As per title driver seat in my c30 is disintegrating what are my options? I have se model with bog standard seats fabric in the middle and that t-tec or whatever its called and the rip is on that t-tec thing.
I was thinking about buying second hand set but the only reasonably priced doesn’t have heated seats option which have so can i change just covers or is it too much hassle?
What about repairing it?
thanks guys

There are loads of sets of seat for sale on eBay! You could get a full leather set for a couple of hundred. Pound, or there is a red and black cloth looking set on there at the moment, very good price!

The reasonably priced set is actually the red and black one but front seats are not heated so i was wondering if i can change just covers as i have heated front seats? I would love black leather but prices are starting from 500 up and i can spend 300 max. thank you for your reply

I had the same trouble on my C30. You can buy a seat cover from Volvo I think it was about £120.

That sounds like a plan was it difficult to swap it?

I don't know, I cheated I'm afraid. The unit next door to work was a bodyshop so I got them to do it for me. They had the car for just over an hour and they said it was easy but...

How bad is the tear? I had a small rip on my t-tec and used a type of glue used to repair waders to repair it. It's not perfect but has definately made it less noticable and it doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Only cost a tenner too.
