Hey guys, i recently bought used leather seats and they are worn at one place:



any *not too costly* tips to repair that? I know there are shops that can retint them...but probly theyll want to tint everything (and i expect that to cost too much for what i want)

TIA

reconditioning seats is not gonna come at a cheap price....shop arond at a couple reupolstry shops and see what they can do for you...you might find a good price where they can redo just that little bit....then go out and buy some leather conditioner and rub that into your seat real good

***where did you get them BTW? i have been looking for a leather interior forever now

>

that is what i had planned already...but thx for your inputs

i got them from a 6gc member who totalled his car recently (mneal2_92788)

my uncle who works as a toyota technician says they repair leather covers at the dealership, not sure how they do it but they can.

also, my sister boyfriend's grandpa runs a small leather surgery business. not sure if there is a location like that near you, but you might want to take a look around if such a place exists locally.

hey bud, well, i dont know how to recondtion them but i hope they work out well for you!

Hey, auto upholstery is what I do to pay the rent. I would recommend you get those two outside panels replaced. Where I am , we would charge around $150.00- $200.00 american dollars. re-tinting , or dying leather just doesn't hold up or look as good as replacement. It's fine short term, if you're looking to dress it up to sell though. Good luck!

there alrdy is a sticky about how to redo ur upholstry. check it out.
