A clean and well-keeled car interior is always pleasant, and especially if he has a salon pulled and does not look like a factory salon. We will tell about the nuances of the battles, the cost and different versions.
If the motorist loves comfort, softness and purity, then first of all the seat, its automotive salon takes not the last place for him. Often, for giving fresh seats, their coating is simply replaced. This process is best to provide masters that are found on this. But, if financially in no way, or I want to experiment at home, then the "green light" such plans.
Any tailoring does not work out without the help of a sewing machine. So here, she will need. Because all the work of the renewal of the seat cover is to work with a sewing machine and in the ability to correct the confidence of future fabric or leather covers. It must be remembered that the seat hauling will take a lot of time and effort.
Selection Selection Material Seat
Before you directly proceed to the seat of the seat in the car, it will be necessary to decide on the material for the seat. Suede, leather, velor, etc. can serve as a material. With the color and shades of the seat, the seats should be selected directly to the color of the interior upholstery. But, if the soul wishes, then you can pick it up at will.
As a rule, strict motorists are squeezing their car's salon in one color, but extravagant and extraordinary preferred a combination of several colors. It gives some exclusive and fashionable salon and seats. This rule is valid and in relation to the seats and their coverage.
In all car elite class, a leather interior is quite common, which means that the seats are covered with this material. But, unfortunately, there is a huge minus of such a material. It lies in the fact that the skin is quite heated at high temperatures. And precisely because of this, driving a car in summer days can entail a mass of negative statements about the car and discomfort from the driver. During the period of cold and frost, everything is in reverse order: then two times harder than usual at least somehow warm the seat.
When it is financially impossible to "make" leather covers for the seat, then such universal materials like Alcantara or velor will always come to the rescue. They are popular among motorists for quite a long time. And moreover, they are good with their qualities with their long-term use.
Preparing for the seats
Getting Started for the first stage of the seat of the seat, it is necessary to remember that in any repair work, which is carried out over the car, it is necessary to concentrate all of its attention on all the details and no case need to be in a hurry, and everything is confident and according to recommendations. So, you first need to remove the seats. They, in turn, are fixed by four bolts. First you need to disconnect the minus battery terminal, as well as disconnect the electrical wiring terminals. This is the case if they are present in the car, then it is only when there is heated seats in the car.
Next, you will need to remove and sign all parts of the former covers taken from the seat. It is also recommended to designate the type of material on them, which will be replaced on this or that gap. Then it is necessary to remove the regular seat covers. This can be done, simply moving metal clips on the back of the seat.
Old covers that were previously removed from the seat should be carefully cut on the seams. In the near future, they will come in handy sketches for the pattern of new blanks for covering the seat. Then you need to outline these patterns on the material clearly at the edges. But, here is one point: during the cutting of these patterns, it is necessary to retreat approximately 5-7 mm at the edges.
New covers at home
Getting Started with the process of creating a new cover for a car seat, you need to prepare all the necessary tools in advance. You will need: marker, scissors, hammer and foam rubber (its thickness should not be more, no less than 2-3 cm), sewing machine and glue in the canopy.
Now to business. On the material of the future seat for the seat, you need to put patterns from the old cover and fix them from above with a little bit. This will help patterns in the same position when drawing and cutting out new parts of the future cover for the car seat.
Next, you need to circle the old part of the seats cover with a marker on a new web and cut all the necessary parts. But, do not forget that when cutting out these elements, you need to retreat from circled edges by 2-3 cm.
There is such a material for car covers for the seat like Alcantara. Here you need special attention, since this material is a darous, and, as a rule, one way. This means that during the pattern and outlines of the old car seat covers, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that the lurisal surface of all parts of the future seat for the seat was directed in one direction.
Improving the quality of car seat covers from leather or Alcantara can provide foam rubber. It is glued directly to the material. Porolon is recommended to glue with a special canister with this viscous substance, and not a brush. Further, all the patterns of the future cover for the seat must be sewn through a sewing machine. All items must be covered carefully and with maximum attention.
When the case for the car seat is almost ready, all its seams are required to put down. Initially, all unnecessary pieces of foam rubber and material are cut off. Then, after degreasing and cleaning the obtasses of the seams, they must be glued to each other.
As soon as the above was done, the challenges should be discarded with a hammer (this is already directly as the glue drying). Also, they are also recommended to sew a double line, and all other flaps that go beyond their edges of the future cover for the seat at all should not be trimmed with scissors.
Proper "Dressage" Case
Before putting on the seat of new covers, you will need to make special straps. After that, it is turned inside out, and pull on the back of the seat. Then the case is tensioned on the sedental seat itself. There is nothing complicated in this. The seat cover must be attracted by plastic clamps that stretch through special holes, to the base of the very seat. It is fixed behind the needles. If the edges have not become the contour of the seat, they must be tightened well.
When the car seat is done with the help of such a material, then at the end of the whole process it must be treated with a hot air flow throughout the perimeter. Here a hair dryer is perfect. Behind the warm-up process, you need to carefully monitor, because you can easily overheat the skin, and this will lead to the loss of its former type and quality, especially when installing on the seat.
When the leather case for the seat after drying will be stretched as a drum, it will indicate to its complete drying. Next, you will need to handle each covered cover for the seat with a wet rag and ferry from the iron. If you adhere to all the above tips, then the leather case will have excellent elasticity and look smoothly on the seat. Upon completion of the process of the seat of the seat, it is desirable to inspect and remove all traces of the fingers or the remnants of glue from materials such as Alcantara or light skin.
The pulled seats at home will not only please the eye, but also will be the subject of pride for themselves, and from a practical point of view, they will also serve for quite a long time, and saving the seats perfectly.
Pricing Policy Timing Seats
The price policy of the car seat is often not fixed for all cars, but rather individual. It all depends on the number of seats, which can be crawling, from parts of the seat, from the material, as well as from the production of the car and its brand itself.
So, hauling four seats for a hundred for the domestic car (such as VAZ 2101..112, Niva, Priora, Kalina) from the customer's material will cost about $ 160, and if the material is provided by the maintenance station, the amount will start from $ 220 and Much will depend on the selected material. When it comes to such cars as GAZ 24-01 .. 3110, 31029, 2410, 31105, then on providing its material for a lattice will need to give from $ 165, and without the material amount is from $ 200.
In case, there is a hauling of four seats for a car of foreign origin of any brand and model with the presence of its material, the amount of payment will start from $ 220. Without the presence of its material, the price increases and starts from $ 280.
There is also a dragging of some parts of the seat. For example, for two head restraints, both for domestic and foreign cars, the price will be from $ 15 without its material. And for the installation of covers brought by the customer, you will have to lay out from $ 30 for the car of the domestic car industry, and from $ 35 for a foreign car.
And now about the cost of material and work on covers. For four seats of such cars as VAZ 2101..112, Niva, Priora, Kalina, a motorist for tailoring and a hauling of any fabric material on a porolon basis with the presence of its material will have to give from $ 160. If the soul wishes a more elegant view of the car's salon, the one hundred will take from $ 400 for sewing covers on the above cars on the material from the skin and jointly eco-skin. And for the "clean" skin on a porolon basis will need to give from $ 600.
For a car GAZ 31-02, 31029, 3110, 31105 for the covers for seats from the skin and eco-skin on a foam-based basis, the price will start from $ 440, and for purely leather covers on the foam rubber you need to give from $ 640. This is subject to the maintenance of the maintenance station material for the seat drying. If the customer provides material, then the amount begins from $ 200.
Rates for covers for cars of foreign origin is naturally an order of magnitude higher. So, on the manufacture and tightness of covers with the presence of a customer material on a porolon-based price starts from about $ 185. For four seats, a combination of leather and eco-skin on a foam rubber for a foreign car, taking into account the material, will cost about $ 40, and from clean skin, the coating will cost from $ 660.
I will do everything right and best for a hundred, but if there is a desire to make sure they yourself, or simply finance do not allow, then you can make covers for car seats with their own hands. Although it will take a lot of time and effort to take the seat, it is worth it. And if there is no desire to take something and the thickness of the wallet allows you to take, then you can completely rely on a hundred simply by specifying the desired color and the material of the future coating for the car seat.
