Window Black Trimming around the Rear Door

Greetings, anyone having the Black trimming tha goes around the rear door peeling away on the ML350? This is the black rubber trimming between the glass and the door frame. Mine is peeling away quite a bit, do ya think the dealer will fix this as the car is still under warranty? Oh, the rear leather seat trimming keep getting "untuck" under the seat frame, anyone has that experience?

My ML350 had the same problem with the window seals flaking off and they replaced all of them with new ones. It seems like the sun really eats those things up.

The Las Vegas sun has done a number on mine and the dealer replaced under warranty.

ya, my dad's 2003 ML55 has had all of the rubber trimming around his windows replaced twice, peels away very easily, we put trim protectant on it this time though, hopefully it won't happen again

Had the same problem on my 2002 ML320, warranty should cover it. I've had a great number of problems regarding the trims around the windows, peeling on the rubber, and peeling/warping of the plastic on the doors between the driver and rear passenger doors. That problem has gone in 4 times for repair, such poor material.

mb is well aware of the not so good finish around the doors and windows.
