How do they do the retrim?

I guess it involves dismantling the seat, does the front seat backs pull over the tops and then it's just a matter of stitching the bottoms and the bottoms pull over and held in place.


Sorry for the complex question. I'm thinking maybe you mate can do DIY kits if it's easy enough.

Making it sound much more simple than what it really is the old cover is taken off, if this is not needed anymore all the stitching is cut out the panels are then used as templates to cut the leather they are then stiched together and u have your seat cover simple!!!!

If you know what your doin!!

But if he's done a recaro seat from a vauxhall already then he could have a set of templates to cut from. Cut the material and stitch but leave the bottom open so the new cover replaces the old one. Then just sew the opening up when finished? Or do they sew other places as well during fitting?

I meant you'd have to split the back of the seat from the base (ie the bit your but rest on).
