Rear Seat Upholstery

[No Signal]

Looking for upholstery options for my rear seats.


Original seats: Can I send the leather to the West Coast or Hawaii (where I live) to have them rebuilt? Didn't want to order new leather if I could help it, then the entire backend would look mismatched. That said, my front seats are vinyl, which the previous owner replaced. I'll get leather eventually. Thanks for the help!

My '80 SC had the same problem: after some 45 years the rear seat substrate had turned into a crumbling mess. So, in place of the original substrate, I used rather stiff piece of foam tha was cut to fit inside the original seat covers. I then secured the cover and foam in the car using a 2-inch dab of contact cement on the bottom center of each seat foam and corresponding area in each seat well in the car.

The end result looks great and was quite easy to do.

Jason,

Thanks, I'll try to find the materials to make that happen!
