Topic: Seat Reupholstery

[Reddo17]

Hi All,

I am looking for recommendations for either a replacement seat cover for my K4 or someones who is able to repair the current seat which has a small rip about 100 mm long along the seam.
Preferably in the Newcastle area if possible.

Cheers

How good do you want it to look? I have never seen a tear repaired to look good. Just get a quality seat cover from gumtree on ebay and do it yourself. Not that hard to do it. We can guide you through it.

Hi Johnie,

I am all for attempting the re-cover myself if its possible for sure.
I have had a look for a thread on recovering seats but cant seem to find anything.
Any pointers would be muchly appreciated. Cheers!

I've done it on a couple as well. Yes, Gumtwo on eBay, he's out of Canada I believe. The covers come with instructions but we can get you through it easy enough.

Things to have handy: Pliers, small hammer (just in case), screwdriver, hair dryer.

It really is as simple as removing the old and replacing. Some stretching may be involved (hair dryer to soften). Takes some time but very worth it.

+1 recover it.   Just dont buy the cheapest cover on ebay, they are not all the same

I have done a number of them. If your fingers aren't sore then you did not stretch it hard enough. You want to be sure to get it centered right off the bat then it is a matter of stretching it on evenly.
