GS rear seat 'filler'

[Woody]

Hi chaps,

I have a recollection that you can get proper seat 'fillers'for the rear seats of a GS, to fill in the bucket seat. Does anyone know what these are called and where you get them from? The ones I remember seeing were in the Britex fabric (tech cloth) but I would like to know if they're factory fit or if they're bespoke.

I want to get them so a baby seat can fit nicely in the rear....they may not be needed, but I was told they would be.

Cheers
Woody

can you not chuck a couch cushion on the seat to level it up? I'd be surprised if there was a tailor made piece to do this

Seem to remember they were produced for the Australian market. Buy one there and ship back?

Only showing as fitting the Coupe and for the Aussie market as BB says???!?

Worth asking Eurospares the question.This was discussed on the dark side a few years ago I think and I'm sure the part was over £300 IIRC.

****, a £300 cushion! i know accesories and parts for these cars command a premium, but a £300 cushion?

Take a trip to your local tailor. There must be a market for UK produced accessories for these cars.

Hmmmmmm ****new business idea****

Woody, have a chat to D:Class who would hopefully make one up for less than that. D:Class are a specialist car upholsterer very well regarded on Merc forums.

I've always used a few scatter cushions and a towel on top for the inevitable mess that usually follows!

Thanks for the repsones chaps. I'm not sure if I'll NEED them, but it would be nice.

Adam, that'd be good, just out of curiousoty. Do you have them then?

If you want something firm to mount the child seat on, if you buy a booster seat (for an older child) take the little arms off, turn it upside down and plonk it in the seat recess, you should have a cheap, firm base for the child seat.
