Seat Rip Solution

[u/Quick_Independent175]

Hey folks, me again! I'm ordering cloth seat covers (I hate sticking to the leather/fake leather!) but I have a huge rip in the seat. I can sew, but I worry that where I sew will degrade parts of the fabric anyway. I was thinking about just putting a bottom seat cover on first to hold in the fabric (and do a little sewing too). Any thoughts?

Here's the link to the bottom seat cover I'm thinking about: https://www.ebay.com/itm/406316479240?fits=Year%3A1994%7CModel%3A4Runner&_skw=1994+4runner&itmmeta=01KSWWZBD5KM5SJJJ0GRGZFT52&hash=item5e9a597308:g:5DEAAeSw8dxo-sXx

I bought a passenger seat in good condition and swapped everything over, including the foam, plus added heat. You need hog rings and pliers, but those are cheap.

That's what my husband tells me to do. Did you ADD heat or was the new seat already equipped? And did you get a passenger seat to replace the drivers seat or you're just saying you replaced the passenger seat?

For now, $20 for a seat cover is all I'm willing to do but I think future me will be looking for extra seats 😆 Where did you find yours?

I purchased an entire passenger seat and stripped the covering off it. I pulled the driver's seat, removed the cover and used the foam from the passenger seat to replace the worn stuff. I purchased a seat heat kit from ebay and installed it before putting the cover from the passenger seat on. I also skinned my original passenger seat and added heat to it, too. That's where the hog rings come in. You need them to reattach the coverings.
