Interior aging: wood trim, sills, displays and mirrors

Mercedes-Benz SL (R129) · cosmetic

Interiors are generally durable but show age in predictable spots: illuminated door sills that have often failed, interior rearview mirrors that loosen or wobble, LCD/pixel displays that fade, and heater-control crystals that warp with heat. Center-console wood around the cupholders and the fragile upper console are prone to cracking.
