I have a 1988 xj-s, the passenger seat and the rear seats seams were splt. After several very expensive quotes at uoholstery shops, I decided to tackle it myself.

Purchased the needles and nylon upholstery thread for $5.35, Followed the existing holes and it was fairly easy, as soon as i find out how to post pictures will do.

 

I'd like to do the same myself. The leather is in good condition, but the seams are split at the top center of the back seat. Any tips/pictures will be appreciated.

 

Duke, I did the passenger seat as well as the top centers and ends of the back seat, I purchased the thread and needeles in a craft store, used nylon for upholstery and curved needles, about 5.35 in materials. The pain was dissassembly of the seats, assembly was easy. lien up the seams vey well and follow the previous holes. I have pictures of before and after, but I can seem to be able yo post here.

 

Think you can use photo bucket or similar on here.

 

Upload to photobucket, copy "direct link", go back to your message and click on the insert image icon and paste the url. It's better if you resize the image to 600*800 or smaller.
