For a car that many have referred to as "overengineered,' "engineered with a cost is no factor mindset," "last great MB," "made by engineers and not accountants," it is absolutely appauling. You'd think those engineers could get those things correct, especially simple things like gaskets and evaporator cores. For comparison, I have yet to read of a W126, which are now very old cars with the newest W126 model available in the US and most countries being a 14 year old car today, having an evaporator core replaced so early. Even lesser engineered GM and Ford products don't carry so many flaws around with them.
