How to Deal with Severe Peeling of Car Seats?
2 Answers
Car seat aging and peeling cannot be repaired. It is recommended to purchase genuine leather seat covers online and install them on the seats, or visit a roadside car decoration shop to have a new set of genuine leather seats custom-made, then remove the original leather and replace it. If this situation occurs during the car's warranty period, you can inquire at a 4S shop and ask them to provide a corresponding solution. However, such cases are relatively rare, but it's worth a try if it happens. Seat maintenance methods: 1. Regularly clean genuine leather seats: Do not wait until stains appear before cleaning. 2. Periodically apply genuine leather protectants: Products like leather protection wax can also be used to effectively extend the lifespan of genuine leather seats. 3. Avoid leaving the car under direct sunlight for prolonged periods: This can easily lead to leather aging and hardening.
I've been driving an old car for over a decade, and severe seat peeling is quite common, mostly caused by sun exposure and years of friction. For treatment, first clean the peeling area, remove dust and debris with a small brush, then apply special leather glue to the edges and press firmly until dry. If the peeling is extensive, the most reliable solution is to buy a new seat cover - it's not costly. Prevention is also crucial; I always use sunshades when parking and wipe the seats daily to reduce dirt buildup. Remember, never use household glue as it can damage the seats further. Addressing the issue promptly can improve your car's interior comfort and extend its usable life by several years.
