Advice on repairing torn leather seats

Someone has decided to use the rear seat pocket to help them exit my car. The result is that the leather has been pulled out of the seat frame and now has a rip in it. Any idea who the best people to fix it would be?

Thanks,

Tim

Try a respected upholsterer - a lot of household furniture is covered with leather and a good upholsterer should be familiar with repair work.

Check your Yellow Pages for "coach trimmers" or "car & commercial trimmers and upholsterers".

If you get no luck with local trimmers...

Ask the guys that do the 'smart repairs' in your nearst British Car auctions.

Or the upholsterers that repair things for DFS/other big furniture stores, close by.

This has came up before in the forum and my suggestion then, based on real life experience, was to contact your local undertaker and ask then who they use for leather repairs in their limos. I did this and got referred to a specialist who repaired the half leather in a 306 Meridian perfectly.
