Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN RE-POSTED FROM MY SEASON 3 ON /DRIVE. I will be reposting all of my season 3 videos on my own channel.
We discuss the options for a quick repair vs complete removing and installing new seat material. Take a look at the process of replacing your leather or suede and decide if its the right choice for you. This particular car is a Chevrolet Impala SS.

This is really fabulous craftsmanship. What an amazing transformation. Thanks for the video it was encouraging to see that craftsmanship has not died.
The problem with this is the outside edges look old compare to the centers. Just reupholster the whole thing. It's the most professional thing to do.

The seat is the thing the cover goes on just so you know. Seat repair can remake the entire cover and it's still the same seat.

bought a steamer a few months ago to clean my interior among other things. now I FEEL SO LEARNED!!!
that was seriously fascinating
Why are ur vids so entertaining to watch? Good job man keep up the cool work and educating us
As always, your videos are awesome Larry.
I've been waiting for this video forever, thank you!
how long after the seats came out before your ocd kicked in and you had to at least vacuum the interior?
Awesome video! I refurbished some Recaros and I regret i didn't know about the steaming of the foam. Now it's imbeded in my brain!
7:38 Do that damn steering wheel!
Totally amazing and cleaning and repairing interior seats 👍🏼
At the end of the video, when you're sitting on your non-seat, you look like a freak'n child have way too much damned fun. The paint and restoration service you do is just a job, and I sense you understand its your job even though I also sense that you're very passionate about that job. But the passion you show when working on the paint comes no where near the passion I see in this video. I have the same kind of feeling when I look at any of my cars (Except the Mazda I had) in photo or when I drive my Impala. Excellent videos back then, and today. Keep it up Larry!
very cool Larry, your car looks awesome.
Very nice work.
You should make a video about repairing or replacing steering wheel leather!
Great video Larry! Keep up the good job mate.
I think you confused repair with replace...

@6:25 Larry looks so impressed!
I just had 2 panels replaced.on my drivers side seat the part closet to the door. it vinyl and it costs $125.00. It's a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and I am selling the vehicle. It look so.much better with the repair. The vinyl started to Crack about 16 months ago. you c I understand see the foam starting to show. it has leather in the middle. that wore well. The guy that did the service said if it was leather it would have been an extra $75.00. I believe it was worth the money.

Love those Impalas.
Love your videos. Keep it up mate :)
Good vid and explanation thanks a lot , now I know where to go )
Excellent video! Starting at 7:49, the host looks like Lucas McCain.
That was very noticeable and easy technique.
I never knew you could steam foam like that! That's insane!
Awesome I love this
That's amazing!!!
It appears that old man didn't wanted to take any of Larrys shit 😂😂😂
Nice video, i have a question because i seen some companies selling alcantera steering wheel covers that you have to sew in place over your stock steering wheel. It will be ni if you can show us something about that like a DIY project and the correct way to do it. Thanks nice channel.
Very interesting
I recommend watching sweet project cars for easy ways to fix leather seats for cheap!!
I was curious if you could do a detailing video or multiple of different videos on how to clean different leather on bmw seats e.g Merino Leather, Nappa Leather, Dakota/Nevada Leather. I'm sure you have to be more gentle with some.
YEEAAHHH!!! Scoresman, gotta tattoo.
Larry when will you reupload the Freedom One detailing video?
hey Larry did you reupholstered the back seats as well to match the fronts?
6 video in one shot? Information over LOAD>>
Hey Larry, did that happen to be you coming off the Northern State onto 347 yesterday afternoon? I swear I saw your 964.
Any insights as to how to repair perforated (and seemingly very thin) leather seat rip? My two 125ib GS/Rotty mix pups punctured the 3rd row seat in my 2014 Escalade ESV (even though I have the 3rd row seats wearing canvas seat covers)? Thank you for any perspectives shared
Hi Larry, I live in Pawcatuck Connecticut. Not far from Danbury. I'm curious as too how much Just the Seat Repair costed you? I'd love to have some Custom leather work done to my Jeep ! Great video! Keep it up man!
I was scared there for a minute, I thought he was only doing the drivers seat and not the passengers. My OCD was about to go crazy. Luckily people know what they are doing. Great video by the way, really enjoyed it.
what did this job run you? For the seats and custom floor mats?
lol dude was like this is advertising...we are going to advertise our business regardless of what car it's going in...good job
i am looking to get this done for my seats as well. how much did it cost you?
rly insane but as u are giving shoutout to company like this for example and ppls came on their website and website design is as from 1990 makes me sad :/ ...they deserve more attention
Any suggestions on removing black marks from red leather? I bought a Jag XFR with red and black leather interior. The previous owner put a baby seat in back(is my guess) and it left black marks. I tried to remove with some of your previous tips but the red comes off on my rag. I paused on the work to ask for some advice, I've never worked on red leather before.
Thumbs up for Diesel.
This is called upholstery right ? Can I get this done at a regular upholstery place or do I have to go to a specific place for autos
Compared to the work in their shop, those seats look just ok.
More of a replacement than a repair really? Still a great watch as always! Even having seen it on drive before. Could watch your vids all day👍🏼
What is that type of stick pattern design called? I really want that for my seat
How to fix leather.? Replace it. Thanks.
When we get more of Impala? :)
Any ideas on black leather car seat the had Lysol cleaner leak on it overnight? It balled up some of the finish and left a green stain. Looks awful. Car is an Avalon

I hate working with leather refuse to work with it. Once I hit them with price vinyl is way to go. You have to by half hide and comes with ton scratches, rips, defects, cow ranch brands. Top covers you heat gun tiny bit then roll them on or off. I spray the foam down with Pam cooking spray. All upholstery is stress, scratching paint jobs, looking for exact fabrics and seats are Razer sharp to touch. Not mention breaking bezels and throwing airbag codes.

And here I thought duct tape in the inside of the tear was all I needed...
you should change video title form how to fi to how to make new one... there a lot of difrence
Should have left it original, but that would have been more effort.

Ibrahim Mammadzada what do you mean? The original covers were put back on, with the original pulls .
No offence stock seats looked better
you go in to get the leather fixed on one chair,you get a fabric replacement on all seats ! expensive and not what you set out to do! Dont get it!
Yeh gotta go with pretty useless video .. keeping the title in mind ofcourse. If i had my car go in for a repair on a seat and i d have that diamond stitching on my seat upon pickup he d be in alot of trouble XD
Stop calling vinyl what it isnt....leather. Vinyl is simulated leather made of PLASTIC. leather is animal hide which is much more durable. They call vinyl leather to give a sense of quality so you'll pay more.
First!
