Hi All

Newbie here, just purchased a CLC 180k Sport Coupe
Must say I am in love with the car, but it has a couple of issues and wondered if anyone has any tricks up their sleeves

1) Push the button and the wing mirrors fold in, Push the other button but they won't fold out ?
2) Sunroof (panaromic) Push the button to retract the blind/cover and have to keep pushing it as it only retracts a couple of inches at a time and the sunroof won't open at all
3) Passenger side seat will not open up so your can't get anyone in the back. Think this might just be cables/mechanism issue

I have read about having to sync the windows and sunroof if its had a new battery ?

Thanks

Hello and welcome,

Cleaning and lubricating is always a good start.
Wires break in folding mirrors, if your handy with a soldering iron you can diy it

Try pushing the seat back rearwards as you pull the plastic release handle - this works on mine.

I should really investigate it further and possible introduce some lubricant on the mechanism

Hi All

1) Push the button and the wing mirrors fold in, Push the other button but they won't fold out ?

On all the MBs I have owned, you use the same button to fold and unfold the mirrors. The other buttons move the glass.

To sync windows you usually have to close the windows and hold the button in the closed position for 15 seconds or so.

I also have two buttons to fold & unfold mirrors - possible mirrors are sticking but try just a quick tap as opposed to a press. You may have an option in the OBC (on board computer with dash display & steering wheel buttons) to fold mirrors automatically when locking car with fob and unfolding after you get in (unlock with fob and open door).

Resetting windows & sunroof - already answered above but I always fully close & hold then fully open & hold for good measure.

Welcome. But no, you don't have to take your clothes off to work on the wing mirrors.

That did the trick. Thanks a million. Have lubricated the mechanism too.

Would anyone have an idea were I could get a parcel shelf hinge from. Just noticed I have one missing. Have trawled ebay.
