The front seat upholstery repair on a 1996 Saab 900 (should be very similar
on other Saabs too). The previous owner left a huge tear on a side bolster,
and the condition of the seat back in whole wasn't the best, so it seemed
like a good idea to reskin it. We used fabric instead of leather to provide
superior back support during the club's driving events. It is possible to
pull the upholstery while the seat is in the car, but it's much easier if
you remove the seat
first.
Tools and supplies:
- two pairs of strong needle nose pliers: to bend the staples;
- long flat screwdriver: to remove the headrest sleeves and lumbar knob;
- upholstery fabric and thread;
- soft foam backing of fiber-fill;
- general sewing supplies.
