Re: [MBZ] Seat covers

Typical Costco; sometimes there, sometimes not. I’ve been waiting to see it 
they show back up. Some friends have them on their Tahoe and swear by them.  I 
just want to make sure I explore all avenues.

What Dan said. I found that the cheap ones had artificial fleece on the

I’ve had experience with them, but it’s secondary as they’ve come with cars 
I’ve owned. I’ve never bought a set myself.

I do know from looking at them some years ago that they’re very price sensitive 
in the sense that the quality can vary significantly based on what you pay. In 
other words, if you want nice ones they’re expensive. That variable also comes 
into play based on if you want generic ones or ones that are designed 
specifically for your car.

Sorry, Bob, you have had no answers, but I have no experience with

Re: [MBZ] seat covers

[Larry]

Find a company that specializes in MB seats - I found Autos Int'l which 
specializes in Porsche and they will sell just the rear seat portion I 
need - so I suspect a co that does MBs will sell individual covers.  I don't 
have any current MB specialty magazines handy - grab one at a local 
bookstore and I would think you'll find a company selling the seat covers 
you need.  They may have replacement springs as well - although Kaleb may 
have a complete seat bottom...


Good luck

Re: [MBZ] Seat Covers

[Walt Zarnoch]

I'd go to the local fabric store and get a few yards of something that looks
good, then make my own covers. Bit more work, but then you know it'll fit
and be exactly what you want. ;)

My 2 cents,

like wooden beads.  Doesn't *look* comfortable to me but I guess they

Except for W126 300SDs, most of which have Tex.  Apart from those, I
have never seen a US-delivered W126 without leather, and I think very
few exist, just the rare special-order car here and there.  I.e., any
gas W126 and any 300SDL or 350SDL is going to have leather.
Gray-market cars are of course a different animal.  My Euro 500SEL for
example has bizarro two-tone and two-texture cloth seats: pale tan
with grooves (sort of like corduroy) in the middle, and light brown or
darker tan smooth velour on the bolsters and the outer seat bottom
panels.

Still we've on occasion made fun of Craigslist sellers who list their car with

I really think what we have is leather. It is coming apart and tends to 
curl and split on the leather grain. I'd like to see some benz-mex but 
we live in the wilds of Wyoming so getting to a dealer requires a 5 or 6 
hundred mile trek. I really appreciate all the opinions and information. 
As always, you all help with the questions I ask and make the decision 
of what to do an easier task. Christy

I think most mercedes that are not "S" class have MB-Tex not leather.
It is a heavy duty vinyl with an embossed "grain" to look like leather
and perforated for breathability.  Many people think it is actually
leather.

It lasts nearly forever in normal use.

MBtex is vinyl - damned good vinyl - in my opinion, lasts longer than 
leather, which tends to dry out and crack with age.  I've had 3 MBs with 
MBtex, one with leather; I like the MBtex better.

Are the tex-mex seat covers as good as the original leather? I see them 
mentioned pretty often but don't know to what they refer? Vinyl? I soon 
have to replace mine in our 300SD. I think I'll just order leather and

Re: [MBZ] Seat covers

[E M]

the benz tex is their vinyl, which is often mistaken for leather.  Your SD
most likely has vinyl now, as most SDs came with that.  It's very durable,
and I feel, often stands up better than leather, and is easier to maintain.

I believe all parts are available to rebuild seats, including covers.
Buying enough leather to do all the seats in an SD, not to mention your
time, would be quite a job.  You can ask if your dealer has any new benz-tex
covers in stock, for you to have a look at and decide if the quality is what
you're after.

Good luck,

Ed

MB-Tex is: 

• Somewhat difficult to discern from leather 
• Developed {I'm told} by M/B as a service interior for taxi's. 
• Very comfortable as it's perforated. 

My SDL had leather. 

30 years ago, an upholster friend covered the bench seat of my Datsun P/U. It 
wore like iron until the bed fell off.

Re: [MBZ] Seat Covers for 126 (300SD)

[Sunil Hari]

I found a set of Australian sheepskins made for a CLK320 that happen to fit
my 124 seats pretty well.  Cost me $120 on ebay - seatcovers, headrests, and
steering wheel cover - 1.5" pile.

Hey--

You have all been great with suggestions-- I'm hoping for some direction 
on

this one..

I've got an '84 300SD..  It 'arrived' with some pretty well worn sheepskin
type seat covers..

Okay-- I'll be the first to admit, I hate seat covers of ANY kind, usually
they don't fit well, and they bunch up, don't stay on, etc..  The 
passenger

seat though has cracks in it-- so I'm sorta stuck on this one..

I don't really 'need' sheepskins-- nor do I have $250+ to throw out for
them..

I'm looking for a good fitting, and actually, almost preferably cloth seat
cover for the front seats-- it'd be great if it included an armrest cover,
as that's pretty cracked up, too..

I want something that will fit well, and hold up awhile...  I'm willing to
throw about a hundred on them..  I seem to think that's a reasonable
amount..  I have the feeling the "Mercedes" logo on the car drives  up the
price of everything-- I've seen that with my BMW motorcycle.  It doesn't
need to be 'Mercedes Specific" if it fits well, I guess is my point..

Thanks in advance..

I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions about seat covers; I dislike them,
too.

I do have another suggestion, though. Please sign your name at the bottom
of your posts. That way we'll know who we're talking to and you'll get
more replies (though I haven't seen any replies from Marshall Booth
lately).
