3rd row seats.

Anybody knows where to get the ml 3rd row seats, other than the dealer. I was told that the dealers dont sell them anymore. Is it true? I am expecting my third child by Feb. I dont want to get rid of the ml. Any input will be very much appreciated.

Chris

What year is your ML? You should still be able to get them regardless. George (cgeorge430) just bought the kit for his '99 ML430 and actually installed them himself.

dealer should still have them still. If one doesn't sell them...

ask another dealer. Clairparts.com sells them as well. (I was told to ask for Kevin). You're dealer should still have them though.

As noted above, kits are availble for 98 and 99. If you own a 2000 and newer, you will not have the 2nd row fold down for access to the 3rd row.

I believe someone here installed it on a 2000 and newer and using the rear hatch and standard fold down seats to access the back.

"Silver430" and "Sthu" on this board did a self install for their MLs like I did.

Goodluck!

remember...because you have a 2000 model, you will not have the second row tumble seat access.

No tumble down seats - no problem

I have them on my 2000 ML320 (and 3rd row seats) and the kids were just as happy to climb over the backs until they were about 12.[:)]

Thanks again!

cgeorge430,

I saw your install of 3rd row, great work. I hope you dont mind if I ask how much it cost you. I know labor was priceless but was it a kit? I'll be calling the store you referred.

Thanks.[:)]
