Seat Booster Pads?
Anyone ever tried these?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCEDES-W123-300D-123-W126-300SD-126-Seat-Booster-Pads_W0QQitemZ150103238934QQcategoryZ33701QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem They seem to be pretty simple, going INSIDE the front springs for additional support. Should be easy to make your own out of pool noodles or foam rubber. |

Interesting. He says it only fits on the 123 and 126, but it looks like it has a 124 part number.

Wonder what the dealer installed labor charge is on those?
Homemade Sumatra coffee = $.05 Starbuck's = $4.50 Generic pool noodle = $1.47 Official MB pool noodle = $50.00 + S&H I can't believe the bidding is up to $50.00 There seems to be a business opportunity here if I can just find some black pool noodles! It's all about the brand I guess See how I did it here: W123 Seat repair with Pool Noodles PIC'S

I've used the 126 version of these. A few years ago they were in the $20/pair range at the dealer. Part # is in thread #4 of this thread:
Passenger seat is sooo saggy

My question is where did he get black pool noodles from? lol
I did the pool noodle upgrade this last weekend. Total was a little over 3 bucks plus tax. |

I bought the 124 blocks for $8 each
I guess I need to put them in the seats to really notice a difference. Right now the closet is really enjoying them.

I would stay away from pool noodles, or any other open-cell foam product. It won't last long. You really need closed-cell foam for this application. Closed-cell foam is a lot more expensive than open-cell foam.
