Default Where to buy FACTORY seat covers?

Hey guys I've tried checking everywhere I can think of online.

I have a few small tears in my tan leather seat in the driver bolster, and the leather panel you sit in, the tear is about 3 inches in front of where your nuts would be when sitting down (don't know how else to describe it lol).

I just need to find the covers, or just the individual panels, I know a guy who used to do ford seats for a living who can hook me up.

Let me know

thanks!

Id also be interested in this, I have a few tears in my seats and from the research I have done the only options are to either buy new seats or get them reupholstered which is really costly

Are those direct factory replacements..?


also my interior is "tan"

do you guys know the specific name for tan interior? or is it just "tan"

Doesn't look like you can seperate those.. I just wanted 1 single cover for the driver seat.

Classic industries and Ecklers both sell seat covers. I found my local upolstery shop to be quite reasonable on fixing my worn driver's side bolster and redoing the crushed foam on the bottom of my seat.

leather seats dot com is probably the best place. Great quality, and fitment is like stock. I don't know if they do individual pieces, but you can get a full set. Pricing is pretty good too, and you can get custom 2 tone stuff.

Damn I struck out again- 3 times.

None of those sources either had them, or you had to buy the entire kit to do all 4 seats.

Does anyone have any recommendations.. I'm kind of at a loss here on what to even do.

The upholster around me wanted $300.00 if I brought them the leather.

They wanted $500.00 if they had to take the seat out of the car and repair it themselves. Does that sound insane?

Its a freaking 1 inch rip, all that needs to be replaced is ONE panel and ONE bolster..

thoughts >?

Not really insane... good reupholstery jobs are pricey

I have a few tears in my drivers seat and was quoted about $350 to redo most of the seat ( not all of it ) in the original leather and vinyl. The dude said something about having to redo certain pieces because the new material would tear the old material or something. Anyway you might find a good used driver seat on eBay for about the same price of a reupholstery job. You can also try a salvage yard. Good luck bro
