940 seat reupholster

Now that I'm looking for another 940 I'm finding cars that
may be in pretty good condition mechanically but many times
the interiors especially the drivers seat is very worn.

A coworker had his nissan seats recovered with a replacement kit.
It is an exact reupholster cover that made the seat a good as new!
The price wasn't bad either.
I've looked but can't find the same product offered for a Volvo 940
seat. Other older Volvos perhaps but, not the 940. Even though the 940
is now 12 years old at best!

Has anyone else needed this and found a source for 940 reupholster kits?

Thanks.
I've seen the info you posted.
As much as I love the information listed on Swedishbricks.com we have to look at
the
fact that many of the solutions (ierices) are far out of date. And, I'm not
aware of any
updates to the Swedishbrick.com in years. I wish we would build upon such a
wonderful
resource!

I was asking if anyone had found a reupholstery kit such as the ones offered
for many other cars to replace and in some cases improve the interior styling of
a car.

 

I'm not aware of a kit, but some people have had luck having seats redone by
an auto upholstery shop. IIRC it was around $250/seat, but they come out
looking brand new.

 

I got a chance to talk to my coworker.
Katskin was the product he used. Got great results.
Unfortunately Volvo doesn't seem to be high on their
priority list. Especially older models.

 

WOW!
I checked with an upholstery shop today. I was quoted $935 US
per seat! I gotta shop around a bit but WOW!
