How to Repair the Seat of a Citroen C4 Picasso

Model: Citroen C4 Picasso MK 1 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Seat

In the video, we see the front passenger seat of a Citroen C4 Picasso, which has collapsed padding on the outer side. There could be many reasons: someone may have been rough on that side, the quality of the padding may have been poor, or it may have suffered an impact. The fact is, it looks terrible. However, there is a method to repair it. First, remove the seat from its housing, then obtain a piece of foam to replace the damaged one. With a bit of patience and by following the video, remove the upholstery from the back of the seat, and ruthlessly take out the damaged foam until you reach the healthy part. Here, you can attach the new piece using spray adhesive. To ensure it adheres well and takes the right shape, temporarily hold it in place with adhesive tape. Once it has adhered perfectly and taken the correct shape, you can reattach the upholstery and then put the seat back in the vehicle. Job done.
