Title: Leather repair/removal?
Post by: s3dubbin on December 15, 2012, 05:22:15 pm
Damaged my drivers side arm rest think it must have been a stud on one of my jackets. Any clues on how to remove the leather or repair it would be much appreciated?

Its worth trying one of the kits on ebay (about £25)  :happy2:

There are a few videos on youtube showing the process…..and some funny ones.  :grin:



I emailed a company months ago about my drivers seat. I have a hole in the Love-handle-support-bolster  :laugh: and the lower bolster near my right thigh has lost its shape and flattened.

Co incidentally they got back to me the other day saying

"Carlo I can fix the hole and colour it and bump up your base seat.
Cost would be £120 if you bring it here Broughton DN20 but it would be in the new year now,
Thanks
Jackie."



Im gonna get it done when I get back from Italy in the New Year.  :happy2:

Is my leather classed as grey?? Are you puting your car in and leaving it with them to fix? I will have a scout about on the tube see what i can find.

Thanks for the reply.

This might be a nice cheap fix.

I am in ayrshire, just outside Glasgow. Some of the YouTube vids look quite convincing.

Cheers, Stevie.
