The back of my sets are metal? eBay has seat covers for smarts don't see why one for the front of the seat would not go on the back

I probably didn't explain the problem clearly. There is a metal frame but it's an open frame covered with leatherlike material so any weight on it when the seat back if folded down will cause the leather/or other material to stretch and eventually tear. I don't want to have to put anything cumbersome like a large piece of wood across the back of the seat because I want to be able to quickly fold the seat back in order to make it comfy for anyone who wants to ride with me (Gunther would obviously have to stay home during my dates). This big guy will have to lay in sort of an "L" shape taking the cargo area and the folded forward passenger seat.

None of the seat covers on ebay or JC Whitney have any reinforcing or solid material that will support his weight enough

Ahhhh i have a 450 and the back of the seat in them is made of metal its a solid back to the seat that when folded down can be used as a table. i wondered why you were having a problem. have you asked mercedes benz if they have a solution? i would be amazed if they have not worked out a way to get money out of us in the after sales market lol. failing that could you get a car customiser to make something especially for your car? sorry i cant help. didnt know the newer models had different seat backs :-(
