Door Trim - help!

Hey guys, just want your opinions on this so here's the story....

So today was raining and the door panel got a bit wet while i was getting into the car so i got my microfiber cloths out to wipe but , i found that my driver side door panel trim had a crack in it (refer to pics below... sorry for the quality as i took it with my x10). The crack isn't on the outside but on the inside, however, u can feel a slight bump when u slide ur finger over the crack. I'm guessing this happened because of the stupid temperature here being extremely cold one day and extremely warm the next.

So does anyone know if this is covered under warranty??

Thanks in advance!!

It's not the door trim panel. It is the woodgrain bezel on the door trim panel. This is a warrantied event. We had a similar crack on the woodgrain bezel on the shifter surround in our E Class and it was replaced without issue and was a known problem to the Service Advisor.

At 11:10, the tail of that low pressure is still producing heavy snow in SE Michigan, and the news shows all of that is yet to pass over you. Have a great Sunday!

I've got the aluminum trim and have to say that the wood trim is much nicer.

Of course, that presumes that one likes wood! Reminds me of my grandfather's Oldsmobile, while aluminum seems much more contemporary. My wife likes the woodgrain in her E, though...an "old fashioned girl"!
