Try contacting MB Corporate. Dealers typically won't cover stuff like that, but worth a shot with corporate.

You know Muhammad, I gotta ask you... when you felt that the seat was getting very hot (and it needs to be *REALLY* hot to burn your jacket unless the jacket was made of a Class D combustible metal like magnesium, sodium or potassium - like skin-burning, stove-top hot), did you not perhaps think that maybe you should stop the car and get out before the temperature reached the point where your jacket was starting to burn?

And, for the record, if the contents of the car were somehow destroyed (not just in this particualr incident but in general), that's why you have auto insurance. Not jumping to MB's defence, but this just sounds... well, weird. You joined MB world and in your first and only post YOU STARTED YELLING THAT MB IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BURNING YOUR JACKET AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET COMPENSATION? MAY I HUMBLY SUGGEST THAT IF UPI EVER AGAIN FEEL THAT MUCH HEAT IN YOUR BACKSIDE YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR? IT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE DAY... SERIOUSLY.
