On the same issue of car upholstery repairs, anyone have a Mercedes benz with the drivers seat cover coming apart, and showing excessive wear? Seems to be a common problem with the w212 Mercedes.

I used Nolans a few years ago for my 3 series when the back seat leather ripped.

They put in a new panel. It was perfect and you couldn't notice the difference.

Lovely people to deal with as well. I would be wary of recommending people in case things go wrong but my experience with Nolans was an excellent one.

Just an update.
Went to Nolans and dealt directly with Derek, I cant say enough good things about the communication and helpfulness as well as the actual job is hugely impressive. Thanks for the advice again guys.
