I say is a bad install, take it back!! I've never seen such a cellulite problem before. Have you tried Preparation H?

 

Yeah the part that really bothers me is just the lower portion. Each corner has a bunch of slack there it looks like and is all wrinkled up. I pulled a little bit from under the seat and looks like it takes some of the slack out so I bet it just wasn't pulled tight enough.
I'll see how 1 week does with leaving in the sun a little bit and then I'll take it back.

 

Bad installation, they did not take the time to mke sure it was properly pulled tight before crimping those hogrings in place, I would be upset with the foam in the seat bottoms too.

 

Yeah I will be going back to them shortly to have it tightened up. Left it in the sun like he said and it made no difference at all that I can tell.

 

steaming does not work on leather to my knowledge

 

ah ok good to know. has not tightened up at all so will call the guy back on monday to get this fixed

 

I have to go with bad install too! And if anything, they should have added foam not remove it????

 

Gonna call the shop back tomorrow to try and get this resolved. Definitely not happy with the result!!

 

Alright well spoke to the upholsterer again and I will be bringing the car back to him.
To someone that is familiar with removal and install of the seat covers.
He said that he put the hog rings back exactly how they were and that is how the seats looked then.
Do you roll the fabric up a little bit underneath or something before putting the rings in place? I want to make sure it is him not tightening it before I make sure I don't pay anything for him to fix it. Either way really he should have done something to make them fit well rather then just put them on all loose I think.
How are they tightened? I was able to reach under and just tug on the leather and they seem to tighten up a bit right away.

 

He said that's exactly what they looked like? That's a bullsh!t answer

(unless they actually did, but your posts seem to indicate otherwise so i'm believing what you say).

Somebody who takes so little pride in their work that they would feel comfortable turning seats like that back over to the customer and try to justify it with that sort of answer someone you should never deal with again. it's time to get pissed. this guy focked up your seats and you should not accept any more of his ridiculous excuses.

One the plus side and perhaps most importantly, you can now rule out the other excuse the guy might offer--something like"oh, well the covers weren't exactly the right size or oem or blah blah..." because he can't use both excuses--either thats how they looked or they are not the right size--can't be both
