Title: Where to get red cloth?
Post by: Tem on January 14, 2004, 08:40

I bought the red stock seat covers some time ago from someone in here and recently installed them. Now I noticed that the door inserts looks SO out of place (still being black).

Apparently Toyota only sells the whole door plastic cover thingie and you can't get just the piece of cloth separately. Also tried to ask some local car interior shops without much success.

Any ideas where to find a piece of similar cloth to do the doors? Original ones, or just some general piece, doesn't matter (I have scissors s8) 8) s8) )

Could be worth trying a few Haberdasheries s:shock: :shock: s:shock: or textile stores, they might have something close enough to look good?

Same thing Tem, just a silly Brit name for them. Don't bother though, spoke to Mr.T a couple of months ago about getting some and he said, forget it, they apparently have it specially made for the production line and can't order it in s:evil: :evil: s:evil:

it's a bugger eh

Just booked mine in to get the seat cover replaced under the warranty and asked if I could have the old one back, they have told me no as they have to send it to Toyota so that they get paid under the warranty scheme, so sorry about that, I tried!

Maybe your Distributor tears out the cloth when he puts leather in as an option - that may be available from them if that's the case...

Your dealer will be the one to create a contact.

There's no leather option over here... s:? :? s:?

I guess I could buy the whole set (someone actually already suggested it), but it seems like a waste to rip perfectly good covers apart...
