I stopped by an upholstery shop earlier in the week to show him my seat and ask about prices, options, etc. He said no go on my existing seat. It had a soft spot in it that I always thought was strange on the top edge of the seat back. He said it was a mouse tunnel, and to find a new seat. He also advised me to not get one that had the fabric glued to the foam as the first one did too, and it would have better results. I stopped by the pick-and-pull today and for $35 got a different one, this one he gave the thumbs up on. He also said I should bring my wife back to pick out a color of vinyl as men often get these decisions wrong....
Here's the "new" seat in front of the "old" one. The tear is only in the cover that will be replaced anyway. Headrests will not be retained:
And the vinyl I picked out.....we'll see if it holds up to the wife test when I get a chance to stop back there with her.
I think it will look nice with the green:
