My Leather split about half a year ago and has recently opened more. Any ideas on how to fix this without taking apart alot of stuff? I was thinkin of have a place that fixs seats look at it. But I thought id show the org first..

 

yeah that happend to me too. But way way worse. Get it fixed while you can!

 

OMG. that color is so 80s.
get a different color for the interior ASAP.

 

lol makin fun of my colors gee thanks... I didnt like it a first but after driving in it for 3 yrs it grew on to me. I think this color is super rare isnt it? ive yet to see another red leather max on org but idk. I wouldnt mind Black but id like to see it in great shape as mine is... except for that tear..

 

I just replaced all my crappy seats,but they were much worse than yours...

I would try a local upholstery shop..

 

Locally we have a man called Dr. Vinyl who could fix it. But try an upholstery shop, or theres always the almighty tape of duct.

 

Mine was the same way,and I just pulled the seat out
took the cover off and started sewing... looks good.
the shop wanted 150 to fix and I did it 4 fidolla.
get some thick thread and a cresent shaped needle.

 

Duct tape is pretty ghetto though. For a temporary fix its ok but I dont know how well it comes of leather but i guess you could try that.

 

don't even think of duct tape. it'll ruin the leather and every pair of pants you sit your filthy **** down with.

the way to fix it is to remove the seat from the car (10 min), remove the seat cover from the seat (30min to 1hr), and restitch the leather. go a couple inches past where the split stops..

 

humm well does anyone have a write up on how to remove the seat and seat cover? or maybe pics?

thanks....

 

Wow, I thought I was the only one with that interior color. But my center console isn't like that. It's a lot smaller. I'd love to have that center console in my car. At least your interior is in A LOT better shape. I have quite a few cracks here and there on the leather, and I have a NASTY crack on the backseat, where your head is. The top there is really dry, no matter what I do, so leather has cracked off. One of these days, I'm going to end up getting all the leather replaced, but I'm going to stick with the same color because I don't feel like sourcing the rest of the interior to match a different color.

 

you wanna fix that interior buy a grenade...

 

yes, it's rare. and there's a good reason for it

 

lol so wat if its ugly .. I would rather have a ugly rare max then an everyday black or tan leather max. I have kinda grew on to it after drivin in it for about 3 yrs. I just wish my seat waz more confortable... Im gonna stop by at Dr. Vinyl tommarow to see a price on it.

 

i guess i can understand how it could grow on you. it is indeed different. i kind of like the red door locks. the only right way to fix it is what matt said. unbolt seat, take out of car, take staples out, take leather off seat, give to mom to re-sew.

 

As fas as I know we have the small center console until 92, not sure, I have the 90SE with the small one and I've seen 91 also, but he have a 93 GXE and that bigger center console it's great for arm rest well that's what I would like to use it for if I had it. Color isn't that bad, true that looks so 80's, but if the owner likes the color and it's in great shape, what else matters!

 

i have full custom black and white interior im selling (front seats and back seats with 4 door panels with white vynil inserts) you would need alot of dye for your panels though lol

 

humm thats interesting I bet that would look amazing in max. do u have some pics and how much are u sellin for?

 

That's right! I love my burgundy interior, although the burgundy cloth is a bit more subdued than burgundy leather....and also probably not as rare. I still love it though

 

get a piece of leather thats about 4 inches larger than the tear, and is as close to the color. push it under the tear and then use contact cement or epoxy glue to close it up as much as you can.

 

loving that burgandy color is like having a ugly kid.
You learn to love it.

Its easy to take the seat out, just 4 bolts.The leather cover
is a little harder but basically just hooks all around the the seat.
I did it and it was my first time,and it was easy,just make sure
you keep the leather straight and keep pulling the thread tight.

 

If you change out your seats, I'll call dibs on them. I have several cracks here and there, and your seats look AMAZING in comparison to mine. And if you decide to change out the whole interior, I call dibs on the center console. Hell, the steering wheel too, if you're changing that.

 

lol i dont know if im gonna change it out. Its flawless no cracks anywere. So I proably just gonna fix it when I get some time.

BTW a leather shop wanted 175 to fix it I told then NO thanks u lol
