Upholstry Epic Fail

Hello

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

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!

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
