Does anyone have one? My genius teenagers managed to lock ours up in full forward. I had a couple of indys tell me they would have to disassemble the seat to get it out and the reassembly would be $$$$. I can disassemble it myself and install a different one. Anyone? Close to AZ would be great!
Thanks!

Have you looked into why it's locked forward?

At any rate, https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...at-bottom.html post#2 - front seat removal instructions
Perhaps you can look into it yourself before finding a replacement.

I looked at a lot of posts on the internet and tried to fix it myself before I took it to the shops. (Note I really trust one of these guys and have had great luck with his servicing of my cars) It seems that something is jammed in the track. The seat tries to move but is stuck on the inside track of the seat. I'll check out your link. Thank you!

For these type of issues where you can't see the issue or it's hard to access, I use an endoscope (wireless type) that allows me to look into tight areas. It would come in handy in your situation so you can see the "inside track area" under the seat to see what might be possibly "obstructing" the rails.
Handy and inexpensive device I've used over the years under the hood, under the chassis, lower front end of the MB when you drop nuts and bolts you need to recover and they land on top of the antinoise capsule, my missing pennies, etc... you what I mean.
