Have you tried the Wurth product?

There's a reason that there's a can on just about every mechanics shelf. It works better than any other. The "creeping" nature of the solvent moves the high pressure lubricant into the innards.

HondaLube is a surrogate product that works pretty well, but doesn't cure problem hinges. Other than that, I've never seen anything that actually works on hinges.

I have had this issue twice, replaced under warranty

My warranty is almost done...I wonder what would happen if it happens again after

Hello guys, I have a problem with my seat leather on my 22k km, 2022 GLE. The seats, especially the driver seat has really ugly bubbles. I had it to dealer, they replaced leather, and it is even worse. Is it normal for seats to have such bubbles? They said that is normal because they are massage seats, but I don't have massage option, only kinetic chairs. Attached some photos with leatehr after change. Don't know what to do next.


Actually this was a video, but can't upload video here, hope it is visible.

I have a 2020 GLE with the same seat color, and I can confirm that your seats do not appear to be in good condition. In general, Mercedes-Benz has known issues with the quality of their leather seats. My recommendation is to consider seeking assistance from a consumer protection agency or pursuing legal action. They are likely to deny any issues with the seat quality and claim that it is normal. Based on my experience, Mercedes-Benz has proven to be untrustworthy
