Rip in leather seat

Hi I have a rip in my seat where the seam is in the middle.
I called a upholstering shop and they said 65-75 dollars
to fix. Has anyone had this problem b-4? Does this seem
like a good price? Also is it easy to take the seat out
and fix myself? not much of a seamstress here. d.w.

My driver seat is ripped up pretty bad also...It is leather though...I would love find a good replacement seat for it out of a yard,but i just can't find leather seats for these cars in good shape in any local yards around here..

for sure... I sat back, drank a few beers and thought for 65-75 bucks.... my time and effort is worth at least $100 for just getting out of the house.lol So
I will take it to the shop.... I'll try to get pics to see how good their work
is.
