If you don’t know what you want iceman, keep it in the appropriate section.
There is no lumbar support handle on the passenger’s side so once you take the skin off all you have to to is make a hole for the handle to pop thru on the driver’s side. If you are going to patch a seat without taking the skin off to sew it properly, its going to look worse than having a rip on your seat. So since the skin will have to come off anyway, why not put one on from a passenger seat? I don’t see how that’s more difficult It is actually much easier to take one skin off then put on a diffrent one, rather than sewing on pieces of an old couch to hide the rips. :!:
Point taken…but is there not a subtle difference between the seats (passenger and driver’s) that would become noticible once the skins are swapped? I’m thinking that the main verticle lines on the back and seat would be somewhat off, and ultimately stand out. I really wanted to talk to someone who had done this type of thing previously so that I would know for sure. I don’t want to get the skin off the passenger seat, put it on the driver’s seat, and find out they’re off. Good point about having to take the seats skin off anyways to sew a patch in, I didn’t even clue in to that :roll: .
I just did this I got the top section from the passengers side at the junk yard. You take the top and bottom of the seat apart and you remove the whole top section (the part that your back touches not the part that your butt touches) including the foam cause the upholstry is attached to the foam and you just swap you can do this with the bottom portion aswell. I did this on a 1990 240sx se with a cloth interior so it might be different for leather but I doubt it.
Are you talking pasenger’s seat skin to driver’s seat? And I don’t think this applies because the cloth seats don’t have definite lines (creases) in the seat. They are pretty smooth (if I remember correctly :? ).
