The back seat

[Pete Rock98]

The stitching on the top of the back seat is starting to seperate.How do you remove the top back seat cover.

Why not repair the seat while in the car?

[Pete Rock98]

How, I tried to sew it I could not do it.

What area of the seat is coming apart? You might need a curved needle for some extra clearance to sew. If anything, I am tempted to say the hinges are bolted to the floorboard. Try folding the rear seats down to see if you find the hinges.

I take a pic and post it later .

I removed the rear seat and I'm taking it to a Interior shop.

Good idea. I don't imagine it should cost too much.

Not a bad idea to let a pro go at it. Upholstery stuff can be tricky and it pays to have the end result look right.

Are those last pictures from what you did, or the shop?

[Pete Rock98]

That's what I did ,they told me it needs new leather on both sides they can not repair it ,Im looking to buy a new seat or seat cover ,I called the dealer and he told the leather seat covers are discontinued.

I asked about reupholstering my seats and the shop told me something similar. But they said that just taking off the leather pieces would require new ones, since they cannot sew through the same holes as the original. The shop ought to be able to get the factory color and sew it on. It should look just like new. I had to replace my convertible top a couple years ago (at an upholstery shop). When I got it back, the car looked like a brand new ride.

For the amount of leather you're looking at with the back seat, I'd guess it's be getting close to $1000, including materials.

[Pete Rock98]

I'm going to buy a used seat a lot of people are parting out cars.

[pajeff02]

There are aftermarket seat options as well.

[Pete Rock98]

What I didn't like about the aftermarket was the ones I seen where vinyl.

[Naaman]

Aren't the stock seats vinyl?
