88 300E Driver Seat

[Bakervo]

I have a strange situation with my drive seat. When I bought the car it was hit on the driver side. Both doors were replaced. It appears that the driver seat was either bent or broken.

It will not recline and the right side of the back support won't stay in the the proper position, it keeps sliding back when I put any weight on it.

I've replaced the control unit for the seat to correct the reclining problem to no avail. The interesting thing is when I install the switch from the passenger door, it works just fine. It reclines, the headrest works, everything works fine. I purchased a new one from the dealer twice and I keep having the same problem. It only slides forward and backwards, when I push it up the seat goes down, when I push it down the seat goes up.

Any help with this? This is very frustrating....
