Taxi leather quality

[OM651]

Do you got problem with your MB Tex it’s seems to be really bad quality. When i got my car with 140.000 kilometers it’s already was broken in driver seat.

Today I did quick fix! Going to buy new cover cost about 200 £ or do you think guys this can be fix on good will on a 2012?

Presumably , being in Sweden , your car is left hand drive ?

Why not try breakers here in the UK , to see if you can get the passenger seat from a right hand drive car , which will most likely be like new .

There are numerous specialist Mercedes breakers , like Mercman , Dronsfields , Boss Parts , Rob Parker and others ...

Also wouldn't it be Artico in the W212 not the better (long now discontinued) MBTex?

I don't think it is MB Tex, probably Artico and it's crap my CLK has it.
MB Tex is almost indestructible. My 1960 190 has MB Tex and looks almost new, a bit grubby some stitching has come undone.
To be expected after 60 years.
