MP Design CF pieces coming apart

The MP Design CF pieces I bought have started to come apart already. The CF is seperating from the backing on the piece around the shifter. Anyone have any of the MP Design pieces have any issues? Wonder if they'll warrant it or you guys have any ideas on how to fix?

I would think they'll take care of it for you. I can't remember, but I know it wasn't long ago you got these pieces? Surprising really, both W210's I had were both fitted with MP design shift knobs that were very high quality, no issues here.

I wouldn't sweat it. I am sure they will take care of you. I have had my kit for over a year and a half, and have no problems.

Yeah I just bought them not long ago and everyone who has them talks of the quality so I was somewhat suprised.

I have to find out how willing they are to replace the bad piece. It's just coming apart at the seams, it's really quite sad.

Everyone makes defects or bad products, I would not judge it on one bad piece, you should see what the outcome is for bfnnrgn, great customer service is key. If MP design replace it w/o a fuss, then I would go ahead and get them. IIRC, MP design makes CF for MB's.
