Repair of a DC5 Drivers recaro seat

[Foxy red]

Hi

Sorry if this has been answered before (did a search for similar posts and didn't find anything).

How do you repair the Drivers recaro (i.e., where the bolster foam has gone and the suede has been rubbed down and a hole has appeared)

Is this something that can be done yourself, or is there a good place to go proffesionally?

Also, how much would I be looking at for a repair?

Thanks for your help

Theres a link on that thread for how to do it on DC2 recaros. They are not identical seats but very close, might help.

It can be done Nat

Search on the DC5 forum as there is a guide on there iirc.

The replacement bolster can be bought through Capital Seating, I think it's a fiddly job, but I'm sure Ben can do it if you fuel him with sarnies & tea

I'm sure this is the part: clicky

Lee- the foam looks like a good idea and you can get the replacement cover too

Harv- Thanks for the link on the how to. Nick is coming over to stay at ours this week- so i'll run it past him as well.

Harv- Thanks for the link on the how to. Did you find out where to get replacement fabric?. Nick is coming over to stay at ours this week- so i'll run it past him as well.

I got the Replacement Bolster and the fabric from Capital seating. I emailed them telling them exactly what I wanted and they got back to me with the links for the exact parts 8)
