Seat replacement
Hello, i'm looking at replacing my '79 seat covers and foam with either ecklers or mid america assy's. Has anyone purchased these assy's from either vendor? Satisfied? Another supplier or option?

Mid-America and Ecklers are likely the same manufacturer, so Knoch is a true different source. Other than Mid-America (they make their own), ask the vendor (Ecklers, Corvette Central, Zip, Willcox, etc) who the manufacturer of their covers is to know if you're comparing merely price or also manufacturer,

Wherever you get them, there are only two manufacturers. Al Knoch, and Corvette America (now part of Top Flight).
These are the CA covers that the PO put into my oyster white 79 at great expense, and a matching armrest I added later.

I got my foam and seat covers from Corvette America. I followed their video and installed the seats myself and was pleased with them.
