New Seat Covers?

The driver's seat cover (leather) is starting to show serious signs or wear (probably because I fall out of it all the time). So I open for options from you other owners. It's a 2004 EB with two-tone leather and all the seat options. I'm cautious of a "seat cover" because they are (a.) ugly and (b.) I don't want anything interfering with my wonder heated seats so I would really like to replace with same. Suggestions on what to do and wear to shop?

Thx

Jim

There was a guy on Ebay selling top and bootm leather replacement covers for the Ford SD's and F150's about a month ago...search for leather seat covers and then narrow it down to make and model...

I have a ford original lower for my drivers seat when it finally becomes times. I also have Seat Savers from a company in Miami that don't look bad or effect my seat heaters.

If you want aftermarket leathers, then Katzkins would be a great place to start looking, but lube up first, they aren't cheap.

Check out this company: Leather Seat Covers, Replacement Seat Cover, Truck Seat Covers, The Seat Shop I have been looking at replacing my mine for the same reason as you stated. I made some email contact with them to verify that they sell my color. I believe these are the same people on Ebay that jamie7375 mentioned. They have videos on their website showing the install and it does not look like it will be hard to do. I will probably be getting them in the next month.

I just went through this myself. Scored a used set of Wet Okele seat covers. Wife actually got them for me for Christmas. My butt warmers work fine with these. Check of the pics here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...on-update.html. I believe new they are about $250 a row of seats. Good luck, John

I got these neoprene seat covers from Costco online. They're custom made and takes a couple of weeks. They're made to order about $400 or so.

I checked out your photos, looks like they fit great! How do they fit around the flaps on the backs of the second row seats? If you could post a pic that would be great!

Are they too far gone that repair is not an option ?

if not, Call your dealer and ask them where they get their repairs done...

I had the same leather bolster repaired and replaced for < $100 on my jeep grand cherokee....

Unfortunately they cover the flaps completely rendering them useless. Wife used to do upholstery so this spring when it warms up we will address this issue.

couldn't the flaps be easily removed by unscrewing the screws on the bottom hinge,
then they could be replaced on top the covers in the same mounting position ?
