See my post at https://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32067 for an alternative to seat cover replacement in the event the entire seat is not badly worn.

In the few weeks since I posted this, the repair has held up well. And I have plenty of dye left over for reapplication (assuming it doesn?t dry out quickly).

Based solely on ram_g 's review, I ordered the kit including crack fill for my wife's Camry. Haven't done the Camry yet but another friend with a 15k miles C6 needed seat repair so I let them be my learning car. The kit did a really great job. The seat must be completely Armor all etc free and completely dry. I used an hvlp with low pressure gun, took 5 coats but looks brand new. Thanks for the tip ram_g !

After seeing your original post I got a bottle of black dye for a spot I had on the passenger seat. Worked great and very pleased with the end results. Great find and thanks!

Sounds good! BTW I looked back at my original post and realized I hadn't put in this disclaimer - I have no connection whatsoever with Seat Doctors other than being a satisfied customer!

Mid America states that you can order them now and they will be in on 10/30/2020.
at least, that is what they say.

Was told we NEVER send out samples, but I have the letter and piece of leather you JUST sent me! Stating $50 for a side bolster in saddle color. Hand written with Al Knoch letterhead lol! The way I was blown off like I was crazy, was unbelievably epic... I'm sure you as others here have had a great experience with them, as it does look like they offer beautiful leather covers. But I think they realized we are not going through with the trouble to break up a $1000 seat set, for just a bolster. So I told them to stick it where the leather don't shine and took the little 2 inch square they sent and fixed my seat!! Sorry, I'm off my soapbox now.....
I would try and find out who gave you a line of crap then I would talk to the owner. Will they sell just the seat bolster covers?

It was the worst customer service I've ever dealt with....I was so pissed and shocked how I was treated. Makes me mad typing this thinking about it lol. Al Knoch is a great product if you have the money.

I may call over today at lunch and see if they just sell the side bolster, or I get a line of crap again today.
