W212 owners aware — rear brake line fittings are very rusty


Rear brake line/fittings on my 2012 e350 are very rusty all the way to where both lines meet (see lower right corner of the pic).
the front ones are still look like new. It’s a design issue allowing salt water to reach on easily. If you live in North where gets snow, make sure spray something on for rust proof.
I applied rust check on it. May need a brake line job next season.

Thanks for the heads up.

I will check mine when I rotate my tires later this month (assuming it warms up above freezing )
