That simple?! I thought there might have to be some special substance involved...

The felt covered rubber interior trim that goes from the front a-pillar above the window has come adrift & is hanging down in places. What recommendations do you have to stick it back & repair it? Many thanks! Marc

I'm too new to this forum to be able to PM you yet, but I am interested. But if there isn't one amongst this group, maybe we should start one, with a bit more of a relaxed attitude than the MBC?

Thanks, Mike! That got it! Apparently, it had the AMG Performance Steering wheel when it was supplied. Wonder when that went? Anyone know if they're hard to find?

Is there a sub group for us oldies? & if so is there a branch in Sussex, that meet & go places? I've had a little hunt on here but couldn't find anything! Cheers

That looks brilliant Charles. Thanks so much for that :) it'll certainly make a good enough repair for the moment. And the satisfaction of a job done oneself.

No it is torn & has an 'ole in it :( Will post a pic later (need to take one first!) I don't want to pay the earth, but I know craftsmanship costs... Or maybe it's cheaper to source a replacement seat from a recyclers (as we used to call Scrap Yards)?

Can any one of you good people recommend someone who can do a decent repair to the leather on the drivers seat of my newly acquired C124? If not, what temporary measures can I take to prevent it getting worse? Gaffer tape springs to mind, but it might look a bit unsightly & make it worse in...

Can anyone recommend a VIN checker site? That Russian one seems 'out of order' at the moment - and the other one I found that did work said the car was a 2002.. Only 9 years out...

And an interior.. The steering wheel looks a bit lary at first bit is actually quite comfortable, being gripped. The grey leather is smart, but the drivers seat bolster has a tear - need to get that sorted...

And another...

Thanks, Carat. I will try to - this forum format doesn't seem to like iPad photo attachments or you could have em now! Nautic blue she is, & very sprightly for her age & mileage Edit- oh I say! It did add a pic! :))

Well, here's the thing.. Having been a died in the wool Jag fan for too long, I finally purged myself of that ailment & today bought my first Merc - a c124 300 CE 24... I've read the debate on here - as a lurker - about 320 vs 300CE & having looked at a shed load on line & in the flesh...
