Mercedes-Benz Seat Cover Replacement

S-Class Drivers Seat Cover Replacement

Here we have a seat base cover replacement for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This is a commonly requested job at d:class but is rarely showcased across our social media channels. As we are known for our work on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, we get a high volume of enquiries about newer vehicles with split and/or cracked seat covers. For some time, the seat covers were not made with the best materials and would show signs of wear very early on. However, it does appear to have been corrected, with more improved off-the-shelf covers now being available. Other manufacturers also offer seat covers, it is just that from our experience and clientele, Mercedes-Benz requests are more common.

This S-Class has leather seats and Mercedes-Benz sells a like-for-like replacement. As you can see, the leather has weakened between the perforations and has left the seat looking like this. The vehicle is 10 years old, so the foam did not require any additional repairs. The seat and cover were removed, the new cover installed, and a little bit of heat added to ensure the cover fitted as best as possible.


For a perfect-fitting seat cover, we recommend a bespoke retrim; however, these parts from the manufacturer do the job of refreshing and repairing a vehicle's interior back to its former glory.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

By Dave Price • May 7, 2026
This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Houndstooth Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • May 5, 2026
This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.

Ferrari 488 GTB Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
This Ferrari 488 GTB came to d:class for a steering wheel retrim, despite only showing light signs of wear. Having recently changed hands, the new owner wanted the car to feel completely their own. Starting with the one part you touch every time you drive. A fresh wheel makes all the difference, complemented by the installation of new steering wheel buttons to complete that factory-fresh finish.
