Holy $@&! Gone in two days?! That's one hell of a leak brother! Tryin to find that leak should be like tryin to hit a broad side of a barn at 10 feet lol
Took the mechanic all of 5 seconds to find it once he put dye in the system.

Leak was coming from the rear AC. Quoted me $1600 to replace it.

I said F that. I had him cap the line, charge the system, and $200 later, I have ice cold AC....up front anyway. I never use the rear AC.

I have a before somewhere, but y'all know what a torn driver seat looks like. Here is a during...no finished pics of it molded to seat.

Paid something like $65 after 20% off discount on eBay. Paid $5 for high density foam. Had some duct tape and a hotknife in the garage to mold foam.....and yes previous owner already had covers done and obviously kept the 2001 foam cushion. Previous cover lasted 6 years so we shall see. If I can get 12-18 months out of it I won't be mad about the minimal expense

Then I fought with it for about 45 mins...to get it here.

Then I had to cut the hole for the controls.

Then the final product, all controls and heated seats work.

Looks great. Amazing how nasty the foam gets.

See, my leather is fine but I need more foam, especially now that my travel distance to the ground is much further :rolleyes:
