Hello guys, I was screwing around in a parking lot and ended up hitting a curb and popping my seat airbag. Luckily the only thing that was damaged was a wheel, which are now my winter wheels, and summer wheels are on the way. Does anyone know a vendor that will restitch a seat after I replace the airbag? I'm thinking of doing an r56 seat swap, but don't know which would be more cost effective.

 

There is a vendor on Ebay. for around $100 bucks they will send you a new (used) aurbag and restitch your seat. I had an accident and bought a sewing machine. Wish I had just paid the money to have a pro do it. The seat cover is glued onto the foam. you will have to peal it off. and put it back on with spray glue. There is a airbag scan tool called a B200 or something. it is made in china like $40 off of ebay and will allow you to reset your airbags.

When mine bley, it blew my seat and headliner. I had to replace the headliner and seat airbag, It can be done yourself. Ebay and people parting their cars here will be your friend.

 

I have already bought the B200, just need to fix the airbags. Do you have the name of the vendor? I would rather have a pro do it, and have it look nice. I'm usually a DIY kind of guy, and have no problem replacing the airbag, but unless I can find a really good tailor, with the correct stitching, I'd rather use someone who has some experience with it.

 

Did you try searching locally for an auto upholstery shop? Some pretty talented folks may be lurking in your own backyard.
