Anyone have a source for replacement seat covers? I’ve checked the usual sources with no success. I have an '09 eS. Thanks. ---

hi Rozinante… you can take it to any upholestry shop and get it recovered… I had mine done for about $150… there was a guy in AZ who was making seat covers a while back on craigslist… haven’t seen his post lately… check [nevaccressories.com](http://nevaccressories.com) they have them… follow the link [GEM 2-PASS SEAT COVERS-NEV ACCESSORIES](http://www.nevaccessories.com/GEM-2-PASS-SEAT-COVERS/productinfo/GEM-2-STRI/) Bob Anyone have a source for replacement seat covers?

Rozinante… I don’t know if you are in an area where there are a lot of GEM and other NEVs on the road… in Denver I’m one of 3 and the other 2 aren’t driven as much as I drive mine… I took my car to 3 shops for prices and the guys all wanted the job… they were close on price the guy who got it could do it in a day… when I got my soft doors I went back to him to have them installed as well… he’s on a busy street… think the car parked in front may have got him more business… Bob [QUOTE=Rozinante;11374]I saw those.

Does anyone have a source to buy an 02 GEM rear seat bottom and a front driver’s seat bottom? Someone from this forum contacted me last year to inform me that there is a guy in downstate NY that has a bone yard full of them. Reach out to me if you can help! Thanks. Jon Cullinan [jwyliec4n@aol.com](mailto:jwyliec4n@aol.com) or thru Facebook. Thanks agaiin ---

NEV accessories has replacement vinyl covers available. they are new material not a universal cover. It says 99 to 04 years, in different colors. > **[GEM 2-PASS SEAT COVERS - NEV ACCESSORIES](https://www.nevaccessories.com/GEM-2-PASS-SEAT-COVERS/productinfo/GEM-2-STRI/)** ---

In looking to get my seats recovered i went with the ones from NEV. Just receieved them and although i knew there were not covers as they are advertised as OEM upololstry ones, they are not great. Not only do they need a professional to sew missing parts onto them to install them they do not conform the the seat curves. Its basically just a flat bench and not how the foam is sits where your bottom goes. I will probably keep my old one on and then use a cover from seat covers unlimited and see how that goes. I have to eat the shipping both ways which is a little over $50 total which sucks but live an learn. I sent and email to Ivan there, who is probably on this site i assume, to let him know his site information is a little misleading. Anyone have any other successes with cover purchases? ---

i have personally done multiple bench seat cover installations of the NEV covers with no issues at all. pretty simple install, I use a really thin plastic bag around the foam to help the new covers slide right on over the foam, it is a little tricky to get the hard plastic closure snapped but i have found using a stubby flat blade screwdriver will do the trick. never had any need to have anything sewn. ---

There is no plastic j hook straps. Only material. I thought it would be a replace by as original but it’s not. It’s obviously a poorly made copy. Again no stitching in the seat bucket area to form contours etc. No backing material. Not plastic sewn in j hooks. Nada. Funny too as NEV has not responded to my problem on email yet. A little shady. ---

So as i mentioned above, i tried to use the one from NEV but it sucked and was way basic and incomplete for over $200 with shipping. Returned but ate shipping both ways. Through some local recommendations as we have two lakes near us, although about empty as i am in California, for boat upholster. I had to wait a over a month to get in line, but he fit me in between a few jobs or it would have been into October. It cost me $475 cash. A little more in cost overall but even using NEV cover i would have had to go to an upholsterer to finish it and i am sure i would have dropped another $100 to use it. So that would have probably ran me over $300 plus as it needed some foam repair as well and would have a basic stock gray cover. Now i have this! Much more custom and well worth the extra money. Plus supporting local business. ![Gem Seats Final 01](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/0/00b165c34eb93af8f1d2b0b2631d74c2f720b57c.jpeg) ---
