Tire cover leaking(?) - any solution?
Hei!

Ive had my G-wagen for about 6 months now in Norway - and i love the car!

I recently noticed that my G-class tire cover appears to be leaking? The spot beside the emblem has gotten way bigger the past month or two - and im wondering if it could be water that leaks into the coverage? Is it a fix for this, or should i expect to buy a new one?

If anyone has any experience with this, or input - please let me know


13 mod G-class.

Water leaking into the cover?

No more MB:(
Not sure if water or not. Easy to replace I would think.

Appears to be delaminating - should be covered under warranty as it's definitely materials/manufacturing related.

This is just the plastic clear coat peeling off the emblem. The whole thing is glued to the cover. If under warranty, have MB replace it. If not, MB will whack you quite a bit for it. There are Chinese knock-offs available on eBay for about$100 USD.
