Miata seat leather repair/redye

[Bob_MX5]

Hey guys,

I've spent the better part of the last 4 weeks repairing and redyeing my 95M's leather seats. I posted a long thread over on miata.net but thought I might share here too for those that don't get to M.net very often.

Really looks nice. Will be interested in how the repair wears.

Holy mother of...that's amazing! What sorcery is this?

Fantastic job! That is amazing.

I REALLY like trickyrix's 95M replacement seatcovers from leatherseats.com. IMO they look better and appear better quality than OEM. They aren't cheap though.

Hey trickyrix, this post should motivate you to put some conditioner on your seats! :)

I don't know how long they'll look this great...usage dependent of course. But I do know that they will not deteriorate to pre-repair condition for many, many years. Plus, the cost is only a fraction of the cost of replacement seats or covers.


Cheers

The repair looks really good, but I do wonder how long it will last. When I replaced my seat covers, I realized how cheap the OEM material was. It's basically a painted finish, and the leather itself is paper-thin.
