Great tutorial! The fix looks great! Nothing worse than torn leather in the interior of the car.

[@robpeabo509]

Great tutorial on how to repair a torn seat. You made it look too easy Christian 👍. Many people (myself included) would not have realised how easy it could be. Very effective and extremely well colour matched. I honestly expected Vera would be the one showing us how to do the repair. Vera is a master fabric crafts person.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍 I was gone on a trip when he did that. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@UnShockerable]

Thank you for another very helpful and informative video.

[@Skagitrover]

Nice work even though you were unsupervised!! That is a great way to make this fix, thanks for sharing. Bob & Jill

[@TheDaf95xf]

Guten tag Christian. Woohoo 🙌 a mid week LRT video 😀 That’s a really great seat fix made to look 👀 simple 👍🏻 I thought Vera was going to sew 🪡 a new piece on the seat after you’d take it to pieces lol 😆 See ya Sunday 😆

[@jerrygreene7139]

That is a great result. However, you broke cardinal rule #1. Never post a video that doesn’t include Vera!

[@simon-mouse8739]

OMG 🤣🤣

[@josephgittos3787]

Fora quick fix without taken the seat cover off and replacing it or replacing the full seat (both expensive alternatives) you have done a great job cant even tell from the video.

[@gazzafloss]

Nice "how to" video, thankyou Christian.

[@markbielawski]

With that driver's seat, I would never tell that was repaired, at least on video. Nice job!

[@johannesfrremadsen4088]

Nice job! Top tip: on most cars the two front seat bases are a straight swap. Changing left to right hides the worn outsides by the centre console and keeps them (almost) away from more wear. And you get a drivers seat with less kilometres. But you have to do it before they're actually ruined.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We were kind of surprised that both seats are worn equally. They must have spent every single one of those 170000 km together in the car. That is love.😅👍 But as the adjusters are on the seats, no one that I know of has done a left to right swap.🤔 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@johannesfrremadsen4088]

@@Vera_and_Christian That is love indeed❤️ Did a left to right swap in my Discovery 3 as the cloth seat started to wear on the drivers side. Good for a couple of more years more now.

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Good to know for the future. Thanks for sharing. BTW the Merc is just as interesting as the LR material.

[@rotax636nut5]

Wow, this is what I'm talking about, great video, thanks

[@simonevans343]

Whooopeeee !!!!! A mid week bonus. Nice neat job.

[@dnscud1]

Always great work. Enjoyed the learning experience. Say hi to Vera also.

[@olamabambi4193]

As your wife would say “ HOLLY MOLLY” great work looks beautiful.

[@fredo62000]

Great job !!!!! Congrats !!!

[@stevebarker669]

great job, for a fraction of the cost to get it re-upholstered. very practical. Now i need to attack my LR3 driver's seat !!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yeah we thought we try it one the Mercedes before we attack my Disco seat, which looks not as bad, but getting there. 😅👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@kumbirayinyabereka5190]

@@Vera_and_Christian But next time we need to see both you in the video. There was a missing half in this video. We missed Vera's catch phrase "Oh my God". 🤣🤣🤣.

[@darrencoyle3290]

Looks good but will it last, I would have let Vera replace the panel on the seat and sow it back in properly.. nice video mid week .. keep the coming Christian 🙂

[@simonjones5614]

Very impressed at how easy you made that look 👍 My only suggestion would be to use high temperature contact adhesive next time to minimise the risk that it will come apart in hot weather.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

The glue is for shoes and leather. I think temperature is ok. But maybe not in Arizona or Australia. Christian

[@ianfender8142]

Excellent job

[@HeinerStorch]

Job well done. Looks like new.👍

[@discovery-on-the-island1079]

Nice result ✅

[@kevinbarry71]

I just figured a German would simply buy a new Mercedes in that situation

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Lol, only if the ashtray is full at the same time...

[@alexshapley8331]

Wow! What patience and attention to detail... I would probably have just bought a replacement seat in a junk yard....

[@maxthecaddy8451]

Toyota seats never wear out so no need for that UHU glue 🤣🤣👍

[@afpseb4582]

Cool job! Same issue here! I m just consudering using another stronger glue as shoe glue tends to be cheap and low quality. I ll try neoprene

[@Vera_and_Christian]

The glue still holds well and it is even cold now. Used this same glue on my hiking boots and it did not hold up at all 😳. Christian

[@mauritztoivonen1070]

Thank you.

[@mdshovel]

Great job ... a midweek leather surprise 😁

[@obertan_1]

Looks like WOW ! 👍

[@willfrench3693]

Really nice job Christian! If you guys did a coffee making video it would be the best coffee making video on youtube :D

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@samrodian919]

A great job Christian, and not one "Oh my God!" In the whole video lol l have not seen UHU here in the UK for well over 30 years. Probably because of the glue sniffing craze in the late 80's and 90's when sales of volatile solvent based adhesive were made very restricted and as UHU was sold in small tubes and not tins here I suppose the makers stopped exporting it to the UK. (Tubes of Evo-stik disappeared from shop shop shelves at the same time but you could still get it by asking for it, if you were a responsible looking adult lol.) As a Church organ builder, we used normal UHU as a repair glue if we had to put new very thin sheepskin leather on pneumatic action motors and it worked very well.it's good to see it is still around.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

UHU is still a household name and product here in Germany. However, special glue like that, you have to order online. Stores don't carry that anymore. Wow, an organ builder, that is impressive. We have a 17 year old son who is becoming a blacksmiths. He just build a cross for our local church, it was very impressive ( it was featured in one of the recent videos ). 👍💪🙋‍♀️Vera

[@ToxCcc]

I dont see UHU in big supermarket but I do I see UHU all the time in Home Bargains and Poundland too.

[@equisequis.55]

nice job now sit on it several times this week next week and in a month and see if it has shifted or peel up.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

It‘s been a year now, holding up perfect.👍🙋‍♀️

Yes I like to get the “Maximum Bondage” as well!! 😆

[@aydenjaidenbriden3]

Where did you find the fabric?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I was table top cover fabric out of a hardware store. Christian

[@richardharker2775]

Genius.

[@AllenManor]

That Sharpie looks familiar!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😃👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@vp5058]

Hi , is not beter to use lether ? Or is more dificult to stretch to shape ?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I used the same fabric as the seats are made of. Christian

[@burgerbirger2221]

If you use leather cleaner and conditioner, you never have to do that. I use something called Colourlok cleaner and conditoner even on the steering wheel. It’s like new.

[@equaliser2265]

Ooooo maximum bondage, nice.

Bondage lmao

Is there anything you can't do? 😂👍

This is LR channel. Why its about Mercedes now ?!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

It's not a Land Rover channel, Land Rover has a Land Rover channel😅. We do have the freedom to do whatever we like here. When you, Robert, pay us for our content, then you can tell us what content we should post. But maybe you should watch our videos first. It seems like you did not watch the last one. And most likely this one also. 😊👍🙋‍♀️

Cambodgia reparatur

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Worked out just fine. 🙋‍♀️

[@SiCrewe]

Hmmm.... I can't help thinking this is more of a "fix before you sell it" repair and not a "fix after you buy it" repair.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I can't believe you write something like that. I thought long time viewers know Christian by now. 😅👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@SiCrewe]

@@Vera_and_Christian Sorry. :( The repair is incredibly well done. It's just that, I'd be very surprised if the glue survives several months of constantly flexing as people sit on it. Maybe, in a few months, give us an update of how it's doing?
