Does anyone have a 2005 OBW wagon with leather seats you'd trade for
my mother's cloth seats? She really regrets not buying the leather
seats she wanted, but she also really didn't want the sunroof. Post
here; I watch this group religiously. Thanks!

Aftermarket upholstery shops can usually get leather replacement
seatcovers to install in your OBW. They take off the cloth seat
coverings and replace them with leather. It's hard to tell the
difference from factory.

Sometimes the "kits" show up on eBay...

Or, you can just fine some car seat covers that look and fit right. I've
seen some pretty good ones, and when you sell the car the leather seats will
look brand new. You can also wash them. Obviously they won't looks as good
as OEM or the above post, but they do work.

I'm wondering how well those full seat covers work with the in-seat
side-airbags? Are they strong enough to contain the full force of the
expelled bag or would they pop out. And also, if an upholstery shop will
take on refitting a seat that has those?
