At Kartal Auto, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier seat repair and restoration services for luxury cars. Our recent project—repairing the seats of an Aston Martin DB9—allowed us to bring the car’s interior back to its original comfort and style. During the restoration process, we encountered several key issues that required attention. Here’s how we expertly addressed them and restored the seats to their former glory.
Key Issues Identified & Our Expert Solutions
1. Cracked and Worn Leather Upholstery
Issue: The leather upholstery on the seats showed significant signs of cracking, wear, and discoloration due to years of use and sun exposure.
Solution: We replaced the damaged leather with premium Nappa leather, restoring the seats’ original smooth texture and luxurious appearance. To prevent future wear and fading, we applied a UV-resistant treatment that protects the leather from sun damage.
2. Degraded Seat Cushioning
Issue: The seat foam had worn down, resulting in flattened cushioning that compromised the comfort and support of the seats.
Solution: We replaced the worn-out foam with high-density memory foam, ensuring the seats provided optimal support and comfort for long drives. This upgrade gave the seats a firm yet soft feel, enhancing the overall driving experience.
3. Torn & Loose Stitching
Issue: The stitching on the seats had become loose in several areas, leaving visible gaps and compromising the durability of the upholstery.
Solution: We restitched the leather using automotive-grade thread, ensuring the seams were strong and uniform. This restoration ensured that the seats not only looked seamless but also had long-lasting strength and durability.
4. Stains and Scuffs on the Seat Panels
Issue: The seat panels had accumulated scuff marks and stains, detracting from the luxury aesthetic of the interior.
Solution: We performed a deep cleaning and restoration of the leather, using specialized products to remove stains and restore the original color. Afterward, we treated the leather with a protective layer, ensuring that it remained looking pristine for years to come.
5. Malfunctioning Seat Adjustments
Issue: The seat adjustment mechanism was stiff and not functioning smoothly, making it difficult to adjust the seat position.
Solution: We repaired the seat adjustment system, ensuring that the controls were smooth and precise, allowing the driver and passengers to find their ideal seating position with ease.
