Had the drivers seat in the old Corrado retrimmed at....

Hinchcliffe & Haley General Auto Repairs
79, Clarence Rd, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS10 1LW
Tel: 0113*246 8557

Do a lot of classic restorations, very good job, and not expensive. IIRC about £40, which covered removal, welding frame, retrimming and refitting.

I had the same problem a year or so back with my drivers seat. When i made enquiries about repairing it i was told it can't be done due to the fabric being glued to the foam over the whole seat.

Could have been a load of b*llox though.

I fixed mine by changing the seat back only, cost megabucks though

Yes was told the same about replacing the back of the drivers seat, would cost about €300 + euros...

Thinking about a 2nd hand one, but yah know the dangers there..

So any more ideas would be gratefully excepted.

Anyone have a Drivers seat from a classic MY00 scoob 2 tone grey on side of seat and rest dark blue?

Need to replace mine, cant get it repaired,
costs as much to get the top part of the seat repaired, so may as well buy either second hand one or a new top, any advice?.

When i had the same problem i found it impossible to find just a drivers seat for sale , even the breakers could only offer a whole interior.
So i went for a new seat back from Subaru (uk) which cost an arm, a leg and some !!!!!!!!
