    No joke Mercedes tried to pass off the wiring harnesses rotting out of their cars made in the 90’s as the wiring harnesses being “biodegradable”

    I know this because my dad bought a couple Mercedes from the 90s and I watched him remake and change the harnesses in both, insisting they were well engineered, quality cars

    After he had to scrap one of them he no longer insists they are quality cars

      The protective cover is biodegradable.

      Honda did the same thing back in early 2010’s. They have Honda branded spicy tape now.
