This makes my eyes hurt.
I came across this while perusing foreign car clubs this morning. I didn't know if this was OEM or not. I can't imagine MB ever letting this out of the factory.

I have to believe two things. (1) They weren't and (2) being an earlier model, it's a replacement and the guy thought he got a good deal because somebody had a roll of this garbage in the back at the canvas shop.
