Horsehair Pad Differences?
Go with me on this. My '81 300SD and '88 560SEL both had the old style horsehair padding in the seats that gets hard with age and starts to break apart and fall out. Even my friend's '91 420SEL with the newer interior has this padding. However, my '89 300SE had what appeared to be a rubberized horsehair padding that stayed together and was very pliable, and at the time I just assumed that all of the newer style interiors from '89 and up came with it, along with the newer leather. What gives? '89 has it but '91 doesn't?
