Factory/OEM Cloth Seat Cover Replacements?

[BlackWorksInc]

Has anyone found any good sources for replacement seat covers for 4th gens? Not the kind that slip over your existing seats, I'm looking for factory style upholstery that will need to be hog ringed and such.

Most, if not all the interior upholstery for our 4th gens is no longer in production it seems (save for maybe a headliner and carpet); particularly the Dark Grey (FA13) interior cloth. Spent most of the afternoon trying to find either some old stock factory parts or a company that sells similar parts. Unfortunately it seems no one makes anything but direct fit leather seats (not particularly thrilled with leather seats in general...)

Was wondering if anyone knew any online distributors before I start tryin to cold call the upholstery shops in town for custom quotes.

have you try to take yours apart to wash them? i forgot whos the go to for used parts here. maybe some wrecking yard that you need to disassemble the seat yourself.

also is this the part number?
71073-35A30-E1
71073-35A40-B2
71074-35710-B2
71074-35710-E1

seat bottom
71071-35A11-E1
71071-35A12-B1
71072-35262-B1
71072-35262-E1

im sure someone here who did a complete leather replacement can hook you up with there cloth set.

No, I need the ones that end in B3 for the Dark Grey that was used on Sport Editions and I think some Limiteds? Weirdly enough these part numbers seem to correlate with side curtain airbags (in the seat), but they're also the only part numbers that are the correct color; so I am guessing the part numbers were just consolidated over time (since they've been superseded a couple times).

It's not that mine are dirty, it's that the fabric is wearing away. I have had to resew the seams before from them pulling apart, so I'm no stranger to repairing them (I think I've mentioned it in my build thread?). But the fabric is starting to wear through and getting close to showing holes at the edge of the cover and there's nothing I can really do with that beyond having an upholstery shop try and match materials and replace that section if that's even cost effective.

I may end up just buying a junkyard seat in good condition and either swapping it out or stripping it for parts. Found a few possible candidates for around $100, but shipping is like $250-300, so I may see if I can get it cheaper through my dealership to save on the shipping.

your locak junk yard might be cheaper, i saw some from ahparts.com

also cheapest seat cover i can find is from Auto seat covers, floor mats and accessories - FH Group(R)

with using the coupon codes, it might be worth it for some protection, ill let you know when i get clazzio if you want my wet okole.

Mine were leather replacements from leatherseats.com. I don't know of anyone that does cloth replacement covers.

Nobody seems to... Which is a shame because I'd honestly pay a good price for a quality factory style seat cover made from something nice and tough like those Carharrt slip-ons or even a quality made Cordura over leather.

I'm waiting to hear back from my parts manager if they can save me a couple hundred on shipping by ordering a used seat from our wrecker through the dealership.

Similar subject. My driver seat lower cushion is shot. Hurting my back. I have a good price on a new cushion. Is it easy to swap out the cushion?

It's not too hard, you'll remove the seat from the vehicle and then cut the hot rings holding the cover to the seat and cushion.

I thought I took pictures on my build thread... oh well, I'll take new ones when I get the used seat and install it

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but when working on the driver side seat in my 05, I was not able to source a seat back (71551-35100) as it is NLA from Toyota. With that being said, I went with 71551-35101, which is listed as 06-09. No fitment issues.
