Kevin, I'm with Jim, I would have thought you could use the plastic connector case from the old seat and just plug the new seat wiring into it. So was the color match to your liking........remembering your Dad may stretch the truth? Hope they work well for you and outlast the car.

Hello everyone! Now that I have found some wonderful matching seats for my 300SD for a wonderful price (thanks dennis T), I was ready to tackle the project of r&r-ing them. I couldn't move the seats forward to get at the rear bolts in the conventional way due to bad switches and bad drive cables in the case of the driver's seat. I had to use a 1/4" drive 3/8" 9mm? socket to get under the runner and get a bite on them which I'm happy to say worked well although time consuming!! The driver's seat went in and since it worked ok, I was able to move the seat in the appropriate direction to line up the holes and install the bolts. It's now road ready, at least for the driver! I have to sit on the floor board until Dad and I tackle the passenger's side tomorrow hahahahaha! I got that seat out as well, but since the connector shell was broken, we've decided to solder the wires already in the connector to those on the seat using the color code. Daylight ran out, so it's on hold for tomorrow. Then, it's off for a test drive on the cushy seats! Yeah!
