Bobblely alcantara

Post by dubber36 »

If you've got leather / alcantara seats you'll know how they wear as they get older, espeacially the drivers seat. The alcantara looses its nap and goes all bobblely.

I have "shaved" mine a couple of times before, but didn't fancy doing that again. So instead i tried some duck tape. Stick it down well, pull it staight off before it has time for the glue to make a mess and hey presto, no more bobbles. :cool: They are not perfect, but now look like they did when the car had done 20,000miles, not 75. :grin:
2004 V6 TDI gone and replaced with a 2011 TDI Sport DSG which has gone too.
