Peeling Strips on Roof

[akula]

the 2 strips on the roof of my W204 has started peeling off and CNC quoted $300+ for EACH strip

 

any bros or sis here have this problem and can recommend a cheaper remedy

For me this kind of things I would check with bodyworks workshop first. Those workshop that does paintjob , I think they could help to glue the strip back

it's a very common problem for the panaromic roof. This a plastic piece that can be easily replaced...DIY. Its held on by clips. Buy the parts from Goldenlink or others.

Hey. Mine too. Was still thinking to respray car... Seems like cheaper method now... Wondering how to get part number.

Just go part shop, give your car number, they will check your VIN no.

After that they will check the part number for you.

I have this problem 2 years back as well...its a common problem. E-Class ones comes with Body Colour actually. What i did was to send for spray painting with gloss finishing. Think its about 100+ definately cheaper than replacing new ones...was thinking it will happen again after a few years even if replace new strip...might as well spray. Its easy to take out, no tools required.
