AMG Performance Seats Question

[Mrbunker]

Hi all,

I’ve just taken delivery of my C63s Cabriolet with the performance seats and I’m not sure if what follows is a fault or simply a quirk of design (and I think the dealer is a bit lost too). It relates to the adjustable bolsters on the squab (as opposed to the backrest). When activating the switch only the left hand bolster adjusts and the right hand one remains static. It seems to me that this may mean the seat isn’t functioning properly (as obvious as that may seem) but I had wondered if it was a deliberate setup due to the right hand offset of the pedals to leave some lateral movement of the right leg. I suspect I’m overthinking this and that both should move simultaneously as the backrest ones do but if anyone can confirm or deny this I’d be very grateful.

Regards

No, you are correct, it is faulty.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply, I had reasoned it must be but as the dealer was unsure (I know, I know) I thought I’d check with the experts here!

Much appreciated,

MrB

Now that Alex has answered your question, we ought to see some picture of your lovely car under the “Introductions” section. Welcome to the forum.

I’d say faulty as well, I had similar in my 911 and both sides inflated

Surely the dealer has another they can check? I’d say it’s faulty tho

I kind of doubt it, not the most common Mercedes in the dealership...

Definitely faulty , what a shame but should be a relatively easy and warrantied pain free fix

Bit off thread apologies but when you going to spill the beans what’s coming next Alps? That is a very hard act to follow....

He’s got Dave’s old 63 at the moment unless I’ve missed something and he’s changing again?

Yup, saw he’d parted with that beast elsewhere and I had a suspicion what was following but was wrong...

I thought that too but Dave mentioned the plan.
