MB Tex Repair

Just got my MB Tex repaired on my driver seat...

Tried self fixing it with some vinyl glue since I was not still under warranty but at the end of the day was just not satisfied with the results.

Called MB dealership this morning and they gave me a number of a guy that would come right to my house and repair it.

$80 later, here is the before and after picture. Not completely perfect but I'm happy with the job.

No problem. The guy told me that he does so many repairs for MBtex and that its pretty typical. It's common on the outside panel on the driver side seat due to the fact that your constantly getting in and out.

I too need this! Mine MBtex is ripping near a seam on the perforated area. I went to a local detail shop who performs minor leather repair and was informed they couldn't fix this. I guess I need to look harder!

I also had a rip repaired on one of the rear seats (MB tex), $180. They did an amazing job. Can't even tell. They replaced the whole quarter section, just like new. If you need somebody in the Montreal area (they are the best), go to
