Hi Guys/Gals,

This forum is where I learn how to fix what I can on my 89 245 so thanks to all of you for generously sharing your knowledge. Last week I leaned on the driver side front seat while reaching into the back and something snapped inside the seat. Now the top third of the seat, including headrest, is kind of dangling and flopping around. So, I know that OEM replacement seats are virtually impossible to find, and since I drive for work (pizza) I don't have the couple of days it'd probably take me to tear the seat apart, find new foam, weld and rebuild the frame and then put it back together.

Any suggestions on replacement seats? I see some racing seats that claim universal fit out there, some of which seem to be in my budget - under $200/seat. There are some available on ebay for around $120/seat plus shipping that say they are in this or that brand's "style". I'm not looking for racing seats, that's just what I've found so far. An OEM replacement would be preferable, or something that's comfortable, but I need something soon that will protect me in a crash since having the headrest just flopping around is not cutting it.

Any help would be appreciated. And thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge and helping us keep these bricks on the road.

Dale
