Although the car is so new, does anyone know of a all terrain tire to fit the 19" wheels? I went to the dealer, but according to them, I'll have to replace the wheel with 17 or 18". Thanks for the help.....

Rear has two map light buttons to turn on & off.
Cargo cover does not come free, it cost $240.00.

If you have the interior light package,then I think the rear fixture has 2 reading lamps with just on/off buttons. There are also LED's above each of the door handles. They are controlled with the knob that dims the dash lighting.

i have my car loaded with most packages (prem,multi,sport), but guess not "interior light package". Thought that should comes with basic, really doesn't make any sense to make it optional.
Can i add it on after purchase? or, is that a good idea to do so?

Light package I have comes with the "Leather Package".
Rear buttons to turn on & off.
Inside door handles LED lights.
All 4 doors have lights on bottom when open doors.

I purchased a new 2010 GLK in April. About 1-1/2 months into owning the car, I heard a popping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. I took the car into servicing on June 30th and technicians quickly found and acknowledged the noise. It turns out - after taking apart the passenger side rear cargo paneling - that some tack welding on the frame did not take place during car assembly in Germany.
 
This is causing two metal pieces to rub and pop while driving the vehicle. An MBUSA chassis technician had to visit the dealership's service department to view the problem. It has taken MBUSA until July 10th to offer a possible repair solution and they still aren't confident this will work 100%.
 
So beware you fellow GLK owners, if you purchased from the first few production lots you could possibly be driving around with the same problem. Although the dealership has been truthful regarding the situation, I am none too happy with my MB experience. I switched from owning BMWs over the past 10 years and never had a problem with build quality and workmanship like I am now 3 months into owning my first MB.
 
I would like to find out if any of you have experienced this same type of problem and if so, how was the matter resolved.
 
By the way, I have been in a rental car now for over 1 week and I'm still working with my dealership’s service department and MBUSA on finding a suitable solution.
