Just a little message to those W210 owners who have experienced the "clicking and creaking" front seat frame syndrome.

After having the dealer look at it a couple times over the last year, and having been told "they couldn't find anything," I went back in today armed with the info I received from Jim Smith and others about their own experiences with the problem from this website.

The car went in this a.m., and came out this afternoon free of the clicking and creaking! Service manager said they replaced the seat frame. I have tried and I can no longer get the seat to click, so hopefully this will be the end of the problem.

The part replaced was a : 1 210-910-41-36

The part name says "seat adjuste" however it looks like the whole seat frame was replaced. The old one had a glossy black paint finish on it while this one has a decidedly matte/semi-gloss finish to it.

Hope this is helpful to those out there who have been annoyed by this same problem. I'll post info if the noise returns at a later date. Good luck, y'all!
