My driver leather seat lower panel seam has split.
The local auto upholsterer apparently gets as much an hour as eye surgeons,
so I checked the boneyard for likely candidates. There's a few likely
candidates including a set of fabric front seats in good condition for $100.
Does anyone know which year/model seats are compatible with the 95 850 sedan?

Plan B might be to sew up that seam, but how? Does the the lower seat assembly
(leather) pull off the frame and get turned inside out to get sewn? If so maybe it's do-able with a hand awl gizmo?
