This appears to be a common weakness for W222 cars before they switched to a glass piece there. There appear to be three potential fixes:
1. replace with glass -- the later W222 cars had glass for that piece. Of course, the fix costs $$$$, unless your car is covered by the recall (see prior thread for link). So check if your car is eligible for a recall replacement.
2. repaint that piece -- I got a quote for US$450 to do it.
3. wrap that piece -- I haven't tried pricing that solution yet.

I don't have a good picture of the area after it was re painted.

That plastic pretend glass that MB uses for window adjecent surfaces is an embarrassment, have been replacing them since the CLS which had them as B pillar. They last like 4 years, paint is probably a better idea, I'll give that a try as the SLK needs one now...
