If it's factory tint, it is imbedded in glass and can't be removed.

Call a tinting shop and ask what chemical to spray on film to soften adhesive, or ask for removal quote too

hi,send your car to dealer to scan the problem,maybe erase fault is require ,or you can found the exact defective part,ty

Hi ddansvob-

Most of the codes for Mercedes C320's can be cleared (at least temporarily) by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery and leaving it disconnected for at least 1 minute. I would give it several minutes just to be sure.

There is also a reset procedure that you can use that involves disconnecting the battery, turning the ignition to position 1 several times and then reconnecting the battery. That procedure can be found with a google search.

Possibly the easiest way though is to visit an Autozone or other similar store that has an OBDII scanner that they will use for free on your car, and have them reset the codes. If there is an actual issue with a sensor, etc. though, the code will come back up after the car has been started a time or two. If that is the case, you are going to have to troubleshoot the actual cause of the code, involving finding a Mercedes shop that will help you with identifying what sensor(s) are causing that code to show up.

If your mechanic used non-OEM parts/battery, that is very likely to be the source of your problem. Assuming that they didn't do that (which would be unusual for any mechanic to do), you are likely looking at replacing a voltage sensor or part of the voltage regulating/distribution system. If you get to that, you are REALLY going to need an experienced Mercedes mechanic.

Good luck!

Hi Karen, Can you elaborate a bit? Please tell me exactly what your symptoms are...is the steering difficult, or does the steering wheel not turn at all? What is the 'compressor' you're referring to, and what are its symptoms? Thanks

code p0335

Either your POWER STEERING pump has NO FLUID or your "Rack and Pinion" parts of your steering assembly is broken. Either way you might be best served by getting the car towed to a Auto Repair Shop that services your Make/Brand of automobile.....

if it's really hard to turn then maybe the power steering belt has come off, pump is bad or out of fluid, have a friend take a look

yes the switch could have a lot to do with it ,make sure car is in park sometimes it may be in park and the brain or computer of the car is not recognizing it so take out of park again and put back in park , also if you shake your steering wheel on a lot of Mercedes cars from left to right while turning key will release it also.good luck

Check your power steering pump and pump gear and all mechanical linkage to be safe. Most of the time it is the rack and pinion going bad, but can be a bad cv joint so check completely.

Check to be sure the trunk is closing all the way. It happened once to me - someone slammed my trunk shut and after that it would not close all the way. Never slam a Mercedes trunk!

You can't program a merc key without a factory key but if your key is not working maybe the problem is the EZS or other fault it will need plugging into a merc diagnostic to confirm
