Title: Leather Seats
Post by: Oldie05 on January 29, 2022, 02:07:25 pm
Anyone got any recommendations for Leather Seats repair/refurb?
Driver's seat on my '05 has rips/tears on the bolsters and it is only a matter of time before I wear through the seat itself. 180,000 miles and counting. Used as a daily by me and the wife.

Would it not be cheaper to buy used? I’d imagine only the front seats need replacement.

Agreed. Or you could try and get a passenger seat from europe via ebay, which will have the seat belt latch on the correct side.

I have a good condition drivers side coming out at some point soon with no where to store but think I need to keep hold to sell the full interior as a leather set to get a decent price rather than 1 seat now and the rest another time unfortunately mate

Have you got a price in mind for the full interior? Only need driver's seat, but would obvs consider a full interior to get what I need. Mine's a 3-door.

I think last time I checked 400 was how much full leather interior goes for, door cards and arm rest included. I think your better off waiting for a single seat to come up in good condition or getting yours professionally sorted, mine is in good condition but still has 100k miles of bums so not perfect but good. Not looking to sell full lot on just yet either see.
