Title: Recaro repair
Post by: ReeceH13 on January 29, 2013, 04:19:18 pm

Hey all,

As title says, My leather recaros are starting to come away at the edge (the black plastic strip that goes all the way around the edge of the seat almost pops in and out of the back of the seat)

Has anyone had this before? Can anyone reccomend a repairer that could do this? (London/Essex/Kent area) The people I've googled have been like  :rolleye: whattttt....

Cheers!

Ask your local VW parts department, they'll know who their body shop are using locally(it will not be in house for stitching repairs) - what you got to lose!

There is a company in Bromley called Cass Brothers (http://www.carseatrepairs.com/). They do a lot of work for the Merc/BMW and other top dealers.

Thanks for your replies.

This is what it looks like... I have been told by a few upholsters that They need to be re-trimmed...
