[@daveb1242]

Just brilliant

[@coastalcushionco8227]

Thanks

[@daveb1242]

They look fantastic, pretty much what I want for my T6. I’m pretty sure my seats have airbags. Do you cover seats that have airbags??

[@coastalcushionco8227]

Yes I do!

Awesome.. what is the backing material you sticking the leather to please? And how do you know what size and shape of hide is needed to replace the seat? do you basically undo the stitching of the old seats and draw around the outline of each panel or do you work off templates please? Also, what is your preferred thickness of the hides you use please..sorry for all the questions..

[@coastalcushionco8227]

The backing is 6mm scrim foam. all hides are about the same size 4 to 5 square meters and 0.8mm to 1mm thick. Part 3 in the series will tell you all about the patterns
