Couple of W126 Questions

[DieselPaul]

I just bought a W126 and the seat bottoms are a bit weak. Its a relatively low miled car, but its classic mercedes in that you sit in the drivers seat and you're damn near on the floor.

Do seat boosters like the ones for the W124 exist for the W126?

Also, people use the Meltonian shoe cream dye to freshen up leather on blue and red interiored cars. Does anyone know which color dye to use on a Cream interiored car? All my dads old salesman friends call it "Cream-Beige" but I am unsure of the factory name.

Also, the AC doesn't work, the car is a 1991, does it use R134a or R12? It wasn't required until 1993, but I knew Mercedes switched earlier in some cases.

And finally, how do you remove the plastic trim on the bottom halves of the doors? One of mine is scuffed and a friend has a parts car with a good one, and I'd rather replace then repair.


And yes, its a 350SDL.
