How to find GLK leather seats for replacement?
I recently purchased a pre owned 14 glk350. So far I absolutely love it, but there is one thing that I wish it had... leather seats.
I know you can buy replacement oem covers, but that winds up being over 1k a seat. I’ve searched eBay and elsewhere but what I find is mbtex.
Since I have a 14, will something from a 10 or so fit?
Are leather seats just super rare for the GLK?
Are there other alternatives that anyone knows of?
Id rather stick with the original seats than get those aftermarket covers that slip over and from what I’ve seen look pretty terrible.
i hope this thread isn’t a faux pas, I searched for answers on the forum but didn’t come across much to answer my question.

just take it to an auto upholstery shop.
Leather memory seats, distronic plus, bi-xenon headlights, and ambient lighting are quite rare on GLKs. Most dealers order their inventory knowing most are going to be leased. So low equipment, low attractive price.Very rarely does one order a fully optioned GLK.
The older GLK seats are interchangeable.

Thanks JohnnyC, I’ll look into upholstery shops to see what they can offer up. I figured that original leather seats were pretty rare.
btw, I enjoyed your write up on the GLK mods. Been looking at switching my steering wheel out for a walnut version from an e350
