kris, if you can edit the job, what i did when i replaced the pad in mine was while the seat was unbolted, but still connected electrically, i removed the front two phillips screws, then adjusted the seat back and aligned up the middlle and the rear, once they are aligned you can remove them in there current position with the seat out. re install is reverse of removal. excellent tip otherwise, i may do that to mine soon. like that brown, same as my 500sel. i have some "extra" head rests and other part if you ever need any

I think you can actually use a plush carpet as a "pad" and zip tie to the seat frame/box similar to what is shown. I know the springs will take a much longer time to eat through the carpet than through just the foam padding.
Heck, use both, with the pad on top of the carpet!

i hadnt thought of zip ties....my goal with that grid thing was to keep the padding up in the seat...i did this before with just stuffing the padding into the seat itself and once u move the seat forward/backward the stuff would fall out....good idea with them zip ties

zip ties hold a special place of honor in my shop...right between the duck tape and the BAH (bigasshammer)!
So useful and easy to use...a third hand in a can. They can even be used to tie wire togather in a pinch. ;-)

having experienced POs makeshift attempts at "rebuilding"/replacing those front seat pads, I have gone a different route - reinforcing the bottom with 2 layers of adhesively bonded polyester cloth
I first kind of saturate the bottom of the pad, apply one cloth; then spray it and put on another layer avoid so-called NOS on ebay if the color is tan, the adhesive has oxidized (learned the hard way)
