Last winter I had a mouse chew an edge of my seat and also a small piece of the rolled trim piece and never got it fixed. I'd like to get it repaired and am not sure where to start or who to contact so I figured I'd ask you folks first?

Take it out
Drive to the most seedy part of town
Here you'll find an upholstery shop
Pull out your handgun of choice, chamber a round, and replace in holster, safety off.
Slowly approach the front door
A guy surrounded in a cloud of cigarette smoke will act annoyed that you're there
Take a look at what you've got, "$200" with a grunt is all you'll hear
You leave the cushion on his bench with your name and number on a post-it note.
Slowly back out of the door, check both ways, and bolt for your truck.
Then you won't see or hear anything for at least a month
Pretty much! Lol

I had a bad panel on one of my cushions and took it to a local upholstery shop. They couldnt match up the vinyl bc the color in my 08 had been discontinued. I bought a yard from SC thru a dealer and had the panel replaced. I think they charged me 50.00 to sew it in...
Thanks. For the other responses, thanks for the no help lol.Quote:

The upholsterer usually works on motorcycle seats and occasionally an old lazyboy chair. If you are a fancy pants boater you can get them to do the work if you pay cash and beg and are willing to wait. Best to go in a couple weeks before Christmas and tell 'em you'll pay in cash (probably won't be using the boat much then and nobody is spending money on their motorcycle seats at that time of year).
Honestly i would call your Dealer, see if they can get you the matieral, if not then let me know i have some contacts to get things such as these.Quote:

C&S, I apologize for all the silly replies that were of no help to you. This is all you really need:Quote:

You know, they make that stuff in white, black, and plenty of "matching" colors
You guys are funny.
Mike that is where I will start, thanks.
See if you can find out who made the sandrock vinyl in 2008. My dealer is gone. I checked on ordering one cushion cover and it was something like $350. Lotta dough for one small hole. I'd rather just replace the damaged panel and put the cover back on.Quote:

I had cut a tiny circle of material from the back of the driver's seat cushion where there was extra material and glued it in the hole but it came out the other day so it looks terrible.
I can see if they can get the matching material but honestly to do it right, i would ship it here for the guy i use to fix it then ship it back LOL.Quote:

The curved one piece backrest on the back seat was a major PITA but he got it to fit perfectly. It looked fantastic.
OK well ill see if i can find the color you need, i know the color because its the same as my 08 had in it.
Thanks, Mike! That would be a big help. I still love the color b/c it's great with the grimy curtain climbers. I'll never forget when I first saw the boat. It was inside the shop behind the showroom at the dealer in Orlando. From the online pics I was sure (and I think the info even said) the interior was platinum. It looked faded and the boat color looked a little washed out. When I saw it in person it looked much more mocha and much less gray. I loved it. Still do.
Was just in the boat looking at a tower speaker and saw the ugly hole in the cushion. I remembered this thread. Since Malo helps me with everything else (story coming later in the week) I thought I'd give him a nudge on this one again. LOL!
Just sent my guy another message, im headed in his direction if he doesnt answer by end of lunch i will go by the shop.Quote:

Talked to my guy today, PMed you his email and the info you need to send him, he said no problem getting the skins as he just ordered some for an 07 last week.Quote:
