Default Stripped, repaired and cleaned the RECARO's

I love a challenge, so decided to repair the small crack in the passenger seat back shell. It meant taking the seat apart and then rebuilding.

While I was at it I washed the seat cover. I should have done a how to but if anyone wants to know how drop me a PM

Here's some pics.

Harness guides out. And start stripping the cover off.



Now the gimp mask!



Foam bolster somes off.



Remove the rear shell.





Crack repaired, Wash cover, replace when damp and reassemble.

And finally.

Not being a weed, they are very supportive. They have th airbag lumbar support and this helps as well.

I am now considering having the shells Carbon wrapped.

What do you think?
