All right this will be my final post on this thread. I have actually enjoyed our debate though about the quality of MB engineering.
Final counterpoints-My car has zero deferred maintenance and has been garaged and taken care of since new. So I guess it must be my fault then that one of the door panels lifted, the e-brake button broke, the third brake light failed, the engine needed a complete valve job and head gasket? Not to mention solder joint failure in the OVP, fuel pump relays, climate control box and antenna control module.
These are all real world failures I've seen on well taken care of W201s that get regular usage.

Interesting post. The OP Marvin3000 posted 10 days ago and never commented again. So I guess none of our comments helped him/her in any way.....

For all of you non engineers who think you know everything, it was an engineer who invented the automobile that you now take for granted and it was engineers who invented most of the technology in general that you now take for granted. We would have a very different world if it wasn't for engineers.

You're one of the non engineer know it alls showing such disrespect for engineering expertise because it's expertise that you don't have and never will have. Your personal attacks and name calling further make my point and show how weak and pathetic your argument is. You're pathetic. It's time to move on from this thread. There are experts who know more than you do in this world. It's time for you to deal with that reality and get the message to move on..

I'm wondering if I could help break this endless loop. Would it help if I declared you are BOTH right?

And you know this how
It just rankles me that people with no automotive engineering work experience think they know more than the engineers when I know that's not the case. Regularly applying a high quality protectant product to an interior is key to helping to keep it in good condition. That's what I've done with my W201 and I don't have these interior issues.
