Reupholstering?

Post by entirelyturbo »

My driver's seat is showing its age a bit, the bolstering has a typical tear from getting in/out all the time, it's a bit dirty, and I took the rubber out of the tubing around the back because it got torn out and stretched before, so I just yanked it out.

That said, I wonder what my possibilities are for reupholstering that seat. For some reason, I have a feeling the dealer is gonna have a really hard time getting a new seat cover for a 91 Legacy, and if they do, I'll probably get reamed. The rest of the seats look like they've never been sat in, so they're good.

Any ideas, should I go to the stealer, or should I reupholster everything in a different fabric?

I seriously doubt that a JY seat is going to be as good of shape as the rest of my seats. They literally look new. All the BC/BF's in the yard that I've seen are much worse than mine...

I might have an offer on RS seats, but they're black and the interior is grey... :?
