I recently went to the Mercedes dealer to have a headlight bulb replaced. It was under the warranty so what the heck ... let them do it. While the technician was removing the plastic cover over the headlight assembly in the engine compartment he pointed to that one of the clips holding it on was broken. No big deal I figure I'll get my regular dealer to replace it.
While I was watching him replace the bulb I noticed some white "goop" had been painted over the screws securing the hood bracket and fenders together. I also noticed this same "goop" seemed to be painted into the seams of the engine compartment around the fenders and firewall. Now this got me to thinking if maybe this vehicle had been damage at some point and repairs made prior to delivery to me????
What do you think?? See attached pictures.
