    Leather seat repair

    Hi
    The seat belt buckle on the drivers side has mad a real mess out of the leather on the door including a small rip

    Any suggestions on how to repair or would it be best to go to some one.

    You will have an auto restorer in your yellow pages/web. Best ones are involved in historic cars. Find your local car club and speak to the historic section they will be the most reliable source of advice.

    Thanks for the reply

    I am visiting Coffs at the moment and found a local guy who did a great job
    .

    I suppose I could have left till I got home but one was a slight rip and they tend to get worse

    I will have to be a bit more careful with the seat belt

    The guy suggested getting the belt re tensioned.

    That wouldn't be Russell from TrimTech was it? I was thinking of him when I started reading your post.

    Bit of glue/ gunk and a heat gun of sorts and s bit of spray paint I think it was.

    The damage I had was a small rip in the arm rest and dents in the side from the belt buckle

    I have had the dents for awhile but the rip was of more concern. I found a guy who would do it to day so got it done

    It looks ok. You can only notice it if you look hard.
