Chrome trim/molding on my W212's trunk is loose! Help!
Heya guys!
To my horror I just noticed that one of the chrome trimming "strips" on my W212 is loose (the one on the trunk).
I bent the trimming up a little and I could see that it was fastened with double sided tape ("foamy", mounting tape)!
Is it supposed to be fastened with double sided tape, or should I give the dealer I bought it from a call and ask them what's up?
Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I suppose if it is only kept on by tape with your car, then that's the case with all cars. I would have thought it would be fastened more rigidly than that though.
Just take it to the dealer and have them replace it under Warranty.

Either way, thanks for the feedback. I'll drive to an MB dealer nearby on Monday and ask them to have a look at it.
