Rbrick Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I want to replace the seat skin on the back of my driver's seat. Passenger side seat skins are usually in better condition. Will a passenger side seat skin fit a divers seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpin Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have some tan R's that I am going to swap out with but I am stuck not knowing what to do with the head rest zipper. There is no zipper pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockpartie Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 There should be a zipper pull. It's tucked away "into" the headrest. Conveniently the zipper is longer than it needs to be so you can pry it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skloon Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have done it on a 94 and 95 no airbags and the console hides the extra hole on the drivers side- the next plan is s60 seats in the 850 and the 850 seats into the Dodge motorhome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Ooooo I want some new tan R seat bottoms. Anybody know how often those show up? My driver looks badNot often. In good condition at least. Maybe I've missed it, but Adam's were the first I've seen for sale in 5+ years, and I bought them within hours of him putting them up lol. It seems like tan is rare compared to charcoal. There are some wagon tan R rears on ebay right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCapn Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks! Figured they didn't show up too much. I've broken enough things trying to fix others at the moment so short on funds. Damned old plastic, it's like every mummy movie when they open up a sarcophagus, air hits it and it's dust..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunks850R Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 do what I did, check your local junk yards for good seats. Then go to home depot and buy a hog clip kit for under 10 bucks and get a good set of side cutters and swap the leather. This is assuming there are no huge holes. if there is not, then if you have any friends who work at a dealership, go down there during the day and ask him or the used car manager when the upholstery reconditioning guy comes by(ours is here once or twice a week, some places actually do it in house though). I was this[--]close to swapping out the front seats in my S60R, but then I paid our guy 80 bucks and he reconditioned mine to new. a year later, it still looked good. One thing ive learned in the car business (F&I manager) is that a lot of the products they use vs. what we can buy at the store are 2 totally different qualities(flexing agents in the dye to make it last longer, the 3m double sided tape the body shop gets vs what we can buy are look the same but theirs is TOTALLY better and so on). , plus they tend to have many more different color combos then we do to match your interior. My guy can repair holes that are around an inch of 2 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
