Angry NOOOO!!! @#!*# Hole in drivers seat!

Arrgghhh!!! A hole has worn through my drivers seat! It makes my interior look shaby! Anyone by chance swap their seat skins out to leaher and still have their old cloth skins they want to get rid of? This is the color and style of my interior.

Do you want a set that is post-farts or pre-farts?

That don't look so bad! In fact, I wish mine looked as good.

Try a local auto upholstery shop. If the hole or rip is not to bad they can stretch the material and resew it back. And if the foam is bad to they can add some in there to re-fit the seat. I had to repair my driver's seat in my 2000 F-150 before I had my S/D. Can not remember how much it cost but is was not bad.

Ebay has a ton of covers listed, OEM fabric and leather. Course there is always great wearing aftermarket seat covers in a wide variation of colors

I second the "local upholstery shop" idea.

They're usually not the cheapest, but they can make it look OEM, and you can be sure it's right before handing over the green.

If they make you pay for a minimum amount of material, be sure to take possession of what they don't use (you paid for it), as you'll likely find a few uses for it in the future.

My insurance company just paid $1800 to a "local" upholstery shop to recover all my seats. The shop purchased pre-made units and installed them. If I would have purchased the same kit and installed myself it would have only costed $600. I have found most of the "locals" don't even make the covers anymore. They buy Mexican made sets for a fraction of the cost, but charge the same amountthey would if they actually made them.

BTW: my seats are leather and have "lariat" embroidered into the headrests.

EDIT: I say "just" but it was over a year ago now.
