posted all this in one thread to keep from cluttering the board, so feel free to comment on any/all of the questions.
so i got a set of seats for my 89 extended cab W/T out of a 94 suburban today at pull-a-part. paid 44 bucks for them, and the upholstery is in good shape (wrong color and stained, but solid with no cigarette burns or tears). planning on getting them to match with SEM dye. questions there:
1. Ive never used it on cloth. hows it do? i know it works great with plastic, vinyl, and leather, so I'm assuming same great results with the cloth seats.
2. any special prep due to the cloth? I'm going from tan to two tone red/burgundy with them. armrests and all.
when i got them back to my shop and sat down in them again, i noticed that the drivers side cushion is done for on the outside from some other fat guy getting in and out of the truck. why i didn't notice that before i pulled and paid, i dunno. a couple of rows down, there was a few mint passengers side seats.
my thought is that i can undo the hog rings on the pass side seat, grab the cover and cushion, and reinstall on my drivers side seat. will this work?
lastly, the new buckets don't match my existing back vinyl seat. there was an extended cab blue interior truck down there that had a cloth back seat in good shape. would the dark blue be dyable to red/burgundy to match?
also got the console out of the suburban. on all the consoles down there, there was a rectangular opening at the back of it, where the back seat was. no suburbans had anything in there. what goes there?
thanks for any help you can throw my way.
