Hi,
My first post so be gentle. I've got a '95 Previa LE S/C AllTrac w/230K mi that we've owned from day 1. It's in good shape except for the brown leather seats which are literally coming apart in the front and well worn captain's chairs in the middle.
Any ideas as to where to track down decent replacements (new or used)? Barring that any recommendations for good kits to recover?


Many thanks in advance!

If you want it to look right, I'm afraid you'll have to have a trim/upholstery shop replace the seat covers entirely
It will be next to impossible to find good condition leather seats... unfortunately, most people do not know leather needs to be cared for to ensure long life.... so they end up neglected and after a few years, they start cracking

Thank you! The leather seats did quite well for about 18 years (which is none too shabby, IMHO), but took a serious dive after that. Just afraid of what an upholsterer will have to say. :shock:
