Man... first it gets scratched easily now it's bubbling. I wonder how the interior will hold up in the summer.

Luckily for me I haven't experienced any of those yet. I'm wondering if MB changed suppliers on these parts or something.

It is pretty cheap Benz.

However, I haven't experienced anything that people have mentioned. Maybe I just don't drive enough to test the durability.

That's all in addition to the chrome around the cup holders flaking off, and chipping for no apparent reason. Paying my dealer a visit as soon as I have some time. I'm going to make them replace that whole area. There is no way I'm going the next couple of years with scratches and chips inside the drivers cabin. All my cars have looked brand new on the inside after 3 yrs. This is only Month 2 and there is already issues.....hmmm,,,,,second guessing my choice here!!!

I'm not a big fan of it, but the Audi Q5 is made 100% better. Materials are top notch. The interior feels rich and costly. Very disappointing so far when it comes to the feel of the materials used on the GLK.
