There was a big cut on my seat, and restoration fixed it. So far, I don’t have any issues and my seat still looks perfect except some small stretches.

Richey, the repair area still same but I have some more damaged on other sits,

Well planned and produced video on a topic of interest to anyone who drives the same car for more than 4 or 5 years, or who buys used, older vehicles, many of which have rips and tears in the driver's seat. Thanks for making this. The detailed instructions are great!. P.S. I'd recommend cleaning the entire seat bottom with the detailing brush & cleaning solution, so that the repaired area would not stand out because it was cleaner than the surrounding area. Takes only minutes more, and you have to wait 4 hours for the seat to dry anyway. Particularly liked your technique for putting the ventilation holes in the patch to match the surrounding area.

It would have came out a lot better if you would not have cut the material but just loose strings, put that backing under trim and super glued the tear back together, put the resin over the cut with would be very small if done this way. Painted over the damaged area and then used some very fine sand paper to smooth it out. That is the way repairs are done by the manufacture.

Dude just in the last few days alone I've watched like 5 of your videos. I had to replace a fuel filter and clean my fuel injectors and you had awesome straight to the point without leaving anything out on those. I can see you stick to the same formula for other videos including this one. Much appreciated. Where you from brotha? Eastern Europe, Middle East?

“Only when you get close you can see the repair” Me from 10 feet away: Boi how much Taco Bell did you eat to tear through the seat like that?

Cool. I have a hole the size of a small felt pen and it's a leather seat cushion it's not that big though. but wondering when you put the resin on top of it will it reinforce the hole from tearing overtime?

It will stop from the hole getting bigger at least. or you could go on Ebay and spend 500$ on a seat.

Yeah I have a tear just like that one and a repair place wants to charge like 900 for it so no thanks this’ll be just fine

If those seats were just maintained and cleaned and polished on a regular basis they wouldn’t tear like that. I’m sure those surfaces fissures are just due to drying of the leather, making it weak. A leather conditioner would do wonders on those seats. Sources: Owned two cars with leather seats, both in immaculate condition

Thank you so much for this information! My mom has a Benz and the seats are like this. My brother was driving it for a while and the driver seat and arm rests are ruined! We had been thinking that it was because of how he always leaned back in the seat, but it could very well be that he didn't get the car detailed and the seats conditioned. I took it for an estimate and was quoted over 1k to have it fixed. Maybe I can find someone to do this instead.... just hope the outcome is as good.

Horrible how this repair is done! So obvious! Can't anyone do a good job so its NOT visible so badly?
