Amazing work, very jealous of your skills. Hope you dont mind me asking but did you get glue residue on the leather? If you did it looked so easy to wipe off.

Both of my Mercs had leather seats, one lasted 170,000mls before we scrapped it due to an injection fault but it was a 2001 (accountants build) and the other, currently in storage has 285,000mls a W124 (engineers build). Neither have had any seat blemishes at all. Indeed, it is fair to say that the older Mercs particularly pre 1995 were better built. I would bet that the vinyl seats found in the base model W123 and W 124 will still be in good sound condition.

I have only worked on 1 Mercedes from the last century and that was for a new boot carpet. Not a seat. Every other is less than 15 years old and most have been the driver’s seat
@clivewilliams36616 күн бұрын
@@coastalcushionco8227 Maybe this proves my point that former Mercs were better built as no doubt there will be many cars from that era that will be subject to restoration and upholstery is normally farmed out to the specialists. I have always said that Mercedes were built by engineers prior to 1995, which is where they built their formidable reputation. Between 1995 and 2003 they were built by accountants, which destroyed their reputation and post 2003 they were/are built by the marketing men, who see bling outshining quality.

It's about perceived quality. Premium brands use nicer materials, not better ones ;) It's a subtle but important difference. BTW That seat doesn't look premium, it looks utilitarian. Sprinter maybe? Definitely not a Mercedes sedan.
