Yeah, who knows how they got it, either the car got crashed or the dealer order a set but never installed it. I wasn't too worried as paypal is pretty good at protecting the buyer and at least the pictures were legit along with the right part number.

No worries many of us are stuck with the faded wood or forced to pay an arm and a leg. I put in a claim with MBUSA and they said when I bring it in next time they'll look into it but I doubt much good will is going to be given. I assume they'll help me with some of the cost since I've spent a few grand at the dealer out of pocket since taking ownership of my E.

Anyone has any DIY info as for how to remove the seat etc? I have pretty much do all the service and repair for all my other cars, but just don't know too much about the W212.

It's mentioned in a few other threads. Only tricky thing is if you have dynamic seats. You have to cut one of the air lines and reconnect it afterwards.

Is this leather or the MB Tex? A lot of us have this tear in the same spot with the MB Tex. The dealer quoted me about $1200 and for the MB Tex, not real leather

And a private place quoted me $600 for the parts and labor.


On an unrelated note, my back door handle latch mechanism broke and the dealer wants to charge me over $1600 to repair it... I think they are trying to screw me.
