What do you do when you have seats that aren't electrical but you really want to replace them with leather seats? Are non-electrical leather seats completely unheard of or something? What about having like seats reupholstered with leather? Does that even work? It sounds like it would cost an ungodly amount. I'm basically just asking if anyone has found a way to have leather, manual seats lol.

An upholstery shop put cloth inserts into a vinyl set for me. A good shop can do leather - if you have the money and do not mind waiting. The restoration place prices scare me, and a sport seat will not fit a regular seat (in most cases).

It will be better to have your seats reupholstered Ford "leather" is not leather or crappy leather so used seats would not be as good as recovering yours with good leather. Get a quote...

I have manual leather seats. They are in pretty good shape. Just some wear on the outer edge of the driver side. They are black as well.
