Replace Seats

Hello Guys!

I am in Brooklyn, NYC. My leather driver seat upper part has worn out hole which bothers me so much. I would like to replace it. Anyone would like to do it for me? I would like to pay you for your time. My seat color is tan leather.

Email or PM me with your offers on how much you would like for whole job including seat cover. It must be exactly same as OEM.

Thanks!

Dude, honestly, it's 4 bolts (14mm bolts I believe) and a couple of plugs...do it yourself. Find a junkyard and pull it yourself.

I am pretty sure this guy is asking if someone can change just the seatback, not the entire seat.

Search yellow pages for upholstry shop's in your area.
Just to let you know, dealers pay around 600-800$ total for converting cloth seats into leather interior.
if you just want to fix up one seat it should cost about 150-200$. Drivers seat is almost always beat up on such old cars.

Just had my Explorer's leather fixed. Dog chewed it up, upholstry shop replaced the section and put a new cushion in it. $300 bucks, and the seat is like new again.
Totally worth it, I wouldn't put used seats in.

You mean NYCMaximas.org? And if not there you can also try NYCNissans.com, maybe someone can help you there as well.

I just did this on my car (installed heating stuff from another Maxima) and it was quite easy.

If you were 3 hours north (in Albany) I could do it for you for $50 pending you provide the leather piece to replace it with.

unless....

unless you dont want to do it yourself and dont have time to do it. in that case, hire a mechanic off craigslist and pay him 50 dollars to do it for ya. call a local junkyard and make sure they have a leather seat for ya, and have your mechanic pick it up and install it. cheers.
