Any one found a cost effective way of repairing tear or replacing leather. Called stealership today for replacement leather seat cover for cushion which cost $1481, ha!

Any aftermarket alternatives besides replacing seats?

 

Interested in this as well, subscribed to see responses....

 

I was told that they can take the side boulster off where the rip is and piece in new leather and new cushion for like $250/$300..

 

Thanks for above reply. Got a quote from local upholstery shop to redo side panel seat vinyl and replace side cushion bolster for $220. Not bad, I guess, but pretty costly for a $15 piece of vinyl.

 

Nice!! Get it done and post pics so we can see how it turned out.. I'm gonna do mine in the spring..

 

If there is anyone located in the bay are I can handle it for you. If not just find your local trim shop and the $250-$300 price sounds fair for a repair.

 

ive had mine repaired/replaced at local repair shop only $115. they removed the ripped panel and replaced it with a new vinyl piece. looks jus like oem and they did the tsb for me

 

Nice!! Post some pics!!

 

That is about the right price for a vinyl repair and defiantly a good cheaper option. If you want the real leather it will be in the $250-$300 range just cause of the price of material. It all comes down to what you want. The vinyl now looks and feels so real not any people would ever know unless they were very familiar with materials.

 

feels alot thicker and stronger too.

 

What was the tsb?? They trimmed the metal that ripped the leather??

 

I luv how my passenger seat feels.. It's so much tighter feeling.. I can't wait to get my driver seat done..

 

^yea . will post pic of the repaired piece later for u

 

I found the whole piece of foam for the bottom of the driver seat from the dealer.. Just need the leather replaced..
