Leather Repair

[Orlousy]

I have a few tears on the left side of the driver side seat (wear and tear from getting in and out of the car). Has anyone had repair done or replaced the leather for an entire seat. I have seen seat covers on Ebay and various patching kits, but I want it to look good.

Any suggestions?

leatherique works great but if it is ripped at a seam then you need to replace it unless it is otherwise in good enough condition to save and get restiched.

Seat restoration

It has actually worn out some of the foam underneath. At this point, for it to look good, replacement is my only choice. I had some ripps starting on the seat, so I just got leather glue to stop them going further, but it doesn't make the seat look better, just intact.

If I replace the leather, I would like it to match, I have seen several palce selling replacement leather. Whether I want to patch it, replace the whole seat, or front seats, or the entire car I am not sure...but the cost for installing it is what I am worried about more than the material cost, but of course I don't want to get raped there either.

Thanks for the info..just trying to weigh the cost/benefit of having it done.

IN my Sc i had rips and holes that went all the way through and i bought a kit and repaired them.Came out nice.For big holes and rips they provided me with a thing that looked like a screen that i glue underneath the rip,then and the compund over its it,sand it to smooth it out and then use the paint spray.

Mungrin, how did you find the company that you used to fix your leather problems? I need the same fix, thanks.

Darn it was so long ago.Ill try to remember.They will need ur vin so they can OEM match the color of ur leather.I will look through my records.

Thanks. the seats look like they are brand new, good job! Just an Idea of who I can contact out here in denver would be great!

Mungrin..

If the patch kit worked that is probably the best way for me to go. That would be great if you could find the contact, just post it back here if you can find it.

Thanks!!!!
