Read hatch pull pocket fell in my hand today. Upon close inspection, it is really not designed to pull the heavy hatch door often; all the force is concentrated on 4 tiny easily worn out plastic dents. No wonder the new W164 has an electronic hatch.

It is amazing to see what this truck would do 200 miles after warranty. The retaining clip on the driver’s floor for the rubber mat just broke yesterday. Anyone has replaced it?

All in all, I still enjoy driving the truck every mile, don’t know why
