Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I haven't used this, but I see it on Amazon - actually Amazon in Canada.

+1 Had a similar scenario and a local shop replaced just the section that had the issue. One additional positive is they managed to do it without looking "too new".

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I�m kinda upset. Was told this place I�m at is great and he wants to do entire covers. Idk. Seems a bit much

POST 7Original post

I�ve used Leatherworld Technologies (www.leatherworldtech.com) repair kits with great success. That�s a simple repair you have there - about $90 for the kit� Good luck

POST 8Original post

I previously posted about leathermagic.com, but the recommendation from dporto to use leatherworldtech.com is better. They have the exact Porsche color match and placed my order just 5 minutes ago, so thanks dporto!

POST 9Original post

you could do this yourself with seatdoctors.com seat crack filler and the appropriate porsche leather dye. you just smear the crack filler in, sand it with 600, 800, and 1000 grit sand paper. and then dye it with a sponge and a heat gun. its seriously Like New.

POST 10Original post

I just checked out seatdoctors on your advice and there's another good choice! Great before and after pictures. Thanks, pulpo!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks folks. I�ve got a repair person coming by Tuesday. Was quoted 450$ and 250$ to do bottom bolster that�s a little cracked. $700 for it to look repaired a s similar to your photos works for me. I�m not one to shop around wt mechanical needs and understand these cars need funds to keep happy but nearly 4K for seat covers is above my budget. Having new tires mounted on turbo twist wheels next week and few items addressed. Better to keep some funds available. I�ll post pics when repaired
