1993 L300 Drivers Seat Wanted

Hello folks,

I hope everyone on here is doing well under the current situation. It's been a while since I've been on here and thought this would be a good distraction as I'm self isolating at home.

My Delica continues to work well and I'm hoping I'll be able to use it this summer for some camping trips, if that's even possible. One thing I do need is a drivers seat. The one I have isn't all that bad, but the bottom seat cushion has worn quite a bit on the outside edge, and it's not vert comfortable at all anymore.

I live in Ontario about an hour and a half north of Toronto. I would love to find something in this province, but I know most folks on here live in the West. I could pay for shipping if someone has a decent seat for sale.

Thanks everyone. Stay safe:)

Cheers,

Phil Stephenson

Hey Phil,

Take the seat to an upholsterer. Mine was in sad shape, too. He replaced the foam and actually managed to save the fabric. Patched it a bit from inside. Still a tad worn but still matches the other seat and very comfortable now.

Cheers, Alex

Hi Alex,

That's a great idea. I'm surprised I didn't come up with that one myself with all of this time on my hands, lol. Probably comparable to what it would cost to have a decent seat shipped from the West Coast. I'm surprised at how worn it is considering the low Kms on my van. Everything else has held up incredibly well considering it's age.

Anyway, great idea. Thanks Alex:)

Stay safe, Phil

The foam just breaks down over time regardless of driving distance. Mine was completely gone on the right side with the driver sliding in and out.
