Definitely my 2011 E550, delivered Jan 1, 2011, failed the 20mm test. Both rear elements replaced.

So far, so good.

Damn! What's the 20mm test, btw?

.... Or are you talking about the Airmatic shocks? (I got O/T and was talking about the wood trim, lol).

The 20mm test is for the airmatics, nothing to do with the plastic looking and feeling wood trim!! As I've said before, it's amazing how Mercedes makes wood seem like plastic. Regards. Ned.
