Badging falling off
I purchased a brand new 20196 S65 Coupe. It now has about 2700 miles on it or so. (It's about 7 months old) and I'm having ongoing trim issues. First, my decorative strip running along the roofline came loose. So the dealer fixed it. Now I just realized that the letter "I" in the "V12 BI TURBO" badging on the side fender fell off and that all the letters on both sides except the "V12" portion of the badge are loose. (One can literally wiggle each letter around) Has anyone had similar issues? Is this common? What's the fix I should demand from the MBZ Dealer? Do they just re-glue it? Other? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

havent heard of that unless it was repainted and new letters wer put back on it. or if it had clear bra and they put letters back on. they should be on for a lifetime. You have to buy some 3m double side trim tape and cut and retape them. its about $45 a roll.
clean letters off like new and then cut pieces to retape. or buy new letters.
