Normal wear & tear on button?

[Bryan Teng]

Hi

 

I asked C&C salesman about the faded icon on my door unlock button and he said it is normal wear and tear due to sweaty finger, not manufacturer quality issue. Will cost $200-$300 to ship in replacement. But my car is only coming to 3 years old (still under warranty). I have never had such problems with my previous camrys and cefiro before. How can Mercedes quality be worse than cheaper Japanese cars?

 

Anyone has such a problem?

U might wanna check with local stockist and get it replace.

[Bryan Teng]

Tks. Replacing is one thing but I just wanna find out if other merc owners hv the same problem. Would be strange if my car is the only one. Is it only a specific production batch or what?

[Odessus]

No such problem for me.

[Old-MAN]

No such problem.

 

Oh by the way, did you for your groomer use special cleaning agent or care products?

 

I had the same issue with my notebook keys also faded. I realized the culprit is the hand cream that I am using.....    

[Odessus]

So old already still use hand cream? Don't waste money bro. Hahaha

[SLKtigress]

cos old = dry.. so must moisturize more... haha

[Martin]

Hand cream can cause fading?

Bro, old to sight....young to touch.....

Bro Martin, all depending on the composition of the content. Most petroleum jelly type will have some effect on plastic items.....

 

 

A simple experiment....blow a balloon, take a satay stick, coat the sharp point and shaft with Vaseline, then poke the satay stick into the balloon...it will not burst.

Thinking of using it for other application. Poke and it won't burst. Haha everyone can remain a virgin.

True...provided the "thing" is made of plastic...

Aiyoh. Maybe the maid did it... leather polish?
