Mercedes doesn't cover condensation after a year?
Mercedes doesn't cover condensation after a year? Is this true or is my dealer giving me BS 
They claim it's wear and tear item?
The driver side view mirrow blinks has condensation after rain. Anybody else notice/have same problem?

My side view mirror blinkers have done that after I wash the car since I've owned it. I've asked the dealer about it in the past and he said it was normal. Something about the blinkers are not air tight and are not suppose to be....they are allowed to let air and moisture in. Sounds retarded to me but it usually goes right away after I wash the car. Nothing bad has happened in three years....yet.

Do you have condensation all the time, or just when its raining or washed?
I thought the same way as you did....I was ready to get them changed under warranty, but dealer said it was normal so there was no warranty issue.
I have yet to blow out a bulb, so I figure it is normal?
How do you like your car so far?

OFF topic time.... 
The standrad mode for the trans can be smarter. But I came from a total sports car (Evolution MR) to a total luxuary car. I guess I want it all from total comfort to extreme performance.
This is the best highway vehicle I have ever owned. Better than my M3 but the handling and driver feel can be improved.
For the prestige and class it ranks close to my NSX in terms of attention. I wanted to try something new since my GF left me shortly after our enguagement. It was quite bothersome and getting a different car helps.
I aways wanted to try a benz and I figure it would look better and makes me look more mature for first dates since I still get carded for over 18 movies at time

You can't beat this place for the info you get. No matter how crappy the off topic area can get.....at least I know I can come here and get some good knowledge about my car.
