Hi peeps ,
Apologies if this has been covered before but i cant seem to find a thread linked to this so thought I would post up !!
:dnfnoob:
Anyway , it appears the lady who owned my 1996 300tdi discovery before me was a rather large lady and the seat has split, basically i have the xs half leather seats and the cushion / padding has split along the n/s of the base which in turn has torn the seam between the leather and the cloth base, it appears the stretchy elastic underside has totally ripped away which i guess has caused this to happen so she put a cushion on the seat ,to pad out the hole but its god damn uncomfortable on longer runs
Firstly i am more than happy to have a bash at seat retrimming but not so sure my seat cloth is available anymore and also is the elastic underside a seperate part or does it come as part of the seat cloth if that makes sense ??
I did wonder about making a wooden board to fit under the cushion to push it back up then have a go at sewing the trim back together but really not too sure which way to approach this, the only ones I can find breaking locally with spare seats have a totally different seat cloth .
Any thoughts or tips would be gratefully appreciated ....
Thanks
