Default ppl with scratched up leather seats. please come in

my right front seat and door panel are scratched up by broken glasses when my car got broken in a week ago. this is not the worse part. the worse part is that my insurance company won't replace them. They told me they would fix them up like new. i don't think you can fix up scratches on leather seats, correct me if im wrong. now i don't feel satisfied since i was the victim and i had to pay the fawking deductable. so now what? should i talk to my adjustor and make him eat those ****z?? for real though, is it possible to fix them like new?

depends how big the scratches are. If there are rips, they'd have to replace part of the leather, which is expensive, or they could sew it, which is cheesy and obvious. If they are just surface scratches, they might dye the affected area and hit it real good with lexol so its soft like everywhere else. . . Either way they are gonna try to fock you so call them and let them know you pay your premiums for a reason and you want your **** replaced.

there's a tiny rip on the door panel and scratches on the seat. i don't know what exactly they gonna do with it. do i have to sign a claim paper when the repair is done? if so, im not gonna sign it if the repair looked half completed.

I dunno about that. With my insurance, they just gave me a check with the estimated amount on the car damage and they took pics on what they saw. If the shop guy said somthing needs to be replaced, he called the insurance up and said that he has to order some parts cuz these parts also needed to be replaced, but the insurance needed pictures of what the other damamges for proof. Then the insurance sends the shop more money to pay for the other parts. But I never signed a paper when it was done.

If you haven't signed anything yet, then you haven't "settled" with your insurance company. As a policyholder, you are ENTITLED to have your car put back exactly the way it was before the break-in. Remember, silence is acceptance...

my insurance company only paid me for one cd allowance regardless how many cds there were in my car. i don't think you can lie and say there were lot more stuffs got stolen, cuz it's just too easy to find out plus, u get to provide the original receipts for the stuffs you bought.
