Cracking and separation of rubber edge around back trunk
I noticed some separation or cracking of the rubber around the edge of my back trunk of my 2013 Mercedes S550 and also noticed that it appears to have pulled back a bit from the edge of the frame on the outside as shown in the attached pictures. Is this anything to worry about and does it need to be fixed to prevent water getting in? If it needs to be fixed can I order the parts and do it myself or should I have the dealer do it?

Yes it will eventually leak replace panels & associated expansion rivets. I do not have 221 on hand but attached 211 & 219 instructions to follow.
