Second row seat swap????
Hi all I have a 2000 ML430 and I have a baby on the way and I've just noticed my back seats (single and the double split) don't have the Isofix anchor points and I've just found on eBay a matching rear seat the single one which has got Isofix, this seat has come from a 2002 ML and I just wanted to check that it will be a straight swap?
The seat I've found:
Any guidance will be appreciated

If your ML was built in or after September 2000, then it will be a straight swap. Any earlier than that - (edit: see below for details). The folding seat frame had a major re-design for the 2001 model year.

Correction: the seat frame redesign was done a year earlier, from late September 1999 for the 2000 model year. In other words, the 2002 seat will fit your Apr-2000 ML.
Here's the evidence: http://www.bayhas.com/mercedes/a163/..._2000chngs.htm

That's great.
Thanks very much for the up date
