How to Install Leather Seat covers in a Miata

Описание: Is it time to re-skin your Mazda Miata or Eunos Roaster convertible? We've got you covered, or in this case your "covers". Join us this week as we learn how to install leather seat covers in a Miata.

Today's seats come to us from a 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata. The interior of this MX5 has seen better days and is in need of a restoration of its leather seats. We are going to be doing the leather seat repair with a set of leatherseats.com miata leather upholstery kit. We did not opt for Katskin leather, instead seeing what leatherseats.com leather is like. If you wanted to see a real leatherseats.com customer review, you've come to the right place. We are open, honest, and tell you how it is in this howto. We are a customer, just like you would be, so you'll get honesty!

This custom upholstery is of pretty good quality. We show you how to disassemble a NB Miata seat, remove the leather from the roadsters seat frames, and to add the miata leather seat covers back onto the frames. We use lots of hogrings, because thats what you do when you upholster seats. Hog rings, Hog rings, Hog rings!
