Third Row of Seats For M Class

Hello,

I was wondering if you could get the third row of seats for an M Class as a dealer installed option, and not from the factory, direct. Thanks a lot for your help.

If I remember correctly, the 3rd seat is a $995.00 option from the dealer.

In order to enter the 3rd row of seats, do you enter through the door. For example, does the second row of seats "tumble."

Thanks.

Got my 3rd row seats for $900 including installation by the dealer.
I can only describe the engineering behind the ML's 3rd row seats as...AWESOME. Im 6'0" and Im VERY comfortable in the third seats. The second row seats have 2 adjustments, and you adjust them forward when someone will use the 3rd seats. You enter through the right rear door. You simply flip one of the second row seats forward and in you go. The 3rd row seats also matches the rest of the seats so everything blends in.
If youre thinking about this option, dont think anymore and just go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Someone told me that getting this done in California is not legal from a dealer. Do you know the dealer name that did this. Does your M Class have leather or cloth seats. Additionally, does the dealer stock this option if you call them. Thank you very much.

The name of the dealer is Rusnak. They have MB dealerships in Pasadena and Arcadia, CA. Your info regarding the legality of 3rd row seats in CA is inaccurate, as the dealer installed the seats before we took delivery of the car. My seats are leather.
