Seat Covers are Getting a Little Tired..........

[dukmon]

You know the spot... outer bolster just above the seat controls. Leather had been creased so many times at that location the leather finish has worked its way off.

Are these covers I can buy from the dealer/Beno or do I need to visit a witch doctor?

Is it time for me to upgrade to a 2013+?

Please opine. Thanks for your candor, prayers and time.

There's probably a leather guy in your area. We use a company (Gibble's near Manheim PA) that will stitch a new piece of leather into that spot really reasonably. Can't even tell that it was replaced. Pretty common repair on mid to late 2000's Toyota's.

That piece is not leather, unfortunately. Mine has almost split, and you can see it's vinyl with cloth backing.

You would not want to see the price tag of OEM seat covers.

Seriously.

Imma see sometime later today, when I have time.

There's a Myers Trim Shop in Greenville that does convertible tops and automotive upholstery. I have no experience with them but most of these shops do the same work. Found them online. Might be worth a shot, way less than a new seat cover.

Mine did that at 24k . Had to fight Toyota to fix it but they did do it

Myer's Trim Shop is close to my office, I've had them do some boat work for me in the past. Ok work. Horrendous cost.

I have a good trim guy, was wondering if factory replacement covers were available.

I would recommend going to the Escape Gear seat covers sold by Equipt. They are pretty much bullet proof.

These are the ones I run in my 70. Love them. Worth the wait.

How do the Escape Gears work with heated and cooled seats?

Escape Gear covers work great with heated seats. My 2011 doesn't have cooled seats, so I can't comment on that.

No issues with mine.
