i was thinking a piece of leather glued over the area ad to the seat would work.. any other ideas?

Find someone that converted their seats to leather and buy the covers off of them. You can find them on Ebay sometimes or the Fiero store carries new ones.

I understand that the rear bolster upholstery is the same on both the drivers & passengers seat. I would post to the forum & see if anyone would sell you a cover.

ah, but arent, like 90% of the seats have the same tears?

I was actually in a boneyard today that had a bunch of Fieros. Two of them had drivers seats without tears, or holes of any sort.

Or you could always just take out the bad panel and sow in a good one. Sowing the new panels in isn't easy but it isn't rocket science

The uphostery on Fiero seats is completely interchangeable from drivers to passenger side. The hole for the pivot bolt in the passenger side is hidden against the console carpet when installed on the driver's side. A $15 hog ring pliers and a pound of hog rings ($1.50 from the local upholstery supply) and an afternoon's relaxed work is all that's needed to swap out the sides.

Just an "I agree" for the above post. I've even switched the bottom fabric over, couldn't tell it wasn't original! I bought a cheap hog-ring set from JC Whitney, but the day I went to do the seat I forgot the kit at a friend's house! So I had to do it with small vicegrips and re-use the original rings. Still worked great though! And better than paying for new if it's not a "show car".

soo, who wants to grab me a drivers side cover? i'll trade a stock steeringwheel, ebrake boot, and working stock radio.. sweet deal! hehe

I just did sell a tan upper seat skin in good shape. to someone on the forum. Just waiting for the money to get here. If he decides he doesn't want it, I'll let you know.

Mr Mikes seat covers fix those problems very nicely.
