Default Seat Covers -- Any Recommendations?

The front leather seats have finally cracked open. Do you have any recommendations of style, manufacturer and/or vendor for seat covers? It's my seventeen-year-old's car, so any style between boring and goofy will work.

Thanks,
John Martin

Check with the dealer I have seen many in cars and they say Volvo on them but not sure where they come from.

There is a company called Katskins or catskins or katskinz. One of these variations. Anyway, they make factory replacement seat covers in a shlew of colors and materials. Even two tone. They are really nice, and not too too pricey. I think they should be professionally installed though.

Hi,

If you're looking for a nice little project, you might try to restore the seat leather. Check out Leatherique.com. They sell a 'crack filler' to repair the seaats if they're not too far gone and custom matched dye. I've used their products on my 850 with very good results.

You can also check car-parts.com for used parts. They will have lots of seats available used.
