Pre-emptive or Post-emptive?

Whats the best way to go with MB dealers? If I think I problem will arise should I take the car in before it gets bad or just wait and then take it in?

I think my Sun roof is getting a little loose in the fabric screen part and I also am not very happy about my shifter performance in warmer weather. Both of these problems are not in a non working state but it may be in my best interest to see if I can get them looked at before its broke

Thanks
Ensey

If something bothers you take it in. Thats what warranty is for. But be warned that a minor problem could turn major if an inexperienced technician is set loose on your vehicle.
