W212 Crash - "Comfort Box" Now Orphaned - Needs New Home!
Our W212 "Comfort Box" is available, since it is no longer needed after the car accident (vehicle totaled and replaced by W222). Please PM me, if you're interested.
Incidentally, the W212 performed admirably in the accident:
Pyrotechnics -- Front airbag, Knee airbag, Side curtain airbag & belt tensioners (front and rear).
Hazard lights turned on automatically.
Engine shut off automatically.
Front windows lowered a few inches automatically, to allow dust/smoke from airbag pyrotechnics to escape.
mbrace called Mercedes SOS dispatch automatically; they called our local 911 dispatch and relayed our exact location. Consequently, EMS response time was very fast.
Here are some photos, in case you're interested. Happy Motoring!
Grateful for Mercedes safety engineering!

Sorry to read about your recent loss. I am surprised your mBrace could fired up a 911 call when these car 3G service is reputed to be discontinued. Perhaps it uses defaults back to Edge or uses free 3G channels as an emergency courtesy.
The other driver was ticketed for: #1 failure to obey a traffic control device (i.e. running a stop sign), and #2 failure to yield; warned for improper lookout.
Yep, mine is more often out of the trunk than in, because it subtracts too much height from the already short trunk space.
But it does have a place when securing smaller but heavy objects from rattling around in the trunk Like 2-gallons of milk, etc.
Yes, it messes with the trunk height when stuffing roller boards in there. I use the webbing bungees on either side to secure tip over objects like wine bottles. We don’t drink milk. Lol

If milk was so good to drink, wouldn't adult cows drink it?
Sorry I mentioned 2-gallons of milk... I guess I should have written 2-gallons of moonshine. Geez...
Fun fact... The only mammals on the planet to consume milk after weaning are humans. And... cats don't like milk, they drink it for the water in it... we just think they like milk. My parents fed several cats from weaning to death on water only.
Now, about that Comfort Box... Just as some W212s had "pass-through" rear seats, or non-folding rear seats... and others not (the bulkheads are different), I am not convinced that all cars had the same rear seat bulkheads. Anyone looking to adopt a rescue comfort box should check their trunk, first. That's all I meant to write.
I'm guessing you might be able to sell those burl walnut trim pieces if they aren't damaged.
I assume he would need to buy the car from the insurance Co.,before starting to part it out. It appears to be long gone if he already replaced it with another MB. The comfort box is a simple removal, even simpler if it’s sitting on his garage shelf.
Good point. What is the Comfort Box, I'm not familiar with it.
it’s a unique basket of sorts that pulls out from just behind the rear seats mounted under the rear shelf area. It has a spring loaded bottom and flexible sides so when you place a grocery item on the bottom it unfolds downward and creates a “box”. It keeps your stuff from flying around the trunk area. After you have retrieved everything you push a little button and the bottom zooms up to the top and you push it back into the rear shelf area like closing a drawer.
