Seat Rail Spacers

Posted on: Monday February 26, 2018

Seat spacers driver side

I replaced the timber spacers under the seat rails today. When I replaced the seat covers a few months ago, I had to take the seats out and noticed that the timber spacers were broken. See attached photos. I installed new timber spacers from Moss. Also replaced the door/window seals.

Seat Covers

Seat covers 2

Took the seats out today to replace the seat covers. On taking the seats out I found that the driver's side had both packers in place but they were both broken. The passenger side had a broken runner adjacent to the tunnel and half a packer (!!) on the door side. I stripped off the old covers and put the new ones on.

A Day Of Bling

All looks great.

Door Trim showing patches

The door trims around the door frame had faded. The trims are meant to be black but have faded in places to a brownish colour, possibly the underlying base colour. I decided to rejuvinate the trims using black shoe dye suitable for synthetic materials. The trims were first cleaned with the preparation fluid and than I painted the dye on with a No6 modelling brush. The photos show the before and after as well as the products I used.
