    Driver side vinyl seat cover.

    Does any one know where I might get a vinyl black cover for the drivers side seat .Mine has a rip in it and am being quoted silly money to fix it.

      Thanks Mike. Bit reluctant to use Aldridge as they made a total pigs ear of my soft top. Mind you there can't be much to go wrong with a seat cover.

        It is inevitable that if you just do the one seat, it will not be a perfect match with the passenger side, as the exact original material is no longer available. Replacing the ripped panel may be a better alternative.

          I replaced the front seat vinyl covers & foams on my stag a few decades ago.
          The cost then was about £300.
          Since then the costs have risen.
          … maybe 4 fold? For diy.
          The price to do one squab now isn’t that bad imho….
          one cover & Foam is about £300 now isn’t it?

            For a real cheap solution, you can remove the cover and use some woven cotton re-enforcing tape to hold the split together.

            Price is per metre e.g. Qty 1 = 1 metre Cotton tape, herringbone weave suitable for reinforcing seams etc.


            Cover the tape and the inside of the seat cover, either side of the split, with contact adhesive:

            • High strength• Multi purpose• No need for clamping or support• Bonds most materials• Interior and exterior useHigh strength adhesive that bonds on contact. No need for clamping or special support while the adhesive sets. Multi-purpose - the ideal adhesive for emergency repairs. Fast drying and low...


            When tacky, after about 5 minutes, place the re-enforcing tape along the length of the split, while holding the split together of course. Leave to dry completely for an hour or two. Press together again to make sure it has really stuck. It will pull apart slightly when under tension, but a bit of black marker will do a lot to hide the small crack!

            That is what I did on my passenger side seat which is still on the original 48 year old vinyl.

              Reach out to someone who has a LHD stag and see if they changed their seats. my passengers side seat in my LHD is still in great shape, but drivers seat is well worn and torn.

                Like the sound of this for my back seat which split along one of the seams - the 2 fronts are beyond help, both have been repaired over 10 times each with black vinyl tape.
                Plan over winter is to install some Audi TT leather seats I bought - heated and head-rests - luxury.
                (I though I saw someone manage to install the TT rear seat but can't find the link)
