If the surface is accidentally scratched or damaged, the genuine leather of the seat can certainly be replaced. However, replacement is not recommended for the following reasons: 1. From an overall cost perspective: Taking the driver's seat as an example, the genuine leather of the seat is divided into two parts. When replacing, only one part can be replaced entirely. The overall cost of replacing the seat's genuine leather is relatively high. 2. From a safety perspective: Many car models are equipped with side airbags in the seats. These side airbags are installed between the seat frame and the genuine leather. If the replaced seat leather is of substandard quality or improperly installed, it could severely hinder the airbag from deploying properly in the event of an accident. Therefore, it is essential to regularly maintain and care for genuine leather seats during daily use. If any damage occurs, it is advisable to promptly seek professional repair services for surface restoration of the leather.

How to Adjust a Twisted Seat Belt?

Methods to adjust a twisted seat belt: 1. Remove the trim panel on the B-pillar inside the vehicle; 2. Loosen the screws securing the seat belt, then tighten the screws and reinstall the trim panel.
