KS WIW Highlander seat covers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jmking9 · 01-18-2023, 09:25 AM

I'm selling my 72 blazer and the person buying it does not want the blue plaid highlander seat covers I have for it. They are from SMS. I can't remember what I paid for them, and cant find anything online that shows what they cost. I sent them an email but haven't gotten a response. I'd like to know what they are worth so I can adjust the sale price in a way that's fair for us both. If anyone has recently had a set made, or knows the value of them, please let me know.
If this is not the correct place to post this my apologies and please delete. Thanks

$1500 ? Any help out there ? Probably hard to get these days without long wait time. There is low quality on ebay for $1400 plus ship.

New Highlander seat covers would be north of 2K. Those seat covers look great, but the highlander fabric is not centered properly on your bucket seat covers. The darker three columns should be centered on the bucket seat, like the rear seat is.

I disagree the front should not be centered only the back others will chime in but are big bucks

Thanks for the input everyone. Yes, most people feel that the wide dark blue portion of the fabric should be centered. I would agree for the most part. Its one of those things that only a real purist would pay attention to. It wasn't going to bother me one bit. The fact that they were both symmetrical, and straight was great with me. But to some, its a big deal. To each their own.
Anyway, I'm still waiting on a call back from SMS to find out what this set would cost to build, as well as an estimated lead time. If the buyer agrees, I might just knock 2k off the price. I think that would be fair for both of us.

Do they actually make the seat cover to fit or just sell the material ?
