Blinking Artico

[JamDebs]

What the hell, and where can I get this repaired. How much will it cost. Thanks in advance.

Just take it to a car upholsterer. We had a panel replaced maybe 10 years ago and it it didn’t cost much at all, maybe £50, so it would perhaps be £100 now.

MB quality? My CLK has same problem.

Not sure it’s a quality thing. I believe it’s a how you get in and out of the car thing. Leather wears too, but differently to artico.

Same thing in my C Class coupe, I have had quotes of between £250 & £350 to repair mine

Check how much a new one costs from MB and remember to ask for discount.

If it's not a quality, what is it? How come my 61 year old 190B still has original MBTex, no cracks some stitching has come undone.

Hi, first, phone Aldridge in Wolverhampton, you can email a good quality pic and description and they'll give you a quote, I've used them several times over the years and they are without peer.

The two things that would survive a nuclear war ... Scorpions and MBTex

I’ve used them as a bodyshop, albeit many years ago, although I hadn’t realised they do interior work too.
