Options for seat recovering?

RysRed96GT · Jun 29, 2006

I would like to repair my front leather seats. What are my options? Does the leather have the ability to be removed from the seats or do I have to buy new seats alltogether? Thanks.

you can recover the seats. i'll try to find the site for you.

You can either take the seats to a local auto upholstery shop and they can recover them for you, or you can purchase some customized replacment covers. Here's a site that sells KatSkin leather replacements: http://ayarinc.com/english/index.htm

Take it to a shop and they can build up you side and hip bolsters while they are at it.

for the price of recovering our seats you could probably find a used set in decent shape

Horsepower TV did a segment on recovering the seats in the Project Nightmare Mustang. Anyone know if this is the same company they used ?

I saw the episode a long time ago and havn't been able to find the info using Google.

.....and yes, holy thread resurection batman !

If you are looking for a stock replacement, you will be better off buying a cover kit and installing yourself. It is not that hard to do if you take your time. The covers are simply attached to the seat frame with hog rings and or "J" clips. It will cost alot more if you go to an upholstery shop.

I'm looking for a DIY solutions. I should provably also replace the seat foam... 130,000+ miles will wear down the seat foam...

katskinz??????

Rusty67 · Sep 10, 2008

I think that might have been the one. I've contacted them. I'll post when I find out the cost.

Autoleathers.com sells the kits. It's at least $700, and for that you can pick up a mint set.

Rusty67 · Sep 10, 2008

I doubt it would be 700 for a seat cover and some seat buns. I recovered all the seats in my 67 and put new buns in the front seats for less then 500.

Rusty67 · Sep 11, 2008

Ok, I was doubtful and I was WRONG. The reseller they reffered me to wanted 700 bux just for covers for the front and rear seats, no buns included. They said that is a Ford only item. I replied back and told them I didn't need the rear seat covers and that only knocked it down 150 bux. So for 2 seat covers they want 550. Then they said another 300 for labor to do the two front seats. Do they realize I'm a hardcore DIYer ? I guess not.

Anyways, looks like you were right. I might as well upgrade to Cobra front buckets =)

04YELLOWGT · Sep 12, 2008

HAHA you think that is bad. Ford wanted $575 for the top cover of ONE front seat for an 03 Cobra seat.

So I could recover 1/2 of 1 seat for almost $600. LOL........NO

Rusty67 · Sep 13, 2008

That is REALLY bad. I think I'm just going to upgrade to 03-04 Cobra buckets. Time to start scouring ebay and the classifieds.

I know a guy that has a black/black 04 Cobra set for $1100 + shipping I think. PM me if interested.
