Need 3lt seat
Hey everyone..I am extatic to say that I am purchasing my first c6 this weekend. The only problem is the drivers seat on the car has a small hole in it. I am not going to be happy until it is changed, so I used the search function and am still having trouble finding a place to get a new one. Any suggestions???

I have never done it but a few members have and have said it takes 2-3 hours per seat but is not real difficult. The hog rings are probably the must difficult part. One guy here used zip ties instead of hog rings. If you use hog rings I would advise getting the hog ring pliers.

Where is the hole - seat bottom, headrest/bolster section, or center back pad???
Depending on where it is I might have an ebony piece.
