Unhappy Anybody else have this problem?

Every time I park to far past a parking block. (The concrete block used to stop cars from going to far in a parking space). When I back out the horizontal plastic decorative centerpiece between the fog lights pops out. It’s easy enough to put back but it looks pretty bad if somebody is watching. I have get out pick up a piece of my car and put it back. It’s happened about three times over the last few months.
I try to be careful not to park to close to the concrete blocks, but sometime you can’t see them.
Frustrated,
Tim

Everyone has had that problem... some have used small ties at the connecting points to prevent that from happening, however, you are a lucky owner if you don't replace that piece at least once.
Poor design on the part of Mercedes.

Thanks,
Now I don't feel so stupid!
I do agree a very poor design.
