White Leather Seat Repair

BigJack75 · 03-10-2019, 06:58 PM

I have white leather seats in my F36. The drivers side is starting to show signs of wear. There are creases in the leather and the dye is wearing a little. I would like to either find a kit that I can do at home or take it some where. Has anyone restored their leather seats? Lots of youtube videos but they are not not BMW's. I've only seen shitty cars that would look better no matter what you do to them.

You'll be much happier with the results having a professional spray-dye the seat. Fibrenew is one outfit that does this type on work, but your local top of the line detailer or premium used car dealer probably has a contact for you.

I have used Fibrenew to fix leather seats that had tears, snags creases and to restore the leather. Have never been disappointed and have recommended them to my friends. Check out there web site.

Great DIY products - I've used in multiple cars. Call them to get color code match and right set for your car (easier than figuring it out on your own).

The silver leather in my E46 looks brand new after a bolster repair.

Have the same issue even being extra careful since I got the car about 2 years ago. The driver side bottom seat bolster is wearing out. I knew what I was getting with the Dakota leather but I didn't know it would be this poor. The material has pretty much lost the leather pebble/fibre and it's looks like plastic coating and its cracking.

If I plan on keeping the car after the lease, I might replace the leather but right now looking for something to cover the cracking.
