My 300SD has leather seats but I keep reading about MB Tex seats. What is MB Tex?

Hard to tell the Old Tex from leather , but a good test is to shoot it .. if the bullit goes through , it is leather.......

Like leather, vinyl is manufactured in many grades or qualities, and MB-Tex is as good as vinyl gets and is probably the most durable automotive seat material ever devised.

Most who ride in my car think it's leather and remark at its excellent condition. In the past I tried to explain MB-Tex, but now I just let them believe it's leather.

Definate Space Age tech material of that era..
It is very common to go to a junk yard and see old Benzs piled up, rotted to the door sills , no windows ,open to the elements , etc . and yet the seats still look new. !!!!!

Amazing stuff.......................
