AMG APPLICATIONS
Mercedes parts data specifically lists A2189100646 for CLS63 AMG applications, including 2012–2014 CLS63 AMG and later CLS63 AMG S configurations depending on upholstery specification.
Therefore, this number is particularly useful for buyers looking for replacement upholstery for an AMG / sports specification CLS front seat.
IMPORTANT: Engine size is not the main compatibility factor for this component. The seat design, upholstery specification, colour code and A2189100646 OE number are considerably more important.
RIGHT / DRIVER SEAT INFORMATION
This part is catalogued by Mercedes as:
COVER, DRIVER SEAT CUSHION
For the donor UK RHD vehicle:
Front Right = Driver / O/S
For international buyers, Mercedes seat descriptions can vary according to market and steering configuration, so buyers should primarily compare the OE number, seat shape and upholstery specification.
UPHOLSTERY / COLOUR COMPATIBILITY
Mercedes EPC data shows A2189100646 used with several different ES2 upholstery/colour suffixes.
Documented configurations include:
• Black – 9E43
• Alpaca Grey – 7E80
• Alpaca Grey – 7J95
• Greige – 7M48
• Almond Beige – 8P13
• Silky Beige – 8S06
• Saddle Brown – 8T35
• Classic Red – 3D76
• Designo Porcelain – 1C07
Associated Mercedes interior/upholstery codes include examples such as:
• 201A – Black
• 205A – Almond Beige
• 208A / 211A – Alpaca Grey specifications
• 214A – Saddle Brown
• 215A / 225A – Designo Porcelain configurations
• 218A – Greige
The base number A2189100646 identifies the seat cover design, while the additional colour/trim suffix identifies the exact upholstery finish.
Always compare the colour and stitching with the photographs.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This component is the shaped upholstery covering fitted over the front driver’s lower seat cushion.
The cover is manufactured to follow the contours of the original Mercedes seat padding and seat frame.
Depending on specification, the seat beneath this cover may incorporate:
• Seat cushion foam/padding
• Electric seat adjustment mechanism
• Seat heating elements
• Seat ventilation components where equipped
• Seat occupancy/safety components depending on market
• Seat wiring harness
• Seat adjustment motors
• Memory seat electronics
• Multicontour components where equipped
The cover itself provides the finished seating surface while maintaining the factory appearance and fit around the seat cushion.
SEAT HEATING / VENTILATION INFORMATION
Mercedes EPC lists separate seat heating elements alongside the seat cushion cover.
Therefore, A2189100646 should not automatically be assumed to include the heater element unless it is visibly attached to the item being sold.
Vehicles equipped with:
• Heated seats
• Ventilated seats
• Multicontour seats
• AMG/sports seats
may have additional components underneath the upholstery.
The replacement cover should therefore be matched to the original seat specification.
COMMON REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT
• Driver’s seat leather worn on entry/exit area
• Cracked leather
• Torn seat upholstery
• Split stitching
• Scratched or damaged leather
• Cigarette/burn damage
• Staining or discolouration
• Accident damage
• Damage during seat repair
• Replacement following seat cushion repair
• Interior restoration
• Replacement of heavily worn driver’s seat upholstery
COMMON DRIVER SEAT WEAR
The driver’s lower seat cushion commonly receives significantly more wear than the passenger seat because of repeated vehicle entry and exit.
Typical wear areas include:
• Outer seat bolster
• Front edge of seat cushion
• Stitching
• Leather surface finish
• Areas adjacent to clothing/belt contact
A genuine replacement cover can therefore be useful when the underlying seat frame, padding and adjustment system remain serviceable.
INSTALLATION
The front seat normally needs to be removed or partially dismantled to correctly replace the cushion upholstery.
Installation may involve removing:
• Seat side trims
• Seat adjustment controls
• Upholstery retaining clips
• Hog rings / retaining fasteners
• Seat cushion from frame
• Associated wiring or heating connections
The replacement cover should be carefully tensioned and secured around the original cushion so that the seams and contours sit correctly.
Professional automotive upholstery installation is recommended for the best factory-style finish.
PROGRAMMING / CODING
No programming or coding is required for the leather seat cover itself.
If electrical seat components are disconnected during installation, appropriate vehicle/SRS procedures should be followed.
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE
Mercedes used multiple different front seat covers on the C218/X218 platform, even within the same model year.
Differences can include:
• Standard vs sports/AMG seat design
• Leather type
• Perforated/non-perforated sections
• Stitching pattern
• Heated-seat configuration
• Ventilated-seat configuration
• Multicontour seat specification
• Interior colour
• Designo upholstery
• Production specification
Therefore, please do not purchase solely because your vehicle is a 2011–2018 Mercedes CLS.
Please compare:
OE Number: A2189100646 / A 218 910 06 46
Also compare:
• Seat cushion shape
• Upholstery pattern
• Stitching
• Perforation pattern
• Leather colour
• Interior trim code
• ES2 colour suffix where available
• Mounting/retaining arrangement
• Heated/ventilated seat specification
Matching A2189100646 together with the upholstery colour/specification is the safest compatibility check.
