I have a 99 SLK 230 and the interior door panels are pealing off. How can I fix this? I'm at a total loss here....

 

Peeling off?
Do you live in Malaya or somewhere mega humid?
Have you got a photo?
Exactly where is it coming adrift?
If it is coming away at the lower edge then there are a series of plastic clips which are replaceable. Maybe somebody has tried to remove the casing and damaged these without replacing them.
Subject to the photo you may have to replace the door casing!

Common failure along the glue line 1/2 way up door on R170.
You can force contact adhesive in and press until it sets for a quick fix.
Or you can remove door trim and re glue ALL the spray adhesive areas done during the factory.

The join is for the airbag deployment.

I had the same problem on my '00. The green factory adhesive is cheap crap. [:@]

I removed the door panels (all the clips had removed themselves from the panel.) and reglued everything with Liquid Nails and a heavy 2 part epoxy. Depending on the warping, I had to set a few heavy items on the panel to make sure it stayed in place during the curing process (overnight). Be careful not to use anything that will "dent" the leather. It's a pain, but well worth the time when it's complete and your panels stay in place better than new.

Good Luck!
