Hi All,
Has anybody had any experience with reupholstering leather car seats with brand new leather? I have been offered a very good deal to get mine done. The problem is that the seats I have aren't that bad now - no major cracks or tears, etc. and every other photo of reupholstered seats I've seen, the shape is not quite right. The new leather always looks amazing, but the shape of the whole seat just doesn't look quite right to my eye. Any pics? I have terracotta leather for what it's worth.
Have you got any photos of what they currently look like? And if as you say they look ok now a decent car trimmer maybe could clean them up and maybe give them a re-colour? Knowing your starting point will help
I think I know what you mean. I see photos of cars for sale sometimes and the seats look “puffy” compared to factory ones. Was never sure if it’s intended, hard to do otherwise, or a sign of something not being done quite right?
I'll try and upload some pics later, Marty.
Yes - JWM. "Puffy" is a good way to describe it. Also some of the piping/stitching around the perimeter can look a little off and distort the shape of the head rest and other sections. The leather is always very nice but like for some reason you can always seem to tell it's not factory. It's an okay compromise if you were overhauling the entire interior, but just concerned it will look a little out of place.
That's what I thought too. I'm also wary of getting them reupholstered in case it alters how they feel. These seats are legit the most comfortable seats I've ever had in any car and I've had a lot of seat time in car seats over the years with many cars - I'm a sales rep so do lots of driving.
