I found old threads about tears and the flattening from foam missing. But no real solution other than paying high dealership prices. Are there upholstrey shop that can replace the leather to match OEM and re-foam it? Do you have to remove the cushion for them?

Maybe theres other option from an upholstrey shop?

What do you all do or do you live with it?

 

most if not all auto upholstery shops can take care of it for u. theyll charge about $100-130. theyll replace the defective panel. the tsb repair imo is bs.

 

Thats pretty cheap, i need to get mine done in the worst way..

 

How well can shops match OEM? Has anyone done this and can post pictures?

 

 

Im trying to get mine done now, first shop didnt call me back so im on to find another one.. My rip is almost half way down the bolster and the plastic on the hinge is broken.. Cant wait to fix it all..

 

Was it flattening out? Did it get re-foamed?

 

Let me know how it goes and post pics.

 

idk if they refoamed it. doubt it. its on the side so i dont think it would matter. and no flatten anything. theyll have samples for u to look at and jus choose the closest match. no need to be paranoid

 

Mine is flattened out and needs foam, it does matter if its flattened out.. My **** needs botox!!

 

^pics?

 

Yes pics please.

 

I didn't get it done yet.. I will post some when I do, hopefully in the next couple of weeks..
