I got a tear starting in my back leatherette seat cover and I will try her process,
the only problem is getting her recommended adhesive, it can only be got on ebay from the states (11Euro incl P+P).


Anyway after watching a few utube videos she seems to be the best and I will post a few
Before and After photos of my own seat tear when the adhesive arrives in a few weeks time.

I just get mine done by the lads in Streamline here in Drog,they do a saloon car for €280(might be even less) very hard wearing with piping around the edges,any repairs they do they replace the entire piece for little coin.

Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video!

No worries Watty, my seat cover is not fully torn yet,

but it is heading in the wrong direction and unlikely to pass next suitability.

I have the flexible glue ordered and will post pictures when done.

I did or rather me Chungwan did all the necessary repair work on the seat cover laying down the denim patch underneath and applying the correct glue in the correct way, the photos don't really do it justice as with the flash on it shows every flaw and also the white spots on the seats were from the snow which fell in when I opened the door.
Overall she did a great job and that was a few weeks ago and many hundreds of bums have been through that seat since.

[Belker]

Granted it looks a bit Naff UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT but it is rock solid and I have no doubt about it passing suitability.

[mercenary for hire]

I'd be surprised if that passed suitability Belker.With the money yer making you could have easily gotten the back seat redone completely for a little extra.I mean it's not even real leather you're repairing.
