At Kartal Auto, we understand the importance of every detail when it comes to high-performance luxury vehicles like the Aston Martin DBX. Recently, we had the privilege of repairing the seats in this exceptional SUV, and during the process, we encountered several issues that needed expert attention to restore the comfort, functionality, and luxury the DBX is known for. Below, we outline the issues we discovered and the tailored solutions we implemented to bring the seats back to their optimal condition.
Issues found
1. Cracked and Worn Leather Upholstery
Issue: The leather upholstery on the seats showed signs of cracking and wear, particularly in areas subject to frequent use, such as the seat cushions, bolsters, and edges. This not only affected the aesthetic appeal but also diminished the luxurious feel of the interior.
Solution:
- We meticulously cleaned and conditioned the leather to restore its softness and sheen.
- For the cracked and worn areas, we used premium leather restoration techniques, including patching and re-dying the affected sections to seamlessly match the original finish.
- A protective coating was applied to the leather to prevent future cracks, discoloration, and general wear, keeping the seats in pristine condition for the long term.
2. Stretched Seat Covers
Issue: Over time, the seat covers had stretched, resulting in an uneven fit. This not only affected the seat’s appearance but also caused discomfort as the fabric no longer provided the firm, supportive fit needed for a performance-oriented vehicle.
Solution:
- We replaced the stretched seat covers with custom-fit upholstery, specifically tailored for the Aston Martin DBX.
- The new covers were designed to provide a perfect fit that hugged the contours of the seats, improving both comfort and appearance.
- Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, the new seat covers ensure long-lasting support and enhanced luxury.
3. Sagging Seat Cushions
Issue: The seat cushions had started to sag, particularly in the driver and passenger areas, leading to a decrease in comfort and support. This is often caused by the breakdown of the internal padding and foam.
Solution:
- We replaced the sagging foam padding with high-density, ergonomically designed memory foam that restores the original support and comfort of the seats.
- The new padding ensures a plush yet firm seating experience, ideal for both everyday driving and long-distance journeys.
- Additionally, we reinforced the seat cushioning to ensure that it retains its shape and support for years to come.
4. Misaligned Seat Adjustment Mechanism
Issue: The seat adjustment mechanism had become misaligned, causing the seat to move unevenly or fail to adjust properly. This made it difficult for the driver and passengers to find their ideal seating position.
Solution:
- We realigned the seat tracks and repaired any damaged or worn components within the seat adjustment system to restore smooth and precise functionality.
- Lubricated and calibrated the mechanisms to ensure that all adjustments, including seat height, angle, and lumbar support, functioned seamlessly.
- Replaced any damaged motors or components to ensure long-term reliability and easy adjustability.
5. Worn Seat Bolsters
Issue: The bolsters, which provide lateral support, showed significant wear, especially on the driver’s side. These areas were prone to scuffing and damage due to the constant pressure applied during driving.
Solution:
- We reinforced the bolsters by repairing any damaged areas and reupholstering them with high-quality leather.
- To ensure enhanced durability, we added extra padding to the bolsters for additional comfort and support while also making them more resistant to wear and tear.
- The bolsters were stitched with reinforced thread to ensure they maintain their structural integrity, even with frequent use.
