Leather Upgrade/Elec Windows

[tommy k]

Just got a Leather Interior from an Elite including door cards and rear window regulators and looms to convert my manual rears to electric, all for just £200, downside is that I need to retrim my rear seats coz the leathers are from a saloon and they are going into a hatch, OK I can deal with that, the area in which I need help is that the fronts were twisted by flying rear passengers and will need repairing or having the frames changed, anyone got any experience in repairing or replacing frames and cushions?
PS, Local breakers to me have 3.2 GSI heavy frontal and Elite minus Leather for breaking.

you could build up the seats on your frames.. which frame is it thats bent.. squab or backrest?...

any decent car trimmer will be able to strip and reupholster your seats again for you ..

Aww Man! Saloon interiors are like rocking horse doo doo and you have one. Boo Hoo Hoo. Nice catch though!

Not too sure as to extent of the twist as haven't had a good look yet, was just concerned with getting them off the scrappy at the steal of a price (Ball Breakers), me and my lad are going to have a go at stripping them down to see if he can repair them (forgot to mention that it helps to have a son that is a panel beater for "Lookers Vauxhall", handy eh!).

OK its in, looks good, only problem is my airbag warning light is now on,- any ideas

I've had my seats out and the airbag light comes on, but it did go out when everything was back together again..Check to make sure all your connections are good. Did you leave the side airbags from the new seats in or replace them with your old ones?
