First of all , Good afternoon to one and all
i have a wee dilema,,,my other half bought her "baby"12 yrs ago but with cloth seats .it was bought blind as she was buying it without hesitation, will mercedes SLK R170 seat slot straight in ,they look identical right down to the twisted shape wheel that puts the back of the seat forwards or backwards,,,,ive already made a mistake once and do not want to do the same again,,,,any thoughts or comments will be greatly received
Many thanks in advance
Dave 🍺👍
please excuse / chastise me if i have put this in the wrong place ,,,,,,im an oldie so have an excuse ,,,thanks,,,lol

 

The seat tracks are the same, so I expect they will fit. Please share with us the mistake you have made.......maybe some of us can learn from it?

 

Haha 😂🤣😂 dont buy electric seats when you need manually adjusted , especially when drinkin copious amounts of good scotch whiskey , forget you have bought and agreed to collect them , then try to get your money back,,,,,,however i have purchased a set of grey and black leather ones for £100 that will be collected on tuesday 👍,,will add pics once ive sussed out how to ,,,,,for some reason im having issues doing that 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

 

You were not introducing yourself, you asked a technical question.
Moved to interiors

 

Found this aging post, closest oneI could find to get an answer to my dilemma:
I have '05 roadster base (vinyl seats, manual, not heated, all black). 90K miles took a toll on the stuffing and seats need some help. (Vinyl itself holding up pretty well)
Wondering if leather cushions from higher end model will fit my manual seat rails (I would not use the heater connector - or I could make adding that another project).
There are both seat cushions and entire seats for sale on eBay; 2-tone leather seats would be a nice winter project / upgrade.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Have you tried having an auto upholstery shop look at it? It might be less of a headache and if you pay cash they might give you a break on the price.
Just a thought.

 

I considered an upholstry shop, but likely will be more costly - even just their labor (before materials).
I may end up restuffing the seat myself over this coming winter when the car is idle for the season.
