Torn Driver Front Seat
Hey guys,
I have an 09 C350 and my front driver's side seat has torn at the seams. It looks like crap now. I wanted to know if anyone knows where to get a new seat for cheap, maybe some sort of national wholesaler. I know the dealer is going to want an arm and a leg.

They can order a new cover, i.e., the new MB Tex or leather. Don't need to get the whole seat. I had one replaced recently, but it was covered under warranty, so couldn't tell you the cost.

I bought some leatherette covers from Top Car Athens. You can see picks in my signature album and here's the link:

My seats are in great shape, but I hate the look and feel of the MB Tex material. These are not generic covers: TCA makes them specifically for your car. It took about 4 hours to properly install them over the MB Tex. Mainly it took so long because I had to take the seat backs off to remove the headrests (youtube it), same for removing the back seat.
The covers "liven up" the interior and look/fit great IMO.
