samr46952 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Is it necessary to have a plastic trim in place to protect the carpet where the hinge goes through the boot side liner? I trust that the provided description of the area is sufficiently elucidating, since I am currently unable to physically access the car to get a photograph.

Trevorseaf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It is recommended to install a plastic cover on the arm of the hinge. One aspect is the provision of a protective covering for the electrical harness associated with the illumination of the licence plate. I do not recall seeing any objects affixed to the carpet in my vicinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samr46952 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 I have seen an image in a certain location depicting a plastic trim that serves the purpose of safeguarding the perimeter of the aperture through which the hinge traverses the lining of the boot. The significance of the matter may not be profound, however once I am aware of its absence, it becomes a source of annoyance for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML350_Colin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Will you really need me to go outside in inclement weather in order to investigate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samr46952 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Certainly not; it is advisable to wait till there is snowfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML350_Colin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Drenched. Please note that the model I own is an early W209, which may have variations compared to other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML350_Colin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 If the presence of plastic trim around the perimeter of the aperture is expected, I share a similar perspective as you. I will persist in my search until I locate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samr46952 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 I express my gratitude for your response. It is noteworthy that my perspective aligns with yours, so intensifying the enigmatic nature of the subject matter. I extend my appreciation for your contribution.

Trevorseaf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It seems to be an aesthetically pleasing piece of decoration, prompting my want to get a pair, specifically two units. It is time to initiate the activation of the Electronic Power Control system (EPC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML350_Colin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I have not seen any relevant results on the Google picture search platform. I have come across an image depicting a CLK DTM AMG, which does not exhibit the aforementioned features. However, this phenomenon may be attributed to the pursuit of reducing weight.

samr46952 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 There seems to be a potential chance for using a 3D printer in this context. However, it is regrettable that I do not own such a device nor do I possess the inclination to acquire one. Despite my efforts to search the online parts catalogue, I have been unable to locate the desired item. It is plausible that the item in question may be an integral component of the lining. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that I have encountered a video on the platform YouTube that demonstrates the process of removing the aforementioned plastic component.

ML350_Colin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It is possible that the object in question does not belong to the category of CLK. The seat release handles are not visible to me. Is it discernible that there is a prevailing atmosphere of tranquilly inside the business premises today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevorseaf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Was the inclusion of a split seat not offered as a standard feature by the manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samr46952 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 It seems that the image I have shared corresponds to a w211 model. However, it is reasonable to assume that the plastic trim in question fulfils a similar function universally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrellll Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 The CLK W209 model was equipped with standard split/folding chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
