Re: Seat upholstery

Hi Ryan, might sound like a dodgy suggestion but have you thought of covering it up with a seat cover?

From time to time a seller on eBay "trimworldonline" sells the complete set for around $220. I got a set about two years ago to replace mine should the need arise . The seat covers are removed off Prados when the owner chooses the leather option prior to delivery to the dealership . Peace of mind having the set as back-up if the kids ever spill something I cannot remove with a good clean .

Re: Seat upholstery

Hi Ryancal.
My Kzj95R has a small rip in the outside edge of the drivers seat. My upholsterer suggested taking a matching panel off the centre of the back seat to use on the repair and replacing the borrowed panel with a new material which won't look out of place. A type of repair frequently used in car yards. Cheers, Derb.
