Arrow Sheepskin - Hello cool hiney!

Certainly not everyone's cup of tea....but the MB Tex gets HOT in the Florida sun.

Great color match (silver) of 100% Aussie Merino Sheepskin (7/8 inch thick).

Less than $300 shipped - including velcro cutouts for headrest, and side airbags.

Found the seller on ebay, but bought from them direct.

Good for you. You'll like it. I bought front set myself 2 years 8 months ago for E350 BlueTec. I move it to e250. It fits like custom fit.

does it get hot or is it pretty awesome ? I'm sweating a lot in the mb tex seats, even when the car is cold and the seats are cold, dunno why. Does this get rid of the problem? Im going to buy the sheep skin seat covers asap if this does help.

I welcome some type of leather perforated pad on the base and back to improved flow for ventilated seating ... Color matched to interior

Aside from personal taste, this would be a very good reason to not use that thing.

MBTex doesn't have the vented option. Even if the sheep skin were perforated, there's simply too much hair/fur in the way for the airflow to go through it. So it's pretty safe for me to say there's no perforation.

OP says there's cutouts.

Happy to report that the sheepskin is a BIG improvement over the MB Tex.

After a couple of 95+ degree days, my back and backside were cool, with no sweating. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

What is the car in the picture? It has the steering wheel on the right hand side but you talk about the heat in Florida. Thought Florida is also right hand traffic so the driver should be sitting on left.

Your wood trim looks like it may be fading in that Florida sun. Might want to compare the center console to an accent piece in the rear to see if the shades don't match.
