WTB: W116 Rear seat

[w123fanman]

The rear seat in my brother's recently acquired 1980 300SD have the seat pads in the rear seat removed, plus the strips of whatever the material is that raises the pleats was taken out of the bottom section. I know I can buy new pads but at $540 for the pair plus however much the strips would be for the bottom, I think I should check around first.

If any of you have one on hand or are the type that frequents yards (I would love to but don't have the time or know of many good yards around here), I would love to purchase one. I am most in need of the pads themselves, but if the strips of that material can be included that would be fine, but would even still be nicer if they came with the frame/springs in decent shape and the covers would just be extremely nice if they are MB-Tex and just what would be 100% perfect is if the seat was bamboo MB-Tex and mint .

If you have or know of a rear seat or seat pad set for sale fitting any of the above requirements, that would be great, and I would like you to contact me so we can figure out if your part is right for me and the pricing and shipping (which I am expecting to vary between "owww" and "HOLY S*** THAT F***ING HURTS").

The padding strips are supposed to be sewn into the seat skins. They won't stay in place unless you use spray adhesive and glue them to the back of the seat skin.

TopsOnline sells a new bamboo MB-Tex rear seat skin set for $395, which will take care of the padding strips as they will be a part of the skins. I may have this company make a set of custom two-tone seat skins for me some day.
