I decided to order some of the replacement material from SMS auto fabrics after seeing a post on Mud (sorry can't find the previous discussion).

It'll be nice to fix the driver's and rear bench seats.

Hopefully this helps everyone who wants to repair their seats.

This was from the original post and was the info I used to place the order.

It did take a couple of weeks to get the material, but some of that was probably because of the holiday weekend

$119 per yard?!!!!!!!!!

Looks like it matches well for those going for the restoration look.

that’s about the same price as getting leather!!

I just dropped off my door panels for them to rebuild for me. More to come.

Holy Stromboli! That a lot of moulah for a yard of fabric. Are there any other options out there for restoring a seat that you know of?

Frequently people will buy rear bench seats and take the material over to a upholstery shop to use to re-do door cards and front seats. The front seats always have more wear and the rears tend to be in better shape and have lots of material to work with.

Hi, The back seat material is getting thin on these and not worth using if it's a daily driver with kids and dogs. Mike

I bought one yard and had my driver seat redone. Turned out very nice, not much left over. Expensive? Yes, but the rest of my interior is in good shape so this was a good way to go.

Was that enough for the bottom and back or just the bottom?

One yard did my entire driver seat. He reused the vinyl and whatever they call the little bead that separates the panels.

EMac what did the uphosterer charge you if you dont mind saying?

 

[emac]

I think less than $100

 

[SteveH]

Looks excellent. I don't think that the material cost is that outrageous. How many yards do you think they will ever sell?

Sweet! I couldn’t find this fabric anywhere!

I just called about it today. “Doug” says they have it but the price has gone up. $129/yard. I’m gonna order a yard or two tomorrow

Does anyone know what model or description to use for this fabric? Trying to figure out what I need to ask for on the phone. Thanks

I don’t know that, but I do have an entire rear seat back gray upholstery if anyone wants to use that instead. It’s in great shape, just needed the seat structure and not the fabric. $75 plus shipping.
