Automotive Upholstery & Interior Restoration (Restoration How-to Sa Design)

I don't know why I buy these things when Youtube is free. There's nothing in this you couldn't find online but I enjoy reading print. I upholstered for years but years ago and thought it'd be fun to see a unique perspective. It was not revelational but I'm keeping it in my library. Take that for what it's worth.

Well done.

The book covered all the major portion of auto upholstery restoration: seats, door panels, headliner, carpet and convertible top.The pictures are all in color and very clear. The instructions, at least the ones I referenced on seat upholstery, are clear and helpful.Two things I liked about the book were the chapter on tools and source guide. One may have a garage full of tools, but upholstery tools are not your typical Ace Hardware tools. Reading this section will, hopefully, avoid the part of the project that many have experienced where half way through the project it becomes apparent the right tool to finish is missing. The page on sources was also helpful but to a lesser extent.This book might well be the one and only reference one would need for a do-it-yourselfer.

Awesome product and fast delivery!

Very informative on what I need to know to get the job done. Wish it covered window trim too but over all great book for finishing a car interior.

Must have for anyone in the auto trim business, or anyone wanting more knowledge on this subject. Easy to understand, excellent photos and how to’s. My copy is well loved and used.

This book is easy to understand with good photos and gives the novis a good basic understanding of auto interior upolstery. A good easy read wheather you are DIY or trying to evaluate a prospective shop to hire.

Sent this to my man who is away. He said it was a good purchase and showed more things than he expected to find. He would recommend.

Explains well how to change convertible top.

Good information book

This book is for restoration of older cars only. It won't help you if you want to re-upholster seats in a newer car (say last 5 years). I bought it for car upholstery tips but was very limited use, hence 1 star review. Even the photos look like they were taken in the 70s and I think the description does not adequately outline the limitations of the book. Not ordered on prime so I took a chance when I bought it. Disappointed.

Very helpful
