Crack on Recaro Seats - Fixable?

[Jimbob 2705]

Found some Recaro Trendlines I'm interested in, but they have a crack in the leather which the seller has ensured me that its not a rip

Can just this section be retrimmed, or would it need to the whole seat? And any ideas what sort of cost?

I know I'm better of asking some seat retrimmers, but it's a Bank Holiday and I was hoping to go see them today...

Cheers

A seat trimmer will be able to restore or if not,replace just that section.

Certainly not a major problem for a seat trimmer.

Mine did this in my megane r26 i sent the seat cover to capital seats as they are a recaro agent and they sorted it

Hi there's no need to retrim.... I had the exact same issue with my 350z leather seat. Wasn't ripped but but had a crack. I used this. Took about an hour to fix it and only £20! Looked as good as new!

I would get the price knocked down as much as possible due to the crack and then fix it yourself. Results are amazing!
