Recover Leather G model Console

[porschedude996]

I was looking for information on recovering my console. I couldn’t find anything on the subject.

It really isn’t a hard or involved project.

The console is two structural elements that are stapled together under the cover.

I have a Red French Seam that needed a little more attention than if it was recovered like the OEM.

I purchased the pre-sewn cover on ebay.

Materials:

DAP Weldwood Landau Top Cement (I got a quart from an upholstery shop) You don’t need a gallon for this job. I decided to brush it on, rather than spray.

Tools:
Acid Brush
1” Paint Brush
Exacto Knife
Scissors
Staple Remover
Staple Gun



Peeling back the old material.



Revealing staples that hold the two structural together.



Glue the new material on the inside of the orange structure.



Install black trim structure into orange structure.



Staple to form an assembly.



Continue to glue the material down the sides.





Finally, glue and wrap the material under and inside.

All done

I appreciate the post. Can you elaborate a little?
I'm guessing some of your pictures are out of sequence? Can you annotate them?
Did you fix the staples? What adhesive did you use, and where did you apply it?
Did you make the new cover yourself? Or, where did you buy it?
Thanks for posting.

Addendum: Thank you for editing/embellishing your post

My preference on glue.

Nice job, link to the ebay cover doesn't work.

Ebay links don’t seem to work. Try this search words:

The hardest part is removing the center console if you have AC, and a leather gator for the shifter. It is a real pain to get that console out, and back in.

Your leather work looks great.
