Problem with center console cover bubbling noticed at 75,000 miles. Replacement cover is the suggestion and will probably do that in next few weeks - about $200.

RookieThe people that sold me the car said all you have to do is take it off and then stretch the leather and glue it back then put the top of the console back on... we did that and that doesn't solve the problem ... it's still bubly (though not as bad) and to get a new console is $235. Does anyone know how to fix it?

RookieSame issue as documented, the center console vinyl gets loose and bubbles. The issue is sub-par quality for a Merc and not what you expect/pay for, but just a minor cosmetic issue really.
