The seats in my 150M are pretty shabby. Need some nicely covered seats or seat covers.

Thanks, Dalton

The business that re-upholstered our seats is based in Kingman, AZ, $800 for custom design Aerobat style seats with the checkers sewed nicely down the middle and vacro for parachute use.. More standard seats will likely be less expensive.

I had Shelby of TN Wings redo my seats. Very nice work! All leather. Repaired all the mechanical issues, including welding cracked tubing and getting the recline mechanism working again. Good service.

I used Airtex Interiors [airtexinteriors.com] to redo the interior of my 172. The seats were very easy to redo with the kit they send you.

When I had a 150, I found a very nice complete leather interior, side panel and all, on eBay. It was very easy to install.

Changing or repairing the upholstery fall under owner maintenance. I am not particularly good at DIY projects, but changing the seat covers is not complicated at all. Airtex was very easy to work with and sent me all kinds of pictures on how to change the seat covers. They included all new memory foam and the outside material was well stitched and looked great.

I bought the seats and carpet kits from Shelby, installed both myself. He was outstanding to work with anytime I had questions. I highly recommend his products and his service!
