You would have to remove your damaged seat skins, ship them to the USA ebay supplier who ships them to China for color matching, pattern making, and fabrication of the new skins. Then wait a month to get your replacements.
That is a lot of diesel.

Yep!

o[/coloroOk....good news!!! I found a reupholster in Sanford Florida that will completely rebuild my "shading" front captains seats.He uses marine grade heavy duty final( it withstands salt water!!) ...when he saw the condition of my seats he found it hard to believe that PC had allowed such a cheap phony leather(final) to be used on their seats.For $325 each seat, he will remove the crummy seat cover /cover the spring lines(the part that the farm squishes into when you sit on the seat) replace the rather cheap foam with a higher density foam...your behind will feel much better after 2 or 3 hundred miles..same with the back foam padding and have them back to me in a week!The business name is..2nd generation upholstery,2867 Stonewall Place,Sanford Florida,32773, phone 407-800-6501. Please note there is not room to leave your rv there...if you live reasonably near, you have to bring the seats to him.....maybe you could ship them if you live too far away......anyhow , take a look at his website...he does great reasonable work.....

OK, I went with PC, and bought 3 new leather coverings for the two captains, and the Euro recliner. Did the replacement work myself on the Euro, but had a professional do the captains. Good choice as Arm Rests were improperly installed, and would not come off. Had to cut the old fabric and the foam, to re-align the plates, so the key hole would allow the armrests to pull out to be removed. Captains were a real pain because old was glued to the foam, (not a good idea), so my guy had to take the new covers, and sew in a hem so the seat portions would work correctly. Glad this job is done. They look great...
