leather wrap for interior peeling problem - Benzworld.org

Need your advise: i spoke to MB recently about my peeling issue. they were kind enough to absorb 60% of the overall cost of wrapping up all the peeling parts but i'll have to pay about S$1000. is it worth it? mine's a '97 model.. OR simply sell it off and get a brand new honda sedan or madza 3... comments?

Just repaint it. Search this forum for the threads on what paint to use.

What exactly are they willing to wrap, and with what?

interior peeling do u mean the interior original colors?...like my wife's slk ,it was peeling badly...but the local merc agent call us in and changed/replaced all the panels i.e center panel,glove box panel, both side door panels and all the driver side panels with new ones.

Even though they replace them...they will peel again

I think you'd go mad driving a madza 3 ;) You could just repaint it yourself or find a good interior shop

S$1000 is about US$600. That's seems like a really good deal to cover all of the parts with the potential to peel with matching leather. I would do it in a heartbeat if it included the lower dash panels and glovbox door.

Well, my dealer will wrap it with leather-like material. i think it will be PVC based. looks like leather. and i get to choose what color and material.. i thought it was a good deal.. they have decided to lower it to S$500 or i just pay about US$300. i thought is was ok. this way, the interior will not peel!! they will do everything that has peeling issue.. that includes the glove box, handle, dash, sides.. etc..

That is a good deal if they are wrapping everything in leatherette/pleather. Make sure you post photo's when complete.

i just got off the phone with DC. i will meet up with their rep. perhaps next week to go through what type of leather they're giving me. according to them, it'll take up to 10 days to complete the job but they r not going to give me a loaner car.. bummer!
