The leather on my n/s/f door panel of my Saff has shrunk does anybody know how I can stretch it back to its original shape?

 

Mine too, help please

 

the car upholster s heat the leather up with steam . ive never tried it but it doesnt harm the leather

 

Would a wallpaper stripper produce the sort of steam required for this job?

 

yeh it will create the steam > be a bit fiddly wit the size of them though!

 

Dave Thanks will try him.

The paper stripper can be used using just the hose so if expensive to get re-trimmed will give that a try.

 

Be careful using steam, it can make the problem worse. The glue ford used degrades due to age and moisture, and using steam can make more of the glue fail making the problem worse. It is always the nsf panel that seems to go first. Re-trim is the way to go but cheap it aint.

 

Thanks for that advice, looks like re-trim might be the only way. What does not cheap mean?

 

cant you try getting hold of a second hand one.probably be cheaper that way?

 

Problem there is not many people will split any interior they have. unless anyone knows of any out there.

 

Take it off & refit it

 

I think mines shrunk so much below the door pocket I cant see that it will stretch back to its original position.
