My seat actually has play above that screw. Has anyone had that issue yet?

2006 E55, Various other German and ‘Murican
As an update there are three (3) separate different seat attachment pin types. Looks like front two are same.

Rear two are different for onboard and outboard. Love ze Germans.

Outside has a larger longer bolt with two different plastic inserts. Did not take a pic, as I was just checking to see if it was in good shape.

Inside is somewhat different then the fronts but mostly similar except for shoulder diameter for largest diameter steps on bolt.

Pretty needlessly complex, but, you know, the Germans.

+1

I need to replace all of my bolts and bushings. One of my bolts snapped while replacing a failed WSS sensor and the plastic bushing disintegrated so I want to replace all of mine just to be on the safe side. Open to more permanent solutions, preferably those made of metal.

Wobble seat

Bushin

Part #145 is not available separately, come with #10 ($1,700.00)
I recommend go to the Hardware store and get a brass / bronze bushings I.D. 12mm, O.D 15mm cuts pieces of 5.6mm / 5.5 (only 3 ),
the 4th weight sensor don’t required bushing, as spacer between the bolt head rail any nylon washer.

Just ordered 2 of these Volvo bushings for about $10 to repair my wobbly front passenger seat. Hopefully it's a nice fit as you say.

Hey @jonUF02 curious if you ended up trying those Volvo bushings? I might seem to be having the same issue and thing of trying it otherwise I might just fork the money for the Mercedes part since its annoying having the seat rocking.

@benzspill I did get them and I don't see how they would work. I ended up just doing the tape method and it's good enough. I'm not paying $200+ for the MB kit with a few bushings and bolts.
