nc_beagle Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 I've searched here every way I can think of and I can't find the fairly recent post someone made about how they repaired the little "bumps" that appear on the 88/89 front seat bottom cushions. I remember it had something to do with a plastic piece under the cushion that maybe the stitching was attached to. Can whomever posted it link me to the post? Thanks!

Mark I didn’t know that there was even a “potential ” fix for that, just assumed that the leather had puckered there, and the sun baked it that way. I’d be interested in that link too.

There are only a few people on here doing that level of restoration, but I'm drawing a blank. It may not even have been a new post--it may have been a reply to another post.

Well, I’d be that guy if I knew that attempting to uncover the bottom cushion would allow me to remedy the weird double bump thing going on in my bottom seat cushion. I’m right on the cusp of either paying to have them custom reupholstered, or replacing them with Corbeaus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was wrong, it wasn't recent, it was an old post I must have stumbled across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc_beagle Posted October 23 Author Report Share Posted October 23 I've considered having my seats recovered or restored and was going to ask the person if this was something they could do. It's probably behind my skills to do it without making it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc_beagle Posted October 24 Author Report Share Posted October 24 Sorry Kev, I actually meant I would ask the auto upholstery guy. But if the OP is near me, that might be a good alternative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably behind my skills to do it without making it worse. The Sun has pretty much had its way with mine. Although nothing is coming apart, the car was parked outside where the sun dried the leather out pretty severely. I have since “invested” in several leather dye/restoration products when/if I decide to try and save them. The bumps are the main reason for not wanting to keep them, but if I can satisfactorily repair that eyesore enough to make it acceptable, maybe I’ll keep them instead. Now that I have a set of instructions though, I will be attempting that repair, and I’d be happy to add the pics and detail the process. ( I’d be more happy if there was actually anybody here besides the few that contribute). Unlike the OP, I am comfortable in my own skin not to have a problem going into a craft store to get the required stuff. 😏 Edited October 25 by Mike7447 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
