Rear Seat Removal
Something stupid has rolled from the trunk into the back of rear seat area (possibly under the seat) and its driving me nuts every time I make a turn. It emits this annoying noise as it appears that it rolls over bare metal. I tried to remove the lower rear seat cushion by giving it a good pull up but it would not bulge. Anyone tried this before?

If whatever it is is loose, you might want to take it for a drive and turn sharply to try to get it to move to the opposite side before you try this.
NOTE: I did this on a previous car, not an E class so it may not be possible to get your hand in on this one.

Hehehe, what "smart" thing would find itself in that place 
. Anyhow, I tried to put my hand through but could not find anything. Also, I tried to suck out whatever's there with the thin end of my shop vacuum cleaner with no result.
Well, I tried and I failed. Booked an appointment with the local stealership so they can find out what's there, as well as fix my dash rattles/creaks/snaps that are driving me insane. Funny they were aware of the dash creaks and rattles and apparently there is a TSB on that.
They can have fun with it all as it is easily reproducible and still under warranty!

Thanks! Would you know how to remove those bolts? I looked and I cannot see anything. Also, I think the cushion is bolted to the chassis on the rear end as well. I'm taking it in anyhow.
