really no way to repair it other than replace it but you can stop it on one of my MB that i had i used some clear nail polish not the kind you buy at the drug store but the really strong stuff they use at the shops for acrylic nails got a small tube for $15 all i did was twist the wheel very very lightly as i was appling it so it would sink into the crack be very careful not to crack it more let it dry over night then i very very lightly sanded the spot and small surrounding area with 2000 grit wipe it down really good with a micro fiber towel then i buffed it at about 800rpms and it was good as new a blind man would never feel it dont know how big it is if its all the way around then this will not work i'd just replace it if it bothered you that bad. nice car btw how did you lower it? if you dont mind me asking

Yes MB wood can be fixed. Many years ago I worked in a MB restoration shop where we restored all the wood interior of any Mercedes. You can even change or fix the wood grain if you wish. The down side is it is a VERY lengthy process and is very expesive. We would have easily spent 100 hours on the wood alone. So fixing it the way described earlier is probably your best bet.
