Seat Cover Replacement
Hi all,
After reading here a good bit, getting prices locally and talking to VIC at Topsonline I decided to take on my worn seats. The hides look fantastic! A perfect match as to color. I have only completed the passenger side and plan on starting the drivers tomorrow. I would call this project advanced DIY. I assume I am past the learning curve so the drivers side should be easier. at least there are a couple of videos about doing the console and cup holder so that will certainly help on them. when I finish up in a day or 2 I will post some pictures of the final result for other folks to see. Thank goodness for Vic at topsonline he has answered all my questions great service after the sale.

I am taking pictures of the drivers side to hopefully help someone else.
Speaking of help, I cannot find the schematic of the drivers door switch connector. I know I have seen it before on JTIS or here on the forum. My connector has different color wires than does the harness coming out of the seat. I need to figure out what color from the harness goes to which pin. I knew the connector was missing when I bought this car. the wires had been run to the correct pins and the seat did work fine. I pulled them off today to install the New to me connector thinking the wire colors would match up. SILLY me. of the 9 wires 5 are of the same color and I have soldered and heat shrunk them. now im down to 4 that just don't match. one is a white coming from the harness and I think it goes to the wire on the connector that is a faded pink color that used to be white I think. then 3 more that just do not match HELP!
