Default Seat Question

Well, tonight was going great until I dropped my targa top while trying to put it back on. The back of the top fell into the car and ripped the driver's side leather side bolster. (about 2mm)

Anyone know if something like that is repairable? If not, would the whole seat need to be replaced, or can the leather just be replaced?

Thanks.

Ouch... sorry to hear about that. Is the top OK? Just the leather skin will need to be replaced. And, even they are in multiple pieces... it may be easier than you think. If you have a good relationship with a dealer... they may even replace it under warranty...

The top is fine, the soft leather protected it. Glad to hear the skin can be replaced rather than the whole thing.

As far as the dealer goes, I bought the vette out of Houston ($7K off MSRP) and drove it home to Dallas so I don't know if a local dealer will work with me or not. I will give it a try!!

Anyone know what the PNs for the Titanium leather skins are?
