Darn. I was hoping you had a source in Iowa or someplace. I have never been taught how to darn leather so I will need to find someone to do it for me in the Twin Cities area. The driver's seat needs new foam, heated seat element, and possible springs/wire net. The pass seat has dried out so much that the stitching seams have separated in the center of the seatback, so it too needs to be replaced. The rear seat is still in one piece, but in very ugly condition.
I was hoping to drive to a shop today and have them give me an estimate. I will let you know how much that will hurt. I wonder if preforated vinyl would be cheaper and still allow for a heated seat? Sure does get cold up here for 5 months in a row.
