Drivers seat repair

MKY73 · Oct 22nd, 2020, 11:24

Hi,

I have a 2011 XC70 AWD D5 which is done approx 135,000 and my drivers seat could do with some attention. The seats are leather and I’m looking to have a wear through on the top right side (Where you brush against whilst getting in and out of the car) and the general padding improved.

I live in Northumberland and I wonder if anyone has any recommendations on who to contact close to me?

Thanks

Check whether the "leather" seats are actually all leather. Some builds have leather faced high wear areas while areas which are supposed to get less wear are covered in a very convincing plastic simulated leather.

I know my previous Volvo a V50 had leather faced material. But these are supposed to be leather. How would I find out for certain?

The simulated leather is very well done I struggle to differentiate the panels on my '12 XC70 which has "Leather" seats
