Terrible title i know, moderator feel free to edit.

Here's why I'm posting. I've been chasing the wear with tear that comes from use + age on my Oatmeal (AGD) leather interior for a bit now. I've lost count of how many times I've looked at a seam starting to split on a seat and thought "yeah even I could probably sew it, but where to start, how to mirror factory original design?

Well good news, I found a used seat cover in perfect condition. Just got it in the mail today. The seams are sewed a bit differently than I expected, but the purpose of this post is to ask/offer:

Are there any photos of this I can take for you before I install it? Just ask, but please be specific, and I'll be glad to help.

Here's a video of someone restoring and recovering the seats. Hope this helps.

Good video but the fitting of the cover would have been easier if he had sprayed the foam with silicone spray ( not WD 40)...thats what the pros do to help the cover fit easy.

 

Thanks Pistonbroke!
