The power mirror switch (the L-Off-R rocker part) of our then brand-new '02 300M either was broken when we took delivery or (I no longer recall which) broke within a day or two. It was replaced under warranty, and I thought no more about it. Not long ago the switch broke again, and I bought a new one on eBay. The service manual says to pry off the switch with a trim stick. One side came away quite easily, revealing what looked like hardened crazy glue on one surface. The other side was much more difficult to get free, and eventually I was able to remove it, but it showed every sign of having been glued in place with crazy glue or something similar.
Are such improper (incompetent, fraudulent?) repairs even by authorized dealers common? SOP?
