This is a copy and paste from FB folks. Im tired of writing.
So, this is a bit of a rant and a bit of technical information for you wagon owners.
Last week I picked up the newly reupholstered rear seat for my wagon. This seat was redone in NOS Olds medium gray cloths and vinyl that was purchased from SMS Auto Fabrics. Im sure some folks will think it was a lot of money but 12 yards of OEM cloths was $1030 delivered to my door. Yup. a pretty big hit.
So now the good news. The rear seat looked amazing. Seams were perfect. Color went well with the gray that I used on the plastic.
The first shop I took the front and rear seats to wanted $3400 to redo them. Yup. The prices in my area are all pretty much the same but I found a guy that did both seats for $2K.
So today I put the seat bottom in the car and I could see there was a problem with the fit. There was a huge gap from the back of the seat to the floor.
Long story short, for any of you guys that think a sedan seat and wagon seat are interchangeable YOURE WRONG !!!
So now Im going back to the shop that did the seat. Theres hopefully enough material left to redo the original seat. Am I pissed ? You could say that. Its not a good day. lol
