The wrinkled door window trim can be removed and looks great with body color showing through (first thing I do when I get a W123). I agree about the door pockets.

The seat pockets are an easy fix by pulling taught after removing seat back. The trunk issue relates to the light weight of the lid which greatly enhances handling (given height and distance from center) which I have always liked as it along with vault-like door closing set these cars apart from others of the era. (think about the size/weight/design of the typical american car made in 1976).

Nothings perfect and nothing last forever, but like Frank Barrett once said about the W124 ACCs, "its just part of the price of the excellence of the rest of the car."
