Hello, My electric sunroof that I have recently installed doesn't close completely. It opens and closes without any issue to the point where it pushes the lifting cams to go up the roof level and stops there. If I help with a little push at that point it closes completely. What causes this? I...

Hi, For me it seems impossible to buy OEM trunk seal. What is the best option after the OEM trunk seal? I guess Tructec is a bit famous. But I have heard someone saying it is stiffer and a bit taller thus causing the trunk to stay little bit above when closed. What is your experience and what...

Hello BenzWorld, this is my first post!! Coming to seek advice, or maybe a reality check. I'll save you the circumstances of the story and get straight to my predicament. My W204 2013 c250 had crapped out on me and cylinder number one decided to leave itself on the highway in its wake there is...

I am thinking on replacing the injector nozzles on my w123 240d. And I am hearing about the Monark nozzles and how great they are. I can't find them in my country though, I have to order them from abroad. That makes its price doubled compared to the Bosch DN0SD261 nozzles that are available. My...
