New ML350 today but it has some trim problems. Help.

Hi Guys,
I purchased this today and mechanically I believe and hope it is sound. There a two trim issues I hope can be easily fixed.
1. The clear coat around the door/window trim is peeling in several places.
2. The steering wheel control switches are also peelig.

Does anyone have solutions?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

The peeling window trim seems to be a common issue. I had to replace the lower window trim on both back doors. Paid about $100 each and installed them myself. Can't speak to the steering wheel buttons.

Thanks for the help.

I found the same solution. I am on the hunt for a fix for the steering wheel and will update this topic if successful.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I purchased 2 new strips for $85.00 each. Still looking to fix the steering wheel.
