What's Wrong With The Seats That Are In The Car Now?

When I started telling The Lovely Harvey about the seat trim failure, and that my initial response was to assume there were no parts in the system...

Lemme back up.

Often when an interior part on an 11 year old car breaks, you are on your own for replacing it.  Ebay, forums and salvage yards are your only recourse.

Seats from a Pontiac GTO and G8 plug right into a 2011-2013 PPV.  Seats from a 2014-2017 Chevy SS might work.

I mentioned all that to Harvey before she asked, "What's wrong with the seats in the car?"

"The broken trim piece." was my reply.

Happily I can still get a new one and it's on its way.

But I also mentioned that The Beast's cloth cop seats are gonna be way more comfy than a GTO, G8 or SS seat.

Those are more sporty than the PPV and have beefier side bolsters that don't account for the average girth of the typical owner...

Because the seats in the car now were designed with the idea that a cop wearing a gun belt would be using them, they're wider and have more space for me than kidney squeezing sports seats would.

    How much would it cost to professionally reupholster the existing seats? Would it be worth it instead of doing a swap out?

    And you are right, the police seats are far more comfortable for us 'normal' folk due to the added hip and holster room.
