Just got my new-to-me '12 C63 delivered today (it came from CO to NH, so I never saw it in person). Unfortunately, the seller didn't disclose, nor did my pre-purchase inspection notice, a number of small tears in the left bolster of the driver's side seatback. I know this is common due to the "ample" bolstering, and that a few of you have had these replaced either through MB goodwill or your own pockets.

Just curious if anyone knows the part number for the seat back cover in black w/ the Alcantara inserts.

Thanks!

Disregard, after some pushing my dealer provided the part #. A 204 910 21 08 9G60 if anyone's interested.

That's good to know, thanks. oediscountparts.com has it for $386.25. Good option for people looking to change to the alcantara seats.

Do you have a pic of what we're talking about? As in are these for the sport seats or the regular?

Anyone got the part number for the leather covering just the driver side bolster and the bottom left of the seat cushion?

Also the seat cushion of the passenger side?

I think these are considered the sport seats.

That's some pretty heavy damage. I'd be a little annoyed too. Hope the rest of the car is to your liking - everything else check out?

Strangely, the passenger side floor mat was missing. And of course, Mercedes only sells the set. Other than that, it's in better condition than I expected. Virtually no rock chips/sand blast on the front bumper/hood. Not bad for 36k.

I complained to the inspection company, and they refunded me money.

Swung by a custom upholstery shop that put a new top on my wife's (then-girlfriend's) Miata many moons ago. He has an exact match for the leather, and quoted me $200 to unstitch the ripped section (as well as a few other sections that need to come out to keep it seamless) and stitch in a new section. I decided to go that route rather than spend the $385 on a whole new cover and then spend a day swapping it out.

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I just noticed a small tear in my driver's side bolster. Were you happy with the quality of the upholstery repair shop? And would you recommend them? I am in Northern MA so might be worth me taking a ride up that way. Thanks!
