    COST: Reupholstering?

    Hi all,

    When I bought my car, there were quite a few stains which are impossible to remove (particularly on the door cards/ next to the handle).

    Has anyone had any reupholstering done?
    If so, how much did it cost?

    I know you can DIY, but I don't trust myself...

    cost me $120. I took the door cards off and separated the inserts removed the old material and cleaned them up. The guy that did it for me said I could of left the inserts on the door cards. Be warned behind the material was one of the stickiest substances ive ever seen.

    I took my car in today for a quote to repair the seat and the door cards.
    $120 each for the door cards, not sure if that is new material or not.

    $280 for the seat upper and lower bolster on right side.
    MK4 GTI - Sold
    MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
