I got chweing gum on the seat cushion a while back and after dainty removal it lifted the top coat off the leather. After some advice from restorers the only option was to replace the cover. As the car is in great nick any slight wear on the drivers cushion would be eliminated.
Ordered one from the nice dealer with discount £220 +vat. I am sure there was a tear in his glass eye!
Anyways on Sunday I removed the seat and the cushion cover. It took some time to figure out how it was held in but I soon teased it out, undit all the spring clips that keep it tight and transferred the heating elements without disconnecting any wires
It took 4 hour in total and I would have taken some pics but there was too much blood, these edges are very sharp!
It is now fitted and looks great and with 5 fingers with elastoplast I will heal.
My advice is do not get chewing gum on your seats or it looks like you chew your fingers!
If you are going to do this be careful and allow lots of time.
