A-Pillar Trim Peeling

We just received our 2012 CLS63 that I bought for my wife and it has an issue with the A-Pillar peeling that I was aware of before purchasing. Actually both CLS models that I looked at had the same issue. I'm assuming this is a common problem since both cars had it, is there a simple fix for this? I have seen videos related to earlier model MLs showing removal and application of new adhesive, but wasn't sure if the procedure was the same for these newer models.
