drivers seat doesn't move forward enough
My drivers seat is full power, and it doesn't move forward enough. I guess I'm kind of short or I like to be closer to the pedals than most people.
I notice when my seat is forward all the way and the passenger seat is forward all the way, there is a big difference between the two.
Is there any way to get a little more forward movement from the seat?
it's a 2005 c230.

I suspect your seat position needs to be reset. Had the same issue on my 07, and reset the fore/aft seat position via STAR, and it works perfectly ever since.
Update your location in your profile, and maybe we can find someone with STAR in your area to reset. The other option is the dealer or indy can reset it.

Ha ha, I when I first saw the w203 before sitting in it, I was thinking the seats may not go back far enough for me. But turns out when I have them right back it is perfect. Only just but perfect.

C230 Drivers Seat issue
I too have the issue with the power drivers seat not moving forward or back but about 2-3 inches. Can you lend me to who might be able to reset this, I am on the south side of Indianapolis.
