Squeeky driver's seat

Although I only have abt 4,400 kms on my CLK, my seat sounds like a 30 yr Lazyboy chair...squeak, squeak whenever I move or hit a bump...anyone else?

Thats why I finally got rid of my CLK 430 (W208). That car spent so much time in the dealer's service dept trying to fix that problem (unsuccessfully) it was absolutely ridiculous.
I LOVE my CLK500, but if that becomes a problem again, I will be done with MB forever!!!!

I have had the same problem with my clk500...
The dealer tried to oil the seat and condition the leather... but the squeaks on the seat still sound...

Thanks. Will be curious to see what my dealer says/suggests as it clearly is not an issue with the leather--it is the springs.
So, only solution, it seems to me, is to replace the entire seat.
Will let you know.

1iron,

same problem in each of my 208s.

you'd think they'd get it right after a while, wouldn't you?

but because they didn't, i decided that the squeak drowning out my cracking back was better than me listening to my back talk back to me. kidding!

hope they fix it.

david

I have 24,000 miles on my car (in 11 months) and so far no squeaks. I hear a little srattle sometimes coming from the passenger side area but Ihaven't figured out what it is yet, it is very subtl though.
