I've had my torn driver's seat recovered by a local upholstery shop a couple years and it looks great. Now, my black leather rear seat bottom has tears all over it and needs replacement. The shop wants $350 just for the rear seat bottom though. I can't justify spending that much for a partial back seat cover. I called a couple other shops and they also want $350-$400. The cushion is in great shape, just the cover needs replacement.

Has anyone found a cover or DIY replacement that looks/fits really good and is a little less expensive?

I've searched the forums and read through about a dozen threads. There are some options for the coupe, but I didn't see anything that applies to a 2006 sedan rear seat.

I looked online and see lots of semi-custom stuff that clips on for $60-120, but none look very good. I'll go this route if someone found a really nice-fitting version, even if it's like $200.

Used, I see lots of entire seat bottoms, but they either have ripped covers or cost more than the having my seat reupholstered. I haven't seen anyone selling just a used cover.

 

car-part.com / ebay / junkyard and replace the entire rear seat for a hundred or two

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I've been looking at used rear seats online (ebay/car-part) and in-person at local junkyards for a couple months and didn't find any that weren't ripped or damaged just like mine. I guess I will just buy a random universal cover and accept that it's not going to fit or look good. I'll update here if I happen to find something that has a good fit...

 

Try Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace. Expand your searches. Call junkyards 1-2-3 hours away from your location. They're out there.

It's just a matter of how far you are willing to drive to get a good one.
