1977 to 1985 Bad Front Seat Restoration Part 1: Green is Good, No?

See part 2: • 1977 to 1985 Bad Front... You have options, but good original W123 and W116 seats are getting harder to find. Link to my repair kits: mercedessource...

That’s commitment, you’re going down a rabbit hole as you’re winding down your business and selling your cars, but as long as it’s fun, it keeps you young & happy! Bravo 👏

Oh man, i can't belive this! After this video i had to rush to my garage to see wich one i have bought to my own w123. And guess what, now i have the same issue! I have bought the older seat too! What a coincidense, never knew that mb-tex seats have that kind of difference. Everyday you learn new stuff huh.

love the green seats

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Why couldn't MB keep the seats simple on the w123 models.

[@Mercedessource]

I personally do not mind. If you have been around the W123 you have to admit the 1985 seats are way more comfortable than the 1977 seats - especially if the fiber padding has started to turn into shredded wheat!

[@RR-mt2wp]

Very surprised by the difference in seats, hopefully the one you need is going to turn up.

Well, in the words of Kermit the frog 🐸 “it’s not easy being green!”

Well you could use the frame from your torn seat, and swap over the leather and foam from the ebay seat. That would solve your issue

[@Mercedessource]

That would not work. Even though the frames look similar they are very different.

I installed Sheepskin and haven’t looked back!

I kind of like the green and tan. :-)

[@Mercedessource]

I was sooo tempted as the green seats are in super condition. Anyone need some W116 green seats...??
