Kartal Auto is proud to have recently completed an extensive seat repair restoration on the prestigious Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. This vehicle is known for its remarkable performance and luxurious interior, but like any high-performance machine, it requires ongoing care to maintain its flawless design and comfort. During our seat repair job, our skilled technicians identified several issues that needed attention to ensure the seats were restored to their original state. Below, we detail the problems found and the tailored solutions we provided to bring the seats back to perfection.
Issue found
1. Cracked and Worn Leather Upholstery
Issue:
The leather upholstery on the seats, particularly the driver’s seat, had become cracked and worn over time due to constant use. The leather had faded and lost its supple feel, making the seats less comfortable and aesthetically appealing.
Solution:
Our team began by carefully cleaning and reconditioning the leather to remove dirt and oils that had accumulated over time. We then used a custom leather dye to match the original color, effectively restoring the rich appearance of the leather. For areas with deeper cracks, we replaced the worn sections of the upholstery with premium leather, ensuring a seamless transition and maintaining the luxurious feel. Finally, we applied a protective coating to shield the leather from further damage and preserve its longevity.
2. Seat Cushion Deformation and Sagging
Issue:
The seat cushions had begun to sag and lose their structural integrity, leading to discomfort while sitting. Over time, the foam inside the cushions had become compressed and uneven, affecting both the look and feel of the seats.
Solution:
We disassembled the seats to access the foam cushioning. After assessing the condition, we replaced the old, compressed foam with high-quality, high-density foam that matched the original specifications. The new foam was custom-shaped to restore the seat’s ergonomic form and comfort. Once the cushions were reassembled, we ensured the seat provided a firm and supportive base, enhancing the driving experience.
3. Damaged Seat Bolsters
Issue:
The seat bolsters, which provide side support, had become damaged, particularly on the driver’s side. This was caused by frequent ingress and egress, resulting in the leather being stretched and torn in certain areas.
Solution:
We carefully repaired and reupholstered the damaged bolsters, replacing the worn leather with new, custom-fitted material. To prevent further wear, we reinforced the bolsters with additional padding for extra durability. The seat now provides superior side support without compromising the luxury aesthetic.
4. Misaligned Seat Adjustments
Issue:
The seat adjustment mechanism, which allows for precise positioning of the seat, had become misaligned in some areas. This misalignment caused difficulty in adjusting the seat to the preferred position, leading to frustration for the driver and passengers.
Solution:
We thoroughly inspected the seat adjustment mechanisms, including the motors, tracks, and electrical connections. After diagnosing the issue, we realigned the seat mechanism and replaced any damaged components with OEM-grade parts. The seat adjustment is now smooth and responsive, allowing for effortless customization of seat position.
5. Faulty Heating and Cooling Functions
Issue:
The heated and cooled seat functions were no longer working properly, which is a critical feature for comfort in both hot and cold conditions. The heating elements were intermittently failing, and the cooling system was not functioning at all.
Solution:
We carefully inspected the heating and cooling components of the seats. After identifying the faulty wires and connections, we replaced the heating elements with new, high-quality parts. We also ensured that the cooling system was properly recharged and that all electrical connections were secure. The seat functions were restored to their full capacity, providing consistent heating and cooling for an optimal experience.
