In a rush to get my 03 MY vert back in the carport before showering (had it out in order to take the hurricane storm panels off the windows), I forgot that I had a screwdriver in my back pocket. Needless to say, I now have a large hole in the drivers seat . Who (besides a dealer) sells single seat pads? I may also consider both seats completely to make sure they match. TIA. Perry

I would first check to see if you have a local leather works repair company in your area. Many vehicle dealers, fine furniture shops, and high-end clothing stores utilize these companies to have their damaged leather goods professionally repaired. These companies can even match the leather color and grain perfectly. I've seen the before and after examples 'in person', and the punctures, cigarette burns, and cuts were all undetectable.

Man....how could you do such a thing. I have never done anything like that. I know that bites, but it does my heart good to see that other people do things like I do...although with age, it seems that the frequency of those happenings is increasing. good luck to you.

Good old Fla. You have fires, droughts, floods, hurricanes, and now even earthquakes. I know people hate e-bay, but I'd check them out.
