It is zebrano wood trim but it is all shot.
Looking at armstrong flooring stickback teac and other veneers to replace. Anyone out there ever mess with this? The wood was trashed and falling apart you can't see that in the picture too well.

I had to mess with it. I pulled off the metal part and installed it with 3M double sided tape. The pieces are about $300 EACH from Benz but if you keep an eye out you can find nice ones on flrabay for around $25 each. I have one corner if ya want it.......

I had some wood coming off the metal back and the body shop had some ultra sticky glue they used on it. It has never come loose again. If I was in your shoes I would go to a body shop and get their advice. Either they can re-glue it or shine you on to a good product and you can do it yourself.

is the wood broken or is it the varnish that is cracking? Thats very common. It can be stripped and re-finished if you have the patience for it.

Zebrano Trim
The trim is Zebrano wood from the african congo a rare hardwood!
Mercedes spares no expense. Refinishing may be the way to go here. I probably can get imitation stick on stuff till i can refinish these Ill post those pics too.

Polyurethane glue will stick the wood back to the metal backer. I always keep my eyes pealed at the junkyards for good sets of wood. I find them all the time.
