[s-cars] To re-upholster or not to re-upholster

[Kevin Campbell]

I agree, most seat covers do look like crap, but so does a $1200 deficit
in my bank account for seats that look hardly as good as new.

Kevin,

I depends on how much repair your seats need and how 
slippery your slope is.  

All the parts and pieces for the seats are available 
at the dealer.  The outer bolster on the bottom 
cushion is not integrated into the center section.  
The foam is also available separately.

A friend had his lower bolster repaired and it is 
hard to tell.  Total cost = $70.  Good shops are 
around.  Of course, as has been mentioned, these 
seats are not easy to work on (BTDT when I replaced 
my seat heater element).

IMHO seat covers look like crap.

Tom

My local stealer recommended a shop they use and tell 
me they do good 
work. Perhaps you can get a similar recommendation 
from your stealer.

I have not yet succumbed to the ever stronger urge to 
have my driver's seat 
reupholstered. It's coming. :-(
