Upholstry Epic Fail

[TenaciousC]

Hello

My father-in-law has managed to destroy his seat upholstry.

28413

Any ideas about what can be done?

It's a 2005 V70 2.4 with electric seats.

TIA

A good upholsterer will be able to stitch a replacement bolster section I imagine....although it'd be cheaper to buy a second hand seat and fit that.

as Steve says i paid about £80 to get just that section done on one of mine

P2s are bad for this I think

I guess a second hand seat (plus shipping) is going to be a similar price... so I'll make some enquiries with some local upholsterers. Thanks for your help!

Yes well my old 850 (10 years older and twice the mileage) is fine!

P2's need the extra bolstering to keep you in as it rolls-over on the corners lol

Haha you can feel how heavy the front end is on the D5 compared to the R, my seat was burst on the D5 when I bought it, rough £££££££s super glued it together

Tell him to take his utility belt off before he gets in the car, might be a start! :saythat:
