Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem, but the two-toned leather seats in my '07 TL-S has gotten to the point that I think I need to replace them (as in driver, passenger, and back seats )

At this point, I feel like I only have two options. I can either get the seats replaced completely or get them reupholstered.

Does anyone have any input on this before I make my decision?? Has anyone else experienced this before?

 

I've been looking at the same issue. Bought my 08 TL-S and there was a small tear in the drivers seat that has progressively gotten worse. Just for the seat base cover it is $900+ through the dealer, and that is just for the cover. Some of the vendor sites have have the covers for around $650. Personally I'm holding out for a pick'n'pull yard to let me know when a TL-S comes in and I'll pillage that.

 

Don't know how all the seats can be destroyed, but the only two options available are what you listed.
Stop by the local upholstery shop and see what they say, used seats front/rear, change and replace with Katzkin if they have any available for the TL-S. Looks like it's going to be big $$$$$$$$$$$.

 

Reupholster is the best bet. This is not a bad time to learn how to DIY. The cheapest option if you really want to repair it.

 

There are some TL -S seats in the BM !

 

^^^^what he said
$300 type S

 

Unless OP is in Maryland.. will not ship.

 

Got quoted a while back, $1500 to reup front and back seats.

 

Be ready to spend big money. Don't say we didn't warn you lol

I do not know if you got new covers yet. I have a colleague who has had experience with customizing cars. He used to work for a shop that would prep cars for shows etc. For leather he has said, that we should try looking for a boat upholstery shop. They are less expensive versus an auto upholstery shop. Also they ( boat upholstery) uses similar/same material as a auto upholstery shop.

It can save you couple of $$$. See if this helps you..
