GENUINE Velour? Is there disingenuous velour out there?
Or imitation velour? Does your come from a rare exotic animal?

I have to say I like your car pretty much the way it is!

Gotta love it!

There are two black latches located on either side of the trunk. One on the driver side the other on the passenger side. Both at the top of the trunk where the lid would sit. Pull them and like magic the rear seats will pop forward allowing you to make space for a "medium" sized object.

The speaker bar gets in the way so it can't be too big.. but it does help out.

You misconstrue what I'm saying - I meant Genuine MB mats as opposed to aftermarket

Yes - I pretty much like it the way it is. Has all the nice to have toys. I was lucky finding it.

My 03 c320 can fold down the rear seats from the trunk.

All ccoupes have fold-down rear seats. Tons of storage, too.

Wasn't the fold-down rear seat a stand-alone option on sedans?

Yes Tommy ~ you are correct. 1/3, 2/3 split back seat folding was an option. Don't know how you triggered the folding.

I don't know when I had the "ah-haaa" moment.. but I know it was years after owning the car.. and I want to say it was after I got the C55. Either way.. which ever car I figured it out on.. C36 or C55.. I felt pretty dumb.

Black rectangle box thing next to the trunk support.

Simply Pull.

And then magic.. the rear seat comes down.. there is one per side.

OK - The CLK uses the same pull levers!

That's not surprising, since they've been using the same door lock pins since 1965.

I'll look to see if my sedan rear seats fold when I remember. If I cant figure it out, I'll look at the manual if it even is possible.
