Nicve work !
What is the name of this black dye? Is it the same as my e82 black seats?
So is the sensatec actually less durable than leather or would it happen to leather anyway? The basic leather in our older bmws gets worn down pretty badly anyway.
Nice video, but remember to remove your cap next time.
my 128i has the classic "double rip" in the driver's side bolster.
Hello I need your help. I have a tear on the left side of my driver's leather seat on my 2015 ford Escape.i am wondering in addition to the repair if I need to remove the coushin as well. None the less is there someone j can speak with my phone so I can send pictures so you can see what needs to be repaired and all the supplies I would need? Thank you.

Looking to buy your kit and have a few questions is there a way I can contact you?
A lot of work!! Easier buying a replacement second hand seat by the time you spend all that time and money on the refurb kit!!
The state vehicles inspectors cut 3 slits (1 inch long each) on my BMW’s vinyl dash when they removed they replaced the annual inspection stickers.
The cuts are located right where the dash meets the windshield so it’s not accessible for anything beyond a putty knife and fingers. Can the glue compound harden with the sun’s heat?
