anyone's interior falling apart?
i just noticed today that my interior trim is coming apart. specifically the aluminum looking trim above the passenger side glove box. does anyone know how this is held on? can i just fix it myself? it's the center part of the strip that has come away from the dash. i made an appointment with the dealer but it's not till next thursday (boooo). i hope to g*d that these things aren't held in place by double stick tape. anyone else experience problems like this?

mine is a little loose... not noticable though unless you play with it.
I'll get it fixed next oil change no biggie.
I had my car in to fix a rattle awhile ago... i wonder if they had to remove the trim in anyway to fix the rattle? maybe thats what caused it to become loose?
otherwise it must be pretty cheap adhesive to be coming off on its own after only 6300 miles...
oh well, could be worse

Today, I was cruizing with the sun roof open (which I rarely do) and when I parked and closed the sun roof door i gently dragged my finger on the back lining and it completely pulled off.
My car must be mad at me for hitting a curb yesterday while taking a corner a little fast and oversteering. cracked my front lip and scratched my front right wheel.
I wasn't as upset when I realized that I now have a valid excuse to get my new wheels/tires and top secret front lip.

What would you expect it to be if not some kind of double sided tape or adhesive (i imagine those are pretty much the same thing right?)?
I work in the aerospace industry for a company that builds aircraft interiors. Like ballistic cockpit doors, galleys, wardrobes, lavatorys, etc. We use a lot of double sided tape for a number of different applications, and one of the would be to bond metal doublers/spacers onto things. I would imagine that an aircraft would need to be much more durable than a car!

-My uncle's used to be brand new 2004 Mercedes Benz E430, side view mirrors burned out after 10K, rear view mirror broke off completely after the second adjustment, he said he was happy to get rid of his Benz and would never get another one.
-Another friend of mine who drove his bosses 2003 Mercedes Benz S600 had to constantly take the car in for repairs. Eventually got rid of that, so in conclusion to your statement, they are nice cars, but not worth the money in my own personal opinion if they fall apart like that. Just my .02...
