So this tear began a little while back and has been getting worse. What are my options for fixing this? I've heard of some type of glue for vinyl seats that could fix it. I don't think I've seen interior like this on any else's truck.

Keep in mind I was thinking of having the seat cut down to a bucket for my expo center console.

 

On a side note, if I ever found a passenger seat identical to mine, could I just replace the driver seat with that passenger seat, or will it not bolt up right?

 

the bottoms are different and mirrored doesnt work. why not just get 2 new seats personally

 

Well I like the seats, and I'm concerned with the cost of getting new seats.

Whats the price range on getting expo, sport trac, or ranger buckets out of junkers?

I still would like to know about fixing it

there ya go lol

 

He didn't have any I wanted

 

that sucks

 

get some good wax and buff it out

 

Wish I could lol

 

you can either take it to an upholstery shop and get it replaced, or you can get a passenger side bottom and bolt it into your driver seat. it will make the driver seat a bucket, which sounds like what you want to do.

 

Can you get those separate?

 

what do you mean?

 

The tops and bottoms of the seat, or are you referring to finding a seat out of a junkyard truck?

 

yeah, in a jy. or even ebay. you would probably have to buy the entire seat, but you can swap the lower pan from a passenger seat to the driver's seat to make buckets.

 

I gotcha, hopefully I can find one just like mine

 

if you get a bottom from the passenger side the recline lever will be on the wrong side.

 

Crap I didn't even think of that

 

no it wouldn't be! you are only swapping the metal seat pan, foam and cover. the recline lever is part of the seat frame, a part you won't be swapping. there will be a leftover hole on the inside of the drivers seat, but that would be hidden by the console.

 

I gotcha, well looks like I need to make some junkyard runs. If anyone in or around MO finds what I'm looking for at a good price, let me know.

 

I was thinking of just the same thing but ended up finding some Ex Seats so went that way but I would think the cushion part of the passenger seat would be a direct replacement BUT you lose the arm rest/mini console.

Luck and post what you end up doing this could start a whole new bucket seat mod.
