This is great, thank you. Doing mine in the next week or so. Awesome to SEE the bottom cushion pops out without needing to remove entire seat out of the car..

I just replaced the bottom and upper seat covers on my 2014 C250 COUPE. Bottom just like the video . Top one requires neckpro headrest removal which on the 250 COUPE is unique not like on the sedan . Key trick is to raise the headrest fully before removing the seat from the car , unclip the 3 headrest post clips and power wire beneath post then can yank it free of the black clip on the toothed motor arm. The OEM covers and handle were almost $900 at the stealership but the final install looks factory new. Did a couple you tube videos but they are hard to find . The six white clips on the back of the upper are difficult to reattach so used 3/0 saltwater fishing barrel swivels clipped into them to ease pulling them through the seat foam to the long wire across the back of the seat . Have to remove the hard back shell but not the lower side covers and loosen the airbag to get to the side clips of the upper seat cover. Auto trim tool pops all the plastic tabs around the perimeter out. A pencil type soldering iron makes clean holes in the cover backside tube fabric to reattach the 6 white clips and at the bottom to allow access to the two final cover torx screws at bottom . Will get 3 airbag codes even with battery disco so have a tool to clear them or car will disable after 1-2 starts .

I purchased mine from "u.s.autoseatcover" on ebay, I would also recommend reaching out to dismantlers to find good used covers.

Hi Thank you for the video. I am about to buy a 2013 C300 - with little miles , Driver seat is in excellent shape. I am thinking to buy seat covers for the car as a preventive measures. Would that help in preventing tearing the leather? thanks!

you can certainly buy covers to protect the leather, however I have found that the twisting motion your body applies when you get in the car is what tears the seams. It's a bit awkward to crouch in without sitting and twisting, but it will definitely prolong the life of your seat covers!

Mine were just staring to crease crack and delaminate in the high wear areas so I think seat covers would have delayed that a few years.

Good " how not to do," video 👍

Hit it with a heat gun to help shrink the vinyl

Where did you get the new cover from?

My seat looks just like this

Is that a manual transmission? I have one also. Where are you getting your parts for it? My car came with the V6 272 and a 6 speed manual transmission 716

Hi Michael, good eye, yes- it is a 6 speed manual, with the 716.671 transmission. A rare bird to be sure. I get my parts from FCPEuro, I've had good luck buying OE and OEM parts from them and their customer service is second to none.

I worked for MB for about 9 years and never seen one, do you have a service manual for your vehicle, not the owners manual, if so where did you get it

IDK man. I would have put the seat hearer in there anyway. Lol It would have filled the leather up better and look better if nothing else. If you still have it I’d try. Worst case its 💩 and you take it out again. Lol

I would like to re-tackle this at some point, probably just with a good used cover. It's low on the priority list, but I'll upload another video of that when I get it done!
