I have just purchased a 2010 A3 TDI. As there is no cloth/textile option for the interior in the U.S. (only in Europe since 2009), I had to get it with leather. I do not want the leather for ethical reasons.

Rather than having an upholstery service just rip it out and dispose of it, I'd like it to go to someone who wants it. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the leather intact so that it could be used for another car? Or to reuse it would you have to trade the entire seat?

Also, any idea on how to get authentic Audi textile seat material for the seats? Have to somehow order it direct from the factory in Europe?

Thanks in advance- I did already see the thread from 2009 but need a little more detail if possible.

there are many people who would uy off the leather coverings from you. better off selling it because if you give it away, someone would take it and try to sell it.

there are threads in fourtitude on how to remove the cover, mainly by removing the hard plastic back first.

Thanks for your encouraging response. Once I have successfully removed the upholstery, do you know where I might try to sell it and how I would determine pricing? Is this forum an appropriate venue to sell something like this or try through an upholsterer in town?

I am not knocking your choice to not have leather. But the damage is already done. I am sure your leather was just a leftover by product of the beef industry. Better to make something out of it than throw it away. Each to there own but I don't see a problem is using a product that would be thrown away. Btw I eat meat.
