I bought this wagon from a Texas grandma - the 1998 wagon was a garaged one - evidence of this can be found (1) no fogging of headlights, (2) no dash cracks, (3) no sunburn anywhere on paint or interior. It's never been repainted or had body work (that I can find - I'm vigilant), but I noticed some clearcoat peeling up the uppermost window frames on both front doors (left and right). This car is a commuter, so I don't care too much, but I also know that clearcoat should not be peeling on a 1998 Benz - too soon.

Will MB warranty any of their factory paint work? Slim to none?

The best thing to do is bring it into the dealership and ask.... Goodwill is up to the dealership, not the factory as many people believe.... If you were up north, i would have you drive by and see what i could do for you!

If the dealership doesn't favor your way it's a fairly staight foward DIY fix. I just finished up another peeler and took some before, during and after shots and planned to post them here.
