Help! Drivers Door Bubbling, Blistering?

Hello All,

I have used the search feature to research before posting this thread. I have a problem with my armrest on the drivers door panel bubbling or blistering on my 2010 C300 Sport. I went to the dealer & they said its not covered under warranty as it is wear from my elbow but my elbow does not go near the spot of bubbling.

I have attached an iphone pic as its worse in person.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is there anyway to fix?

Thanks So Much!

Tom

acarter53 Thanks for the Advice!


I actually just called MBUSA after going to the dealer again, so I am waiting for an adviser to return my call now that a case is open. The dealer said they have not seen this before either but as we all heard before their hands are tied.


I also went to an upholstery shop & they said it looks like the leather is pulling apart from the foam?
