While driving up my street this morning I heard a strange clunk from the left front followed immediately by a definite "spring pluck" vibration. I drove home and looked and saw my driver's side perch has started to separate from the body rail, luckily it didn't completely break off (yet). I emailed the S.A at my local dealer to find out my options. I may have some leverage in getting some coverage on it since I just ordered a new C300 from them and it is due in the end of this month...here's a photo of what a failing spring perch looks like.
