My 92' has leather seats and the sun has given them a beating. They are cracked and looking really bad. Anybody know where to purchase new covers? Or repair them?

If you can actually remove the original leather, than I would think only Ford, specialty companies or a car with a good int. from the junkyard is your best bet. There are also places that recover seats, vinyl and convertible tops, custom car covers, bimini tops for boats, motorcycle seats etc. if you don't want to get involved in the work. Good luck.

Ebay brother! I have seen new leather seat kits for around 100-150.00 bucks on eBay. i really do not knowthe qualityof leather. I do know that you would need some kind oflow heat gun or a blow drier to remove all the wrinkles. I would assume that if youtook you time and did one seata day that it could be done if.The best way that I know is to turn the new seat cover inside out and pull it over the new seat like a pillow case. You also need a few special tools to unclamp the retaing rings and the reapply them. They are about 15 Bucks. They do have bookswith some tips that could save you some time on this. The only way to learn is to do things for yourself. But if you are someone that will be bothered if it is not perfect, then bring it in to the pros.
