Replace my front seats?

[DuckHunter]

My 02 yukon front seats have some wear on them, the passenger front seat very little. The driver seat has a good rip in it aswell as the armrest is worn. Would it be easier just to buy a used set or have them repaired? I have heated seats aswell. Cant seem to find anyone close to where i stay that does repairs, closest one i found was about an hr and of course i have to drive there first just to get a estimant. Thought about seat covers but just doesnt seem right. Idk what do yall think? Thanks

You're correct, seat covers aren't right, lol. Price wise, I would have them repaired unless you could find a great deal from a wrecked vehicle but I still think repairing them would be cheaper, imo.

I just ordered replacement seat covers from the seat shop: http://myworld.ebay.com/theseatshop/&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2754

~$400.00 ;

they have "how to" videos on youtube and it didn't look all that bad... hopefully I'll post the project..expecting them next week.

Be careful on some of those "leather" covers...they're vinyl. Better to go with Katzkin as you get what you par for with seat covers. Unless cheap vinyl that may tear, rip in 6 months is ok

does the dealer sell the cover?

I would check with a smaller car dealer. They use guys that can repair the Leather or vinyl like leather by the panel. Usually around $150 a panel.

just to clarify, the covers at http://www.theseatshop.com/ are exactly like the factory, leather in the seating area, vinyl on the sides. They (top and bottom and armrest) installed easily with the video help and look awesome. You'll want to clean the passenger seat to remove the shine as it clashes, but finally I get to open my door and not see a crappy armrest cover or jacked seat. If I were to do it again, I would order the new foam and maybe even the seat belt. and no, I don't work for those guys...

This is what I have wondered. I am sure it will cost more, but may be worth buying one and stashing it, until the other one is shot.

my lower cushion is shot so is the leather and armrest on the drivers side. so thats all i need replacing.
