E63 Seat logo upside down
Just got brand new E63... wife finds AMG logo on passenger seat is upside down.... this happen to anybody else? And anybody know how hard it is to fix it? simple pull out and replace or they have to tear up the seat? Dealer will have to fix it of course but damn, AMG can screw up a logo? just my luck!

Geez... never thought of it that way... a rare unique car... haha! you guys are funny! I'll get a pic of it tonight and post for all to enjoy. I think wife still wants me to fix it though... too bad AMG E63 is not a stamp or a baseball card, otherwise, I could trade it in for a SL65 black series! woo hoo!

When I first read the title of this thread, I was expecting to read about a used E63..... but for this to happen in a brand new AMG is very rare. It should've been caught in at least one of the final insections.

I know a guy who also had an upside down passenger seat AMG emblem.
2 weeks after he noticed it, his engine blew up! True story!
ok, not really...but i had to.

lol, thats awesome. Now check the trunk and fender badges to make sure you havent overlooked anything!
Edit... and now that I think about it, E63 upside down is E93! Did you get the 9.2L engine? Maybe they sell 5 of these like Wonka's golden ticket, and if you're good on the tour then you'll get ownership of AMG production.

Warranty issue? They better cover it...don't try to do it yourself or they may come back and blame you.

Damn that's bad. No excuse.
I'm guessing the logos are put on by the leather seat vendor (Eybl International AG)
Can't believe it wasn't noticed at the factory, VPC, or the dealer.

so was it upside down azncantonw211
I guess mine is the only one... WTF!
Just wrote a letter to MBUSA, this is small issue but really, it's an AMG with an MSRP over $97,000, I don't think it's too much to expect the logo to be right side up on the premium AMG alcantera seats! Sent an email to the dealer.. haven't heard back yet, think my sales person is off these couple days. Will post pics after the fix! enjoy the laugh while it's still upside down guys! And for the record, I did check the other logos, they are not upside down and I don't have a 9.3 liter engine, that'd be cool!
