multicontour inflatable seats

my seats stopped working, the inflatable portions anyway. i popped off the rear of the seat, its just 2 screws in the rear at the bottom and i found unplugged vacuum hoses on both seats accessible with ease. plugged in the hoses and multi-contour seats are working again, even the side bolsters i believe, might have to check again.

Yeah, that's the usual fault. Best to add a small zip tie to be sure they don't separate again

Speaking of the rear seat covers......the guys at the c63 section can get those in carbon fiber. Not sure how that would look on a w202 but im sure its doable.

Thoughts?

That would mean no more passengers in the back to avoid scratching of the cf surface, or get them to remove shoes before entering
