I had the lower drivers side panel on my seat replaced at a local "highly rated" upholstery shop, and it costs $150.00

Hopefully you are in or near a big town so you can do your shopping. I know you are in IL but don't know where. By the way, did you read my post of filling out your biography???

From these posts it looks like anywhere from $40.00 to $200.00. Since these answers probably aren't from the town you live in, this just gives you a ball park figure.

You need to let your figers do the walking and check out upholstery shops that can do this kind of work. While you're at it call the local salvage yards and get prices for a replacement seat. Once you have found the lowest price from a reputable source, buckle down, pay your money and get it fixed.

Of course I don't know all the details, but if I knew for sure that I didn't burn the seat I would just say so and refuse to pay. There is probably more to it than you have said and that's okay, cause you didn't ask if you should pay or not, you just wanted an idea of how much it would cost.

By the way, I was born in Streator, IL. You've probably never heard of it. It's between Ottawa and Pontiac and about 70 miles south of Chicago. I still have a twin brother who lives there.

Best of luck with your problem.
