Caught you attention, eh?

She claims the seats hurt her butt after a couple hours. Maybe it's my imagination, but my seat feels a little hard on the bottom since she mentioned it.

What says the group... have them re- padded, buy sheepskins, get another girlfriend? The springs seem fine, the padding may be a little settled.

my girlfriends claims she slides out of the seat. but never that the seat hurts her rear.

Buy her lot's of candy and ice cream.... she'll provide her own padding.

Seriously, sheepskin or new padding will probably help.

I think the most chivalrous thing would be to offer to massage the painful area. Of course, you may never leave the driveway....

Did you inspect the spring box?? That was where I noticed my broken spring- 3-4hr drives were uncomfortable. New spring box and pad-everything is great!

MB's are known to be firm seats. Broken spring could easily be the problem. Make sure the height is adjusted properly for her. If the seat front edge is applying pressure to her legs, then it will press on nerves/blood supply and that bugs me.

I second the motion. For diagnostic purposes, of course.

Gentlemen:

I'm attempting to get the photos in response to the kind offer for assistance, but am meeting with a little reluctance.

I knew that these sorts of comments would "rear up"

Isn't it just like a bunch of Benz-heads to crack jokes about something as serious as uncomforatble seating.
