Mercedes-Benz Seat Cover Replacement

S-Class Drivers Seat Cover Replacement

Here we have a seat base cover replacement for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This is a commonly requested job at d:class but is rarely showcased across our social media channels. As we are known for our work on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, we get a high volume of enquiries about newer vehicles with split and/or cracked seat covers. For some time, the seat covers were not made with the best materials and would show signs of wear very early on. However, it does appear to have been corrected, with more improved off-the-shelf covers now being available. Other manufacturers also offer seat covers, it is just that from our experience and clientele, Mercedes-Benz requests are more common.

This S-Class has leather seats and Mercedes-Benz sells a like-for-like replacement. As you can see, the leather has weakened between the perforations and has left the seat looking like this. The vehicle is 10 years old, so the foam did not require any additional repairs. The seat and cover were removed, the new cover installed, and a little bit of heat added to ensure the cover fitted as best as possible.


For a perfect-fitting seat cover, we recommend a bespoke retrim; however, these parts from the manufacturer do the job of refreshing and repairing a vehicle's interior back to its former glory.

As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.
