Leather Repair And Misty Interior!

[trevb78 5]

Hi all,

 

I'm a newbie - owned my 159 for around 3 weeks.

 

Couple of questions:

 

There is a small tear on the rear of the passenger seats - should I use one of the repair kits on eBay or seek professional help?!

 

Also, the car seems to condensate on the inside, is there a common seal or place I should look at?

 

Many thanks!

On the leather I would get a professional to do it, they do an amazing job.

 

The condensate I've no idea I'm not up on my 159's

Both of our cars are misty at the moment, difficult not to get damp with this much rain about.

I'd check the obvious first, leaves blocking the vents under the bonnet at the bottom of the windscreen and track down the drain holes, make sure they're not blocked.

You may find a nice easy cure, you never know

I'll give it a look - thanks for the ideas. I'd be more than misty out in overnight 😉

The early 159s had a problem with the bonding of the windscreen, but most of those were sorted in the first 2 years, if it's misting up now then I'd be ensuring the door seals are sitting on correctly, if you have a sunroof that the drain lines are onnected and clear, and finally that the pollen filter has been replaced.

 

The seat, get a professional tannery to do it, or replace the section of seat, it's ony a few bolts and may be cheaper than a repair.

Thanks Smaky! 😉
