Source for Del Sol Seat Fabric
I have a 93 Del Sol that has the typical wear in the outside seat bolster. I have talked to two upholstery shops about replacing the panel, but both say that can't get the fabric. Any suggestions? (Yes, I know I can get seat covers, but I want to keep the car as original as possible.) Thanks, Dan (This account is not used for email.) |

Hi. I am an upholsterer by trade. Yes, it is difficult to get the fabric
for foreigns sometimes, and if your Del Sol is a '93...well. If you email me off the group, I may be able to give you some leads. I have to bird dog fabric sometimes. I have some sources that may be able to help you out. My recommendation is that if you can find it, buy twice as much as you need. Another tidbit, switch the buns and covers, just on the seat bottoms, driver to passenger. Keep the mechanics in the correct spot, just change the foam and the cover. What once was outboard, is now inboard. Some cars, the bolsters are asymmetrical and that won't work. But it is a good fix, if you do have symmetry.

Particulary the brown/beige patterns. |

Your outta luck. Best off finding some cheap Sol seats that need new foam.
