Default Seat covers

Guys,

Need some good input here.

I've got sport seats in my coupe and JUST the bolster section is ripped. The rest of the seats are GREAT (thank god).

Question IS: Are the seat covers (all 3 for the sports) universal in side placement? Will a passenger cover fit the driver's side?

This may seem like a dumba$$ question but I've had vehicles where the seats are independent. Just ask anyone who thought they'd put buckets in an SVT Lightning and found out a passenger bucket wouldn't work! I had to custom tailor my bench in the end. What is comes down to is the bolster.

Both sides look identical in shape, zipper pattern, and upholstery set-up. Any input?

Thanks,
Sean

Look at the back rest cover, and you will see it's cloth on the console sides. Left and right covers would not be interchangable do to that.

I think your best bet is to find an upholstery shop near you and have only that portion of your cover replaced. It should be cheaper and last longer. The seat cushion covers are different between the right and left sides by the way.
