Just noticed that the finish of the touchpad is starting to peel-off from the raised line. I barely even use that thing and the vehicle only has 3k on the motor. It is being looked at together with my autoheadlight malfunction (always on no matter what). I think that small raised area of the plastic is a weak point for the matt finish applied to the plastic and just peels away. When they replace it I'll be putting a clear 3M film to protect that surface. Anyone knows how to remove that thing? Does it involve taking out the entire center console to take out that pad or does the wood trim around it just pops off and exposes the screws? This peeling thing reminds me of BMWs.....
Mine is OK so far. Where is the source for the clear cover/film for this?
I'll just cut a custom one using a clear 3M film. Trying to source a mat one so that it won't be shiny. I'm looking at ebay if there is a cover for it like the knob looking hand rest behind the touch pad and so far nothing. I think applying a film over it will protect the finish.

Took a chance and picked up one of these covers from Amazon. Actually works perfectly - no issues with clicking or pinch and zoom on the map. Camera shot makes it look a bit odd but it's not very noticeable imo.
I stink at taking good photos.

Yes, these work perfectly. BTW, You take much better photos than I do lol.
When they called me that my new touch pad was in (they replaced the entire thing) I handed over the shiny alum box that the cover came in to the service adviser and told him "make sure to place this AFTER they rip the protective sticker out of the new touch bad. They cannot believe such thing exists. Told em my plan to wrap the new one with 3M protective film then a angel from a mercedes-benz forum showed me the secret LOL! So thank you jax!!! On your setup you have a alum. bezel the black cover works better. With us poor folks who did not buy the 53 and above models we get the black bezel and the chrome fits better and somehow ties together with the rest of the shiny little things around it.

Hello I think I may be having the same issue. My touchpad is peeling or there appears to be some film on top as I see a small airbubble when I try to lift it from the edge. It is also cracking on the sides.
