BMW Z3: Repairing the leather seat and seat belt guide

- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2020
- I tried repairing the seatbelt guide on my 2002 Z3 3.0i with the seat still in the car. That was a no-go. So I removed the seat, took off the leather, and repaired it the RIGHT way.
I show you how in about 12 minutes. Chapter times below.

You made it look easy! Excellent work! Thanks for the clear video!
So there is one zipper on back, and only hooks thru the seat in front , 3 sections (lines) , every section has 3 hooks? And that was?
Great work dude!
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 ❤
You sound like the EA SPORTS guy
Nice job
Thanks Melli Mel
So did the super glue method work? Cause that is 100 IQ thinking man! Great job and good video!
Nope, I thought it seemed like a good idea too. The little back clip even stayed in place. But the seat was too cushy, so I couldn't push the bracket through.
Ended up taking off the leather. It was pretty easy once I did that.
It's all in the vid if you fast forward.
I used super glue and it looks just the same with 1/10th the surgery and holds strong
Nice! I couldn't make it work on mine.
But it worked out okay.
It only took me 30 minutes total to do my passenger seat. Taking off the leather cover and putting it back on is not bad at all, once you learn how it's done.
How to connect the M seat to the car and activate the heated seat function?
I looked into swapping out my seats a few years ago. As I remember, it depends on the year. Newer years should be plug and play. Older years have different pin outs.
You should join the Z3 group on www.bimmerforums.com/. If you ask there, I bet you'll get the answer in a day or two.
Good luck!
Nice work, but have you figured out how to keep those bloody things from breaking again?
Easy peasy. Just never wear the seatbelts.
My leather seats have worn badly from my wallet and rain on my seats.
Replacing the leather covering is really easy. I just did the passenger side seat belt holder, and it took me about 30 minutes to take the leather off, put the new piece on, then put it all back together.
@@lyunardo really, that great to know. I asked a local leather shop that does that stuff and when I said BMW they noped out saying they would never touch another BMW. I know motor and drive train work is easy. Do you know of a good seat skin supplier?
@@fryreartechnology7611 I saw quite a few on Ebay a few months ago. But I ended up just fixing what I already have.
Let us know what you end up doing. Good luck.
What a fckn mission. That's a terrible design.
