Renovation of the window and mirror control panel – Mercedes GL
Last updated: 15.09.2026
Type of material:
Plastic control panel for windows and mirrors – part of the interior of a premium vehicle.
Solutions applied:
We decided to completely renovate the surface of the panel, including:
- thorough cleaning and removal of sticker residue,
- repair and restoration of the element’s paint coating,
- precise laser engraving of all icons (12 pictograms in total) in accordance with the original,
- protection of the surface with a protective varnish with factory-level gloss.
The process required high precision and the use of laser technology, thanks to which each icon was restored with an accuracy of tenths of a millimetre.
Result:
The control panel looks like new – the icons are durable, clear and aesthetic, and the entire element looks like it has just been factory-fitted.
Customers were also looking for this type of service when asking about:
Mercedes button restoration, control panel icon repair, interior plastic regeneration, laser engraving of buttons, window and mirror button repair, Mercedes interior detailing, cockpit component restoration, car button repair.
Unfortunately not, and it’s a common mistake we see in the workshop – exactly as in this Mercedes GL project. Stickers usually start peeling and warping after a short time, which ends up looking worse than the original wear. The only permanent solution is a full restoration: removing the adhesive residue, repairing the paint coating, and precisely laser-engraving every icon to match the original.
As many as the original panel has – in this Mercedes GL project that was 12 pictograms, each recreated to an accuracy of tenths of a millimetre using laser technology. The number of symbols doesn’t affect the quality of the result, only the time and cost of the job.
No, this is a purely cosmetic repair limited to the plastic surface. Cleaning, repairing the paint, and laser-engraving the icons don’t touch the mechanism or electronics controlling the windows or mirrors – the panel works exactly the same after restoration as it did before.
Time and cost depend on the number of icons to recreate and how damaged the original coating is (e.g. whether stickers were applied before and need removing). The standard process includes cleaning, repairing the paint, laser-engraving all the symbols, and protecting the surface with varnish. We provide an exact quote individually after receiving photos of the panel.
We work with window and mirror control panels from all premium brands, not just Mercedes – including BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, as well as supercars like Ferrari. The restoration principle is the same regardless of brand: full cleaning, paint repair, and laser-recreated symbols matching the original.
