Tore leather on '01 explorer
Hi I posted here a while ago about how I had a rip in my driver's side leather seat. And one of you guys asked me to tell you how much it went for when I came back from the dealership.
Well the dealership charged me 242 dollars to replace two patches on the driver's seat and repaint the rest of the seats. I went to another place after that just to hit myself in the head a few times and found out they'd only charge 120 for the same fix.
ARGH!
btw: I get the ex back today from the shop...evaporator leak in my A/C...500 dollar repair..ouch!! Ford wanted to charge me 770!

The Service advisor at ford told me that the guy who takes care of the leather took the seats out of the ex and took'em to his shop and took two of the pieces of the seat that had the tear in it and replaced only those two "pieces" or "patches", he did not patch it up. I should've explained it better. Since these new patches were a little darker than the original he went ahead and repainted all of the seats including the rear bench seat.

Whole seat covers I think run around 600-700 cobra.

I knew what the entire covers were, that the reason I said I would send you a check if they gave them to you for that price... 
I think when it is time for mine to get redone, I am going to have them done somewhere with some different styling. NOw I just have to figure out what style...
