Default seat bottoms

Hey all,

Where does one go to find tan leather seat skins? The bottoms of my 95 850 are cracking and I thought I would look to try and find where to replace the bottoms. Is this possible? Or do they come in top and bottom only? I checked the usual suspects IE: FCP Groton, IPD etc. But no one has oem seat skins.

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

I think unless you have a shop make then you can only get them from the dealer.
But they are expensive from the dealer.

You might be able to repair them if they're not too far off. Try leatherique.com. They make a filler you can use on the cracks. Then you can actually redye the seats. I did it on my car and it came out pretty well.

There are a number of car upholstery sites on the internet that will do custom work - advertising that they can make replacement kits for any car. But you best bet would probably be a local auto upholstery or trim shop that does work for restorers. They should be able to obtain matching leather and recover the seat for you. I was quoted about $150 per seat plus materials to repair seats in my 96 Chrysler. Didn't think it was practical to do $400+ in upholstery on a 96 Cirrus, so I went with good quality sheepskin covers. So far, a good choice.
