Interior Trim "Peeling"
I am currently looking for an R231 CPO SL550. One of the cars I have looked at online has service records that show that trim has peeled from around the gearshift and the interior door handles. Google seems to show that this has been an issue for many years on some cars, although my previous R230 SL didn't have it. Has anyone experienced this?

Ours has been like new for years but there were a couple members here with some armrest leather issues. A swap took care of that...
