you can buy brand new seat skins here: http://elwoodindustries.com/id65.html

but there pricey! but high quality work.. as good or better than original.

reminds me of when i put leather conditioner, becomes like ice!
I didn't even think about it when I bought them, but the first time I did some cornering with them I was like "wait, I'm not sliding around". Especially that upper back suede insert. You. Do. Not. Move.

Wow! Those seats look real nice. I have told people that our S70 seats are more comfortable than our 850 seats. Our 850 seats are not bad but the S70 seats are the most comfortable that I have ever experienced.

I did use zip ties to put my seats together after fixing the recline feature. If those zip ties streatch or break before my car is 30 years old, I'm going to Wal-Mart and demanding my money back. LOL

BTW, Those seat covers are not really that bad. They are about 40 cents on the dollar.

I'm about to take my drivers seat out to try to close the seam that came apart until I can afford new ones.

As for sliding around in your leater seats and having them last 50 years instead of 15, condition them with lexol and you will not slide around. Leather seats should never be cleaned with any type of cleaner like 409 or other household cleaners that you can't drink. If by chance they need cleaned, use saddle soap and follow that up with some good leather conditioner like lexol and they will outlast the car by far.
