    Seat Cover replacement new ebay seller

    No worries, I was surprised the bottom looked a bit darker in the photo above, but I realized that photo was taken in the dark with a flash. In my photo below, it was taken with a lot more natural light which made the old back look darker, in direct sunlight the match seemed even closer, IMO it...

    Seat Cover replacement new ebay seller

    That doesn't seem like a bad price, especially with installation as well, selling online takes me out of the installation picture... But as far as eBay products and things like that, I offer a replacement OEM seat bottom for 130.00 compared to other guys leather for 210.00 you save 80.00 going...

    Re-stitching leather seat bottom?

    I don't think so, if there was large areas of leather missing a patch would be your best option but since it's just begun and the gap is still small sewing the tear together is your best bet for now, and it's more low profile less chance to get snagged on things like the edges of a patch, you...

    Re-stitching leather seat bottom?

    I've done a few repairs like this. I recommend using upholstery thread or hand sewing thread, any bonded nylon or polyester basically. I use two curved needles tied together, it'll save you time and produces a better repair. I just thread it back and forth so it produces an "X" looking stitch...

    Seat Cover replacement new ebay seller

    Hi everyone, I'm the new eBay seller (wickedupholstery406) of these gen 3 seat covers. A couple of guys on here contacted me about this forum so I figured I'd join and see what it's all about.
