MBTex Ripped?
08 C Class Driver side MBTex has a few rips in it. I should have went with the leather but the dealer talked me out of it and stated that MBTex is stronger. Any ideas how to repair this seat?

Take it to an upholstery shop and get it replaced. Most will have access to the same MB-Tex material so you'd get the same color assuming it hasn't faded.

I actually just went through the same thing. Took it to Fletcher Jones and got the bottom seat cushion replaced under warranty. Sadly they did a crappy job stitching it all back together and the seams are bumpy and inconsistent throughout (especially when comparing it to my passenger's seat). But I'm too fed up with them to take it back at this point. Been there way too many times this past month and something always comes back awry. T_T
