VOLVO LEATHER SEAT CRACKS!!!!!
 
OK so once again my interior is starting to destroy itself again. When i bought my c70 the leather seats already had the cracks, so I bought those wonderful formulas to fix the leather and have finally come to the conclusion that ITS BEYOND FIXABLE. I have tried about 6 different products and nothing seems to help. I purchased the car and immediately applied tints, but now that the car is going to shows and car meets, and cant have that interior anymore. SO does anyone know were i can purchase the leather for the seats?? I have searched online but only come about with one thing and that is a seat cover which i will never do...So if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it..

Check local upholstery shops near you.

also try katskinz.com or if your handy, take the covers off and have someone who knows how to sew cut the leather apart and make new patterns and provide them with the matterial of your choice. this would be the best option for you if you really want a custom color combo. check my mods and see what i mean about your options.

i haven't done anything to the seats yet, but i was refering to how i'm going about changing my color combo inside. i plan on swapping my seats out for racing seats in a red / black color, but heres the twist.....i'm gonna attempt to retain the factory power seat rails and functions. so basically fuse what the factory seat do to some more sporty and comfy seats.

i just saw something on T.V. that may help. they cleaned the seats with acetone which they say opens up the leather pores really good, then they sprayed some kind of fabric / vinyl dye on them. and to give it that used lether look and knock the gloss off they lightly rubbed the seats with a GRAY scotchbrite pad which is finer than the green or burgandy ones.

i love your c70 man, i always wanted a nice white car to pimp out.
