Anyone with a good conscious wouldn't sell that mirror without letting someone know. Now giving it away free to someone who needs it

Yeah but that is the problem without seeing it in your hands it looks pristine so I would skip any of them for sale with no return policy on ebay.Anyone with a good conscious wouldn't sell that mirror without letting someone know. Now giving it away free to someone who needs it

Ordered front seat leather for both seats and a new heater for the drivers side since it's never worked since I've owned it.

Are you going to install or have it professionally installed?

Doing it myself, several videos out there so it seems not too bad.
Plus the seatshop seems to be the best quality out there and of course the most expensive

Maybe you can post some pics of your progress. Imo the hardest part would be the upper with the built in seatbelt.

I did mine with new foam, heater, and cover from The Seat Shop. Definitely great materials and guidance! When it came to stretching the cover over the seat I had to have my son help by standing on the upside-down seat bottom to get the foam to squish enough to roll the plastic retainer over the sharp edge of the frame. Be careful with that sharp metal!

You could also use steam to stretch the vinyl and or leather. Much more pliable using steam.

Painted my rear seat with SEM looks 100% better now have to do the other side.
Why did I paint my seats you might ask, well that's a long story.
When I got the truck the drivers bottom was ripped and the passenger bottom was close to it. I knew a detail/paint correction, kinda do it all guy who said he could fix the seats - yeah this is where it all went wrong.
So I go to pick it up and he replaced the drivers cover and used basically a type of bondo for leather on the passengers seat, the kicker was he says you can't get the original color int dye so he had to "custom" mix some dye....
So the color was close but has too much blue in it and now if I change any part the color won't match hence why I am painting the rear because yes he painted the rear to match the front. Plus I am sure he used paint which is why the drivers seat didn't last a year before cracking and the top cover is cracking as well.
So when I redo the leather on the front I will also need to fix all the overspray on the plastic molding pieces as well.
