I have the same issue, with my flappy paddles on the steering wheel, there made of aluminum, and get hot as hell just baking out in the hot sun all day. Just waiting for me to touch them when I finish work.........hot.

you upgraded then? OEM paddles are plastic painted to look like aluminium. Same for interior door handle, window switches. All plastic.

No.....these are the standard paddles that came in all 07-11 W211 E63 and 08-11 W204 C63, and the door handles are aluminum also not painted.

It's so hot that my steering wheel is groaning when I start the car and it lowers into place.

C300 W205
NYC 101 today, been using MERCEDES ME to start my C300 5 minutes before getting in the car. I leave the A/C set at 65 for MAX cooling.

By the way the A/C in the MB works better than any other of the 20 or so cars I've had over the years, immediately cold, powerful and the direction and velocity adjustments of the vents are spot on.

Ah, the misinformation of owners commenting in the forum of models they do not own. The link states that this sun shield fits 2009 CLK and 2009-2012 S-class models only. I ran the website's compatibility wizard anyway. The reply (in red) was: "This part does not fit your 2015 Mercedes Benz C300." I hope Yuille36 can get his money back. (If, by chance, it fits anyway, please let us know. I would like one, too.)
