Mercedes-Benz Seat Cover Replacement

S-Class Drivers Seat Cover Replacement

Here we have a seat base cover replacement for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This is a commonly requested job at d:class but is rarely showcased across our social media channels. As we are known for our work on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, we get a high volume of enquiries about newer vehicles with split and/or cracked seat covers. For some time, the seat covers were not made with the best materials and would show signs of wear very early on. However, it does appear to have been corrected, with more improved off-the-shelf covers now being available. Other manufacturers also offer seat covers, it is just that from our experience and clientele, Mercedes-Benz requests are more common.

This S-Class has leather seats and Mercedes-Benz sells a like-for-like replacement. As you can see, the leather has weakened between the perforations and has left the seat looking like this. The vehicle is 10 years old, so the foam did not require any additional repairs. The seat and cover were removed, the new cover installed, and a little bit of heat added to ensure the cover fitted as best as possible.


For a perfect-fitting seat cover, we recommend a bespoke retrim; however, these parts from the manufacturer do the job of refreshing and repairing a vehicle's interior back to its former glory.

This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.

This beautiful Ferrari 328 GTS came to d:class with a common repair job. Mickey mouse had moved himself in whilst the vehicle was being long-term stored, and fancied a diet of 80s Italian leather. This does happen with vehicles being stored over long periods of time, especially those who store their cars with vehicle storage companies near any farmland. So, the job was to retrim both seat bases, retrim the handbrake lever, both of the seat side trims, and some of the rear bulkhead trim. Who knew mice could have such exotic dietary requirements. Mickey wasn't very tidy and left a lot of mess, so we gave the car a clean inside and out, ready for the customer. We don't typically post this kind of work, but we are suckers here for a 1980s Ferrari, so we had to shoot it....and make a Fast and Furious parody clip. Enjoy!
