Please help me identify this failing weatherstrip/seal (GLE350 roof spoiler)
Hello all,
Could you please help me identify this failing weatherstrip/seal on my 2020 GLE350. It's the weatherstrip that the standard roof spoiler sits on.
The seal/weatherstrip is falling apart, cracking and coming out. So I would like to shoot the part number to my MB dealer for them to order it.
Could someone please let me know what this is called and - maybe - the MB part number? Please see pictures.
Thank you
Chris

Thanks - I can find the spoiler, but not the weatherstrip.
Could it be part of the spoiler and not a separate part?
I have a hard time believeing that we'll have to replace a $1000+ spoiler just because of the weatherstrip.

Agreed to let the dealer figure it out. And…
On the R-Class the exterior D-pillar trim is integral with a weatherstrip that degrades over time. Weatherstrip not available as a separate item so the trim + weatherstrip needs to be purchased. So integral spoiler and weatherstrip would be consistent with the R-Class precedent.
This should be a warranty item for a 2020 vehicle.

It looks like 3M strip caulk.

Confirmed with Friendly Dealer - yes, needs a whole new spoiler.
Crazy Engineering!
But the local MB dealership is taking outstanding care of me and my car.

yes - under warranty
But once these cars come out of the warranty period, if these weatherstrips are designed to deteriorate, Home Depot will be selling a whole lot of Strip Caulk.
