Was hoping the E550 would see an improvement here. Did it? Has anyone fixed this or come up with a solution? Fabric door seals seem sooooo stupid!

What I also don't like is the fabric wheel wells. Just traps dirt and holds moisture.

You would think that after four years somebody would come up with an aftermarket fix for M-B's mistake with the carpeted door sills - clear covers or something - but I haven't seen anything like that. The only "solution" seems to be, lather-rinse-repeat-lather-rinse-repeat-lather-rinse-repeat ad infinitum.

the next time you all get the J D Powers survey for your cars make sure you all list what you don't like about your cars.

Perhaps these are color-coordinated vinyl for the European taxi version of the E. It would be nice to get a part no. if they match stone, etc.

And the winner is....SpotShot. Great for removing stains from carpet and from the door seals. Sounds odd but it works.

You would think fabric door seals are stupid, unless you had to deal with rubber seals that fell apart as your rub across them getting into and out of the car.

My 2001 C-Class came with ugly black rubber seals, and they were shot within 12 months. The dealer replaced them with the cloth (upgraded to all newer 2003+ cars) and they have held up well. A HUGE improvement.

I clean them with some Water (3 parts) and Simple Green (1 part). Use a soft bristle brush, rinse with water on a clean towel. Clean in an instant.

The Mister Clean Erasers work pretty good ro really bad spots, but I like Auto GLym Interior Shampoo for moderate dirt. It's expensive but works well. I have no really bad spots in over three years on my current light interior.
