124 seat noodle fix
Just a quick note of support for using the "water noodle seat repair system".
My 124 has a drivers seat that was quite saggy and a pain on long trips. I loosened the bolts so that I could tilt it over on its side in the car, stuffed the noodles all around under there, between the springs, etc. That was a bit of a pain, and I ended up with some scraped knuckles, but it wasn't too bad. I then bolted the seat back down and it's a huge improvement. Before it sank right down, now it's quite firm. So, we'll see how it holds up! |

damn, you gotta do that to mercedes benz seats? that sucks. never had that issue in my 126 seats. just broken springs from fat people riding them. but you can weld them back together and then they're fine. are 124 seats so different?

Saw some super noodles up at the drug store tonight a little thicker and more of a square shape to them might work a little better . I`ll have be to give them a try on my next seat job.

124, 126, 123, ... all depends on the butt. I've driven some flattened seats, and some that felt like new. Buy from a small woman ;~)

Rebuild the seat with a new "horsehair" pad and 1" of memory foam.
I'm now finished with my third. My ass thanks me for it every time I get in one of them............ |

I found the noodle repair to produce a seat that was so hard it caused a serious backache. Took them out after driving from Denver to LA and feeling as though someone had been running a jackhammer on the top of my spine.

They do make various grades of memory foam in 1". It's not all that uncommon. For this application, you need some heavy duty foam or it will destroy itself fairly quickly. |
