How to Fix a Leather Seat Properly: Chevy Impala SS

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
