Rust on a back seats

Flipped my rear seats to move some stuff. Noted they all rusted. MB dealer telling me it's normal! What a BS. After weeks of fighting they finally put come coating on it. Any one else have same problem?

I have surface rust under my rear seats too, not as bad as yours though.

Did you talk to a dealer? What's the explanation? They talk to me like I am a little boy who just got his toy car and don't understand that seats do rust. WTF?
Had and have other cars and never seen inside rust on anything in any of them.

I haven't bothered the dealer with it, i will just clean it up when i get the chance, it is only on the surface no pitting in the metal.

Haven't seen anything like this on my 2013 ML but I'll keep my eye out for it. Maybe I'll spray some wax in there. Thanks for letting us know about the issue. Mine is usually in the garage. I can't imagine where the moisture that would cause this comes from.
