#2: Re: Restoring stock seat upholstery
Posted on 2006-07-23 17:17:58 by ag564
I have a 93 Del Sol and the driver's seat has a tear on the outside
of the bolster. Most Del Sol seats wear out at that point.
I have been unable to find original fabric to recover them. I have
considered getting used seats and taking the fabric from the passenger's
seat and putting it on the driver's seat. I have also considered putting
a 'patch' on the wear spot, using a high grade vinyl. This would be
like leather patches on the elbows of a sweater. To get it to look
right, I would need to have mirror image patches done on both seats.
There are some higher quality seat covers that replace the original
upholstery. I have seen used versions of this kind of thing for sale
on eBay but in dreadful condition, so I wonder how long they last.
