Problem: The seat adjustment mechanisms of the Mercedes-Benz GL (X164/X166) use a gear drive. Most often, one main gear breaks, but due to misalignment or plastic debris getting into the teeth, the neighboring gears of the set are also damaged. Mercedes dealers do not sell these parts separately, offering only replacement of the expensive electric drive or the entire seat frame.
Solution: This digital product includes a complete set of 3 3D models of seat gears. This kit allows you to carry out a comprehensive repair of the unit, replacing all worn elements at once, which guarantees long and quiet operation of the adjustment mechanism.
Technical characteristics of the kit:
Compatibility: Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (X164, X166), ML-Class (W164, W166), R-Class (W251).
Set contents: 3 unique 3D models (main drive gear and associated gearbox gears).
Purpose: Complete restoration of the drive for longitudinal movement (back and forth) or height adjustment.
File format: STL (high precision profile of each tooth).
3D Printing Recommendations:
Because gears work in pairs, strength and surface smoothness are critical:
Material: Nylon, PA6-CF or POM recommended. These materials work best in friction pairs. ABS or PETG are acceptable for temporary repairs.
Fill: 100% (Solid) for all three parts.
Layer height: 0.1 mm (required for proper engagement of small teeth).
Installation: Thoroughly clean the gear housing of old grease and plastic fragments. Use new silicone or lithium grease.
Benefits:
Comprehensive repair: You restore the entire unit, excluding repeated breakdowns.
Savings: One file allows you to print an unlimited number of repair kits.
Perfect fit: The geometry of all three gears is adjusted to work synchronously without backlash.
