Default Front Passenger Seat

Does anybody know some good places where I can buy a black front passenger seat? Last Thursday one of my clients urinated themselves while they were sitting in my truck and completed soaked my seat. I had left it with a carpet cleaning shop and they did their urination package on the truck, but after getting in the truck today I could definitely still smell the urine pretty prevalently. Your help would be appreciated a lot.

My guess is Vetrinarian (or similar) or he deals with mental patients?

For a quick and to the point job description; I work with clients that have developmental disabilities. The client I work with has never done this before, and she knows we love our vehicles. I picked her up and had her get into the truck while I conversed with the other staff. When I got inside my truck to leave she had this weird look on her face and I knew something was wrong. I looked down at her and her entire pants were saturated in urine. I was in shock and just tried to pretend I didn't just see what I saw. I was even more frustrated because usually I have her sit on a pad that protects against stuff like this, but nope I had no pad, just pure cloth seat. I was hoping the carpet shop could totally eliminate the smell, but I was getting little woffs of it today when I'd get inside my truck. It's better than what it was, but I know I will be needing to buy a new damn seat.

So this goes back to my original question; does anyone know a place to shop for a used seat for cheap??

Well back to the task at hand I would first off check a local salvage yard. I know here in Edmonton there is a specialty wrecker that only buys newer insurance total losses and parts them out. That would option 1. Umm the other way you could do it is take off the seat cover and the foam and buy replacement pieces. I bet the parts and labor alone for option 2 will make it the least economical. I'm assuming these are the cloth seats yes? which should make them more available in a wreckers yard than a leather seat.

I commend you on your job!!! I have a handicapped son and know what a challenge it can be sometimes.
Maybe an upholstery shop can recover the seat and replace the foam for as reasonable price.

I'm putting katzkins on mine next monday. If you buy the new foam for the seat I could probably work you out a deal on my old black cover.

Pm m if you're interested.
