Hey guys, the front seats in my 89 Brougham are beat. They're leather, and the d'elegance style. There's rips along the seams, and other places, overall they've been very well "used". I've been looking into fixing them, reluctant to have them reupholstered for fear of high prices and a job that won't be anywhere near as good as factory.
Recently I found a car in Missouri with perfect seats, right style and color, and in GREAT shape. I'd love to have them shipped to Massachusetts where I live, but that seems like it will cost around 300 dollars. Quite a bit, certainly.
Anyway, the guy selling me the seats brought up the possibility of just sending me the covers, but I have to ask, is that possible? With the buttons on the d'elegance seats, and the high quality of the stitch work, it seems like taking them off and putting them back on a new seat would be a lot of work, plus he would probably have to pay someone on his end to take the covers off.
Anyway, let me just ask, is that possible? To transplant the upholstery from one seat to the next with relatively little difficulty?
