Oddly-specific need... driver seat lower has begun to rip. Looking for a matching replacement, this is for a stock (otherwise near-mint) 88 Formula gray interior.


Thanks

I have a nice 85 CJ 7 Laredo Jeep. My driver side lower seat upholstery needed attention. A local upholstery shop said they could replace it, reupholster it to original appearance. They did. $400.00 back in, gosh, I do not remember. 2005 ?

Money well spent. I also purchased Mr Mikes seats for my Fiero, money well spent.

Prefer to keep things factory stock (and cost-effective), but Mr Mike's is the backup plan if this fails.

Perhaps these are still available...

No match, those have the side piping

Bump, still looking for an original lower.

I have cloth and leather samples from MrMikes but nothing's really speaking to me, here.

Where are you located??

Grayslake about 45 mins south from you

I take the covers off the seats because they are easy to store them.
I have 1988 formula ones in gray

I sell seat bottoms for $50
and
sell uppers for $80

Perfect! I will PM you...

gonna sound funny but find another passenger seat back and use the middle seat material to swap out. would be one for one and there is not a lot of wear in that location.

I measured that out last night and don't believe there would be enough end material to sew into and make it look right (the "grain" in the cloth may have to be turned 90-degrees).

Also considering long-term durability of material that dry-rots, plus expense of an upholsterer sewing it in: better off just reskinning it.
