CLK350 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,500 miles
Mercedes clk 350 is a coupe model. When the seat is moved forward to gain access to the rear seat, the front seat headrest automatically retracts into the seat. The headrest goes all the way down so that there is no space between the headrest and the top of the seat back. If ones hand is there as support while getting in, the hand is caught and held until the seat back is brought back into the proper position. The force is so strong and the material on the headrest and seat back so firm that they can break a finger or a childs hand.
