has anyone used a ulphostery shop to rebuild their seat ? i cant find any used seats around my area that arent right color or trashed already from sitting in u pull it lots with mildew.. someone advised a car uplolstery places could rebuild the seatback so it latches and doesnt swing forward or backwards.. propping a board behind me is getting old

 

What kind of seats do you have?

A shop should do fine except the latch that could be a problem you may need to get the Junker seats anyway just for the latch.

Get estimates from 3 or more shops if you have that many

A good auto upholstery shop should be able to get you anything you want at a price of coarse.

 

yeah we have the 40/20/40 seats.. i wish we had buckets i can find them all day long..if i could transplant buckets i woulda care if i had a gap or had to take out the 20 part of my seat..the junker seats im finding are all been exposed to the elements so im trying to avoid mildew and stenches im an ex smoker so i dont mind smoke a lil fabreze never hurt..

 

I like my bench seats better than the buckets I tried them back in 1998 when I got my Dakota they pinched in my legs too much. I had my bench seat customized at purchase time at a custom shop cloth way better.

Like this one?

were going to goto a local ulpostery guy and see if he can fix the seat.. we cant locally find any replacements other then driving 100 miles to find one,.. so were see what he says on thursday..

 

I had the same problem with my seats. I figured by the time I bought new hinges and had the seats recovered/repaired, I could just about buy new ones. So, that's what I did. I bought a set of Corbeau bucket seats with brackets to fit and I'm happy I did.
