Rear Door Padding

Hello,

I discovered some padding sticking out from the rear door of my C300 last night while cleaning. It seems like the other rear door has the same issue. Have any of you seen this? I'm not sure what to do. It looks silly and not sure if the dealer will repair it under warranty.

I've read that people have had their seats replaced because there was a tear. I wouldn't be surprised if this was applicable under warranty. It is called bumper to bumper for a reason

I have the same thing on the LF door of my car. Push it back in with a round wood tool of some sort. Or a dental pick.

They will fix it even if you are not on warranty anymore as it is a 30 seconds job. Just be polite and say the felt backing is sticking out.
