Default Where Can I Buy A Drivers Seat???

I have a small, maybe less then an inch opening in the seam running on the side of the drivers seat. Like if you sat in the seat, the left side bolster that comes out, that top seam has come apart. A guy that does leather work said it really can't be done. Which makes no sense consideing if you rip a giant hole in the middle of your seat it can be fixed, but he said it was on the seam and needed to be taken off, stiched, and then put back on. I was wondering where I could just buy a power seat for a trans am drivers side, grey. Any info would be great. Thanks!

Junkyard or ebay. Another idea would be to just buy the leather cover new from GM.

There are websites that sell new seat covers that will match up perfectly, do some browsing through websites. Or you could buy a whole seat used from the for sale section.

I would say doing just the seat install would likely be cheaper (depending on the cost of the seat) it's just 4 bolts and a harness clip (done by you AKA free labor), as opposed to removing the cover and reinstalling a new one (done by someone else AKA charge for labor)
