Does anyone know of anywhere that does replacement upholstery, tailored covers or another solution to repair this:

Alternatively does anyone have this fabric in good condition for sale? upholstery removed from a rear bench that could be patched in or decent passenger seat???

I've had a quote for getting the seat base repaired but that's dependent on fining some donor material.

In know this is a common issue so wondered what other people have done.

thanks

Could be easier to find a good order pass seat and swap the seat runners across?

Happy to do that but I've been looking for a couple months already. Someone on here was selling some but I didn't confirm quick enough and missed out.

Some slip on covers might be the answer in the meantime, but don't want them too flappy
