I’ve got a 2001 F250 whose leather has seen better days. 5 years ago the perforated leather started getting small cracks so I simply got some good quality neoprene covers. A few weeks ago the stitching started coming undone in a spot. I don’t want to ruin the seats by doing nothing. I’ve gone to a local auto upholstery shop in Santa Fe,and he told me it’ll be $600 a seat for him to replace them. He did say that he’ll install replacement leather covers if I buy them for $100 labor. This is for the front seats, the rest are in good shape.
I went to my Ford dealer and found out that Ford has deemed the an “obsolete part”. That said, I’ve started looking online for them. I’ve seen them priced all over the place. eBay had seat bottoms for $135 and backs for $200 per seat. Theseatshop.com has them for $800 for both seats and Lseats.com has front set for $299.
Has anyone here had to go through this? I don’t want to screw myself over by cheaping out, but also don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?
