Another question about MB Tex
Some of you seem to have a good understanding of the chemistry that is causing the issue with the MB Tex seats. Our cars are all relatively new and I wonder as the seats age and the chemicals begin to evaporate or dissipate, will the problem resolve itself simply with time. I hate to go through having the seats ripped apart if the problem will be corrected by simply waiting.

The side bolsters on my rear seats were not replaced when I had the repair done. The material started bleeding in December, and the side bolsters currently are still covered with either the oily or white residue. The car was built in August so, after 6 months, the problem has still not resolved itself.

Hi stan,
please contact me at scottstevens57@yahoo.com
My c 300 has been at the dealer for 25 days with the seat issue. i would like to ask your opinion of what to ask mbusa regarding compensation but would like to take it off the board and keep it private . Got the car 1/17/15 had it for 2 weeks, car has 240 miles on it. they are telling me another 7 to 10 days because they MBUSA forgot to send the two pieces for under the knees on the drivers seat. I did based on your issues request them to make sure that they replace the piece under the armrest and the two side bolsters, which they have assured me has been done. this means that it would have been 5.5 weeks at the dealer.
thanks

It changes quickly with variations in temperature. It can look oily, white, or even normal, depending on ambient conditions.

Hi Stan
I wanted to ask what parts of the seats in the back were not done?
I know you mentioned the bolsters on the sides. Is there any other part that one should be asking the service dealer about.
My husband is taking the car in Mar. 4th and they said that all the pieces were in. Also, did they deal with the issue of the passenger seat calibration?
Thanks Stan, you have been such a help here.
