I pulled the interior panel off the hatch and checked the antenna amplifier power lead (11 volts), the ground connection and the coaxial cable connecting collar. I also check all the connection on the antenna splitter. Everything checked ok.

I did observe a symptom with the truck parked and the radio on the AM band. As I close the hatch slowly the radio becomes perfectly clear when the hatch is approximately 1 inch from the closed position. If I move the hatch back and forth at that location, the radio will cut in and out. It acts like the antenna cable is shorting or opening with the hatch movement.

I believe the coaxial cable is routed through the rubber carrier between the hatch and interior located by the right hinge. Does anyone have diagrams of the routing of coaxial cable and access methods to get to it.

Today i finally got my wheels changed.
20x10 ET35 replica rims + Cooper zeon XST tires (275/45)

The Wheels are finally flush from the rim alone, so it seems i dont even need spacers :)

i ordered the rims online so i worried before about brake caliper clearance but actualy there is so much space now that i could put a 2nd calliper on top of the other.

here are some pics (sorry i didnt washed my car before i took the pictures)

It is pre-loaded to a value of $500 and is valid for one year.

The letter along with the card states the value is redeemable for 15% discount on service maintenance, parts, or repairs (not retroactive), which will save some on my annual maintenance and maybe some repairs, though to redeem the full credit requires spending $3333. The card can be used multiple times until the value is exhausted.

It can also be used at 100% value against against the lowest negotiated purchase price of a new or used vehicle from the dealer.

The fine print indicates it is valid only at the specific dealership, but is transferable to family or friends.

A nice touch from the dealer. :) ]]> W163 M-Class NewsHound http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163-m-class/1483505-500-gift-card-dealer.html
