Just purchased brand new GLS 450 had on it 55 miles. Front seats upholstery look as if an elephant sat on them for a month prior to purchase.
Made a mistake and drove off with the car before making a big deal about it.
i went back and checked the other new cars on the lot and none of them show that problem. i am hearing this is a problem is some of the GLE 2017. Any suggestions?

mine looks the same. Only front seats. Back seats are OK. I have a maintenance coming up and I will mention it to the service manager

Is this the Artico (MB tex) upholstery ? If so, it was the same in my Viano, and I was warned about it by the salesguy when I ordered mine, so I went for the cowskin.

My 2015 GL had the MB tex and it was not like this. This is a new issue with the 2017 models.

My Viano was a 2010 model produced (if memory serves) in Spain. So if the salesguy is to be believed it is neither year, model or origin related.


I think they just make it too thin so it warps under the heat of your behind.


But I don't have any science to support this.

whats a "Viano"?

A W639 or V-Class as the 447 is now known. Google is your friend.
