There's an idea!
With seats all the way back, and all the way down:
Driver's side...............37 3/8"
Passenger side...........37 3/4"

And the passenger seat has not been rebuilt. Probably has a little sag in it.
I had a heck of a time getting the leather seat cover over the new driver's seat pad and frame, FWIW, but it seems right to sit on. And I did finally get the seat cover to lay and the stays into the spring frame. It just doesn't give much at all when I sit on it. No mushy bounce in the ride either.

How NOT to buy a MB Diesel:
Know little or nothing about diesels or Mercedes Benz.
Get the WVO fever.
Drive 70 miles to a used car lot in the country.
Buy the car without having it inspected, because it seems like a good idea at the time....
I'll be back. I'm gonna need help.
I love this car already!
