Hi,

I have a Vauxhall Mokka and there is a tear on the leather driver seat, I’m wondering if anyone knows if I can buy a replacement leather seat cover or would Vauxhall be able to repair this?

Also is there anywhere where I can see a diagram of the car to find part numbers?

Cheers

You need to either replace it, in which case, err....ring Vauxhall parts maybe?
Or you need a vehicle retrimmer or upholsterer to repair.
Fermit, a poster on PH maybe able to help or repair.
Thank you both I’ll give that a try

Another option to consider might be to track down a good used replacement seat from a breaker, and simply swap it out. Removing and refitting seats is a fairly easy DIY job.
This sounds like a good idea, do you know if there is a part number for he seats? Cheers

For that option, just speak to breakers yards until you find one that has a Mokka with the same trim. Or look through eBay listings until you find one.

For the replacement upholstery option, ask your Vauxhall dealership. Just describe what you want and the parts department should be able to work it out for you
Thank you, should the Vauxhall dealership definitely be able to repair/replace this? I’ll give them a phone call tomorrow.

And then realise you can probably buy another used Mokka for the price quoted!

Seriously - take the preceding advice, OP. Ask an upholsterer to repair it, if you can't find a replacement seat, for less money. Also, "tear" is subjective. If just the stitching has failed it's even cheaper to fix.
Thank you all for your messages, they are all really helpful. Does anyone know if it’s possible for grey leather to be repaired? Thanks again

I only answered that question in case the OP was asking about other parts. An upholsterer is obviously the best choice for a repair.
I appreciate all your help, should an upholsterer be able to fix the seat and match the grey colour on the leather? I’m unable to get a picture right now but there is a black scratch on the seat should they be able to dye that the same grey colour as well? Thank you
