[W126 Coupe] Seat Leather

[Shayegan, Richard]

I was told $400/seat and yes it would have to come from Germany. Good to
know there are sources though in case they have/when they do run out.

Well, seeing as Mercedes leather is now Very thin I doubt they would
still be providing this leather in it's original 2+mm thickness.  GAHH
is exactly to original factory specs.  MB will also charge you a bloody
arm and a leg if it's still available..I'd also wager colours are going
to be coming up NLA especially for anything out of the ordinary. If they
do have this stuff available I can guarantee it's all going to have to
come from Germany..so figure 1-2 weeks wait @ the minimum..  GAHH
usually has the items ready to go in stock..if not it's just a couple of
days wait.

	Is there a benefit to using GAHH ver factory? Last I heard
(about 1.5 years ago) the dealers could still get them.

	Well, if you have had experience w/ interior work before I'd say
yes...the biggest thing is Time..it takes a good bit of that (along w/ a
hair dryer) to get everything to fit just how you want it..  That and
hog nose pliers take a bit of getting used too.
