2008 Leather Seat Replacement Covers

Anyone have tips on replacing the leather covers for the front seats on a 2008 MDX. The back and 3rd seat are fine, but the front ones would be nice to refresh w/o just replacing a few panels. Anyone know of a place that sells the factory replacement leathers for just the front?

You should contact one of our vendors:

See if he does anything for the MDX.

I found a local place that does some work I'm going to look at. Seems like dying leather seats can do amazing things. We'll see...

Somewhere on this site I found out about this dye:

From seatsrestore4u2 at gmail dot com

I got the 2 oz. touch up kit #MO1281 Taupe dye for $25

They offer a crack gap kit and clear top coat kits

It took care of the rubbed off dye on my drivers seat cushion.

Another option: www.iggee.com

They often have eBay deals and I know several guys on the mdxers . org site have them, including me.

I've had mine on for over a year and love 'em. Including tax, I got both fronts for under $200. I did the installation - about 1-2 hours. I would skip the headrest covers.

Example (not mine, but an example of the quality):

So, you just install those over your regular leather seat covers? Looks good! What does the back look like, and are they side-airbag compatible?

I had Fibrenew recondition the seats on my 1st Gen. Here's a thread from back then. Amazing results, held up well.

Yes, they fit snug right over your existing seats. They are cut for your respective model/year. To keep them tight, there are elastic bands that basically hook under your seat.

The back includes a large pocket just like OEM. And yes, they are side airbag compatible. There is a slit that is velcro'ed shut (you can see it in the pic). When the airbag deploys, the velcro opens.

Each time I go to my local Acura dealer, they always compliment me on my seats. They usually see cracked or torn seats in 1st gens (now given their age).

You can also get genuine oem seat covers from acuraoemparts. If you're lucky, you can find some on ebay.
