I have a C180 Euro model and when I bought it never noticed the small crack appearing on the wood panel around the auto shift close to the edge. Looks like its growing longer each day, but I haven't measure it yet. Its about 3cm long and heading to the rearview mirror adjuster. I had a brainwave and used a cut off piece of the stick on 3M clear bra which I was using for my headlamps to protect them against OFOs and have solved the problem for the time being. Lovely stuff, it seals the crack against any liquid spills or even moisture laden air to enter and create worse damage. Blaaaa! When fitted on, everything looks as good as new, viola! The crack is now invisible and only the edges of the 3M plastic film are visible. Really quick cure stuff. Any comments from you guys/gals out there??? Looks like a very thick coat of clear laquer on it and applied in seconds without any fuss and anyone can do it too.
