Ever noticed this before ?

Went to my local dealer the other day and noticed these blanking plates on the new SLK, as usual the sales guys did not know what they were.

After taking a long look at the pictures, I believe those square things are the spots where u put the ski racks into. Porsche has them too. The car must have been ordered with it and sent to Canada or something and later shipped to USA. I dunno the real story though, that's just my guess.

Here are some suggestions:
-Don't take pictures really close to the car! We can't get an idea where the object is located.
-Get a better camera! Or camera phone!
-Order a different car if you don't like it!
-AND LOOK AT THE STICKER ON THE CAR! IT COMES WITH ALL THE ADDED OPTIONS ON IT!

Each car has a sticker on it. The sticker says the MSRP price, options, gas, tax, color, etc.

I noticed your reflection in the SLK and I believe you are over 30 or 40 years of age. Now I will be 18 in 6 months. It is really funny how a older guy does not know anything about a sticker and I have to tell you about it.

Who buys a car without looking at the sticker?
I guess you do!

Those tabs are where the ski rack clips onto (you need to remove the little cover tabs).

Part of the problem is the pic is not oriented (as posted) in the "normal" orientation, as you would see it on the car.

I believe, those are for the factory roof rack. Which BTW I would never left anything harder/heavier than a cotton towel to the roof of my car.

On a "normal" car you do not have those (i.e. they are not standard on all SLK).
