I have a W209 CLK55 AMG Coupe and it has those awesome AMG Multicontour Seats. But like every-other time i adjust or my passenger adjusts the seats, those button thingies fall off. Do ya'll know of any solution to this because it really pisses me off. Seems like everytime i get out of my car I have to look on the floor to find those thingies. I'm thinking to super-glue them but don't want to make it worse. Please help if you have any ideas. Thanks!

There is no real solution to this problem an mercedes never really fixed it. I have seen cars in the show room with those buttons out also. I would suggest you glue them but make sure you don't restrict the movement of the buttons.

Thanks Sunil! I've seen dealerships w/ cars having those buttons off as well. It kinda looks a little cheap but ohh well... I guess I'll try to glue them on or something. btw, I was lookin thru your profile. How much did u pay to get the TV Tuner in your Navi? Did you get it from Steve?

Hmmmm.....those buttons have yet to fall off in my car. Thats odd. Try getting them replaced under warranty.

I got my tuner from Steve. It was a while back though. It appears Tuners are pretty scarce now!

UPDATE:

I took my car into the dealership for Service A and told them of my seat problems. They weren't hesitant at all to fix it but the part had to be ordered. The part(s) are on order as we speak. I'll let you guys know how it goes once they complete their job.

keeklu, how did yours go? Was it fixed properly?

Mine got done this week..no problems. Bit of a delay as MB sent the wrong part initially. In saying so....I can guarantee that this gadget will endure the same fate. Those covers are plastic clipped to those control buttons. Very clumsy Mother AMG!!! Better payup for that extended warranty!!

Wow, I never knew they would replace it with the exact same part. I figured there would be some type of "new and improved" controls for the seats. If they install the same cheap unit, they're gonna fall off again for sure. They might as well not fix it and just give me a lifetime supply of those plastic covers for the buttons so as they fall off and I lose them, I just put a new one on. Ohh well - I'll get mine fixed and deal w/ it when it breaks again. Thanks for your feedback man!
