Early '90s up through at least 1996, or so I have heard. My '96 E300D (early W210) definitely has the problem although not as bad as some folks have had with theirs. AFAIK, the only problem with the early W124 cars (for example 1987 300D Turbo) is the wiring to the rear windows – and that is a stranded wire gauge problem, not an insulation problem. Don't know about c-class or s-class cars of that era.
