Passenger seat won’t recline fully upright
Hi all I’m sure this has been talked about before but my front passenger seat won’t go into the fully upright position I’ve tried the old go all the way down hold for 5 seconds then go there other way and hold for 5 more seconds that didn’t work, no obstructions, tried resetting memory of seat, removed battery, nothing seems to get it back fully upright like the drivers seat goes. So anyone had same issue and if the managed to sort it please let me in on the secret

Maybe pull down your back seats and slam them back into place( gotta push back in pretty hard on the older cars for it to latch properly) if they don't latch all the way sometimes it will limit the front seat movement

May need to be re-synced using Xentry (MB diagnostics) possibly due to low battery condition.

You dont need to go to a shop to fix this. Just unplug the motor harness behind the seat then push the control forward for 10 seconds and that will fix the issue.

The one that is going to the motor. The motor is the vertical cylinder on the side area of the back seat. There is only one wire going to it just unhook that one. Use two small flat screw drivers to do the job. One is pushing out the retaining tag and one is pushing up the pin. DO NOT PULL FROM THE WIRES.

2012 E350 Cabriolet now SOLD to my son
RE Aircap Check the fuses, but the control module is what usually goes on these A207. There is a thread on here somewhere that someone posted some of the details for replacing it. But it does mean the Aircap and top of the windshield area has to be disassembled. Module is $$$$ from MB and may not be available any more. You would have to check, IIRC that poster found a used module off Ebay or some other place.
Good luck with it and post up if you decide to replace. Pics and better write up would be nice.
Also it might be wporth looking into getting the module tested and repaired, if possible.

The seat is tilted all the way back, and I hear a click when I try to lower it further. Now why did i try to lower it more knowing it can’t go up, you might ask? Well, I read a post on an MB forum where someone suggested the seat would come back up if I tilted it all the way back first. I did exactly that, and now here I am.

I am dealing with a similar problem with my 2003 E320 passenger seat (pic attached)It can move forward and backward, but not up! I’m feeling a little anxious because fixing this might cost me a lot, especially since accessing the motors is harder than before. Bought it a last week :/
