water or condensation on right headlight

have anyone of u guys has problems with water stuck in b/w the lens of the headlight and is still there for the past 3 days, took it to the dealer and they said its normal and it should go away. They also said that as long as its not on where the bulbs are at it should be fine.

How bad is it? It does not sound right - possibly the assembly isn't correct and seal isn't complete. I would push back and ask them to repair under warranty.

wow - that sounds like pretty bad service. try another dealer if you have one in the area? tell the dealer you will complain to MB USA headquarters. The car is under warranty, right? Also, you're confident there is no damage on the headlight assembly caused by negligence or something you hit that they might point to?

The best or nothing
It has to be changed under warranty.
