Removal of seat cover instructions
After years of constant getting in and out of the 2015 ML350 the drivers side seat MBTex cover has cracks and is worn out especially on the side closest to the door. I have purchased an OEM seat cover replacement. The cushion and all the electric components are fine. Have seen comments that you can unhook the old cushion and attach the new cushion without having to unattach the seat. However I am struggling to find instructions/steps on how to actually do it. Anyone able to offer some guidance?

Seat doesn't need to come out if it is just the bottom you are trying to remove.
You need to get the WIS documents. If I recall correctly, there are two trim panels on the side that come off (one large one, and also one small one around the lumbar buttons). Then there are a few screws on the side plus two in front. The seat bottom then comes out of the car separately. Lots of pneumatic and wiring connectors to be disconnected then it can be removed.
There are 3 WIS documents you need... 1)Removing the side panelling, 2)removing the seat cushion and 3)removing the seat covering (leather)
If you can get your hands on these it will make the job a LOT easier and you won't break anything. I know you can sign up for 24hrs relatively cheap on startekinfo.com and print all the documents you need.
