Just wondered if any one who's re-upholstered their seats traced the pieces out and scanned them to save the patterns. My Driver bolster is worn out, spewing foam.

I think the fabric is intact enough to make a pattern though.

Has anybody grafted new foam onto their old seat bolster? What kind did you use and where to look? There aren't very many junk yards around here, so need something readily available at chain type stores/ fabric shops. Did I mention cheap?

Anyone found a good match for the bolster fabric(tan)? If I can get away with it, I'd prefer to only redo the parts that need replacement, to save time with seam ripping and sewing.

Thanks

Have you tried taking the stock seat covers off? if they are the ones I'm thinking of they are held in place by 1000 little c shaped staple like things that will drive you mad before you get them disassembled [Then again I may be thinking of another seat from another car so if so - don't mind me]
I'm very interested to find to what it'll take to replace these covers.
