Stupid Question But I'm Asking Anyway.....
1987 Mercedes 300SDL Super Turbo Restore/Project
Even though they are both W126's.... Will the seats from a 1984 380SEL fit in a 1987 300SDL without any wiring modifications on the electrical components? I haven't pulled the seats from my SDL yet, and I dont really want to yank them if its not a direct plug and play electrically. Thanks in advance to those who answer my stupid question.

Well to answer my own stupid question..... Yes it does fit and no it is not plug and play. I had to modify a few of the connectors and change out all the electrical components from my old seat to the new seat. It was a royal pain in the ass but hey now I have a comfy new seat :-)

11-24-2013, 12:40 AM #4For future reference, I upgraded the seats in my '87 300D with some from a '93 400E (or maybe 300E) and had to swap out the bottom brackets/motor ass'y from my old ones onto the new ones...there is likely a way to make the new ones fit but several connectors were significantly different (and more wires total, maybe seat heaters?) Anyway, after the bracket swap, all was well...
