Pube Member 159 Member For: 18y 1m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 23/07/08 10:46 AM Share Posted 23/07/08 10:46 AM I noticed today that my drivers seat base side support (or whatever its called) is starting look get a bit sad. Not too bad yet, just a bit stretched and creased caused when you get in and out of the car. The car has done about 45 000k's and I feel I look after her pretty well. When I first noticed the side support creasing, I made sure I lifted myself in/out of the seat when getting in/out of the car rather than dragging my legs over the side support where most of the damage is caused. However that was about 10,000k's ago and Ive noticed the leather has stretched a bit and is only going to get worse. Has anyone got this part repaired and is it a big deal? Its ok for now, just a bit of info on what to look forward to Just to add, every 6 months or so I use leather conditioner on the seats, plus she is garaged when possible.

I take it a car upholstry place would be the best place to get it repadded and leather restitched/replaced?
