Rear ashtray open while second folded.

My kid opened the useless ash tray bin while me not noticing. I let my other son tumble the seats and a big pop happened. When we returned to the car I noticed the cover dangling. Is this an oversight by Mercedes? Crazy. What if I had a DVD and left the opening open, same idea? Anyways how many fell victims to this $120 experience.

So your kids broke something and it's a design flaw?

You must be a lawyer for MB...The motorized tumbling seat actually broke the compartment. My kids all did was push buttons in a bad sequence. It just so happens that there is no sensors or warning that a body part of the vehicle is in the way. I mean it doesn’t fold when the driver is seated cause it fears moving the seat can be dangerous while someone is seated. What would be the outcome with a DVD player installed? That cubby is pretty pointless.

As you said, "in a bad sequence". Perhaps the kids should be taught better?
