CLK BS US spec seat adjustments

I've PM'ed a few members this question but haven't got any replies, hopefully someone can chime in here.

Simple question : Do the US spec Black Series seats have the manual height adjustment?

From what I understand, the forward/backward position and incline is manual, the bolsters are electric. But do these seats have the manual 'ratchet' style height adjustment like other MB's or is the height fixed? I imagine it would be adjustable so you can drop the seat down to the floor and fit in the car with a helmet on for track days.

TIA

The US spec seats do come with height adjustability. It is Electric and is located on the outisde bottom of the seat itself right next to the forward and backward button.

Sorry Kevwood -

I never got to checking the seat and have never moved it from when I took delivery.

No worries Jim, it is however very cool that the car fit you like a glove right from the factory
