Honda Car Forum

Okay, I decided to keep the car. I will be moving soon and was
thinking baout buying a new Honda in my new territory, but there's
really nothing wrong with my car, except for a small tear in the seat
on the lumbar hump that gets the most friction when you get in and out.
I decided to have it repaired.

The thing is, the fabric for this car has been discontinued and we
can't find anything that comes close to matching it. We just need
about one square yard. I know that someone somewhere out there HAS TO
have this sitting on a shelf somewhere. The frabric was discontinued
after 7 years, which means it could have been around in a shop as
recently as 1998. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The fabric, according to the 1991 Leo Book, is #130167.

I have other quirks with the car I might ask about later (horn doesn't
work when it's damp out, dash lights don't work when it's cold out),
but this is my priority.

Thanks!

honestly? an iron on patch to stop any further wear, and some really nice
seatcovers.

That would be WAY too easy. Besides, I'm on a mission now.

yes, i would

Why don't you cruise the CRX forums and see about getting some good used
replacements? hundreds of CRXs running around with aftermarket seats, and the
old ones are in the garage.

Because it's not a CRX. I *had* one, but traded it in for the
Civic.

Where are you? Try some of the Honda clubs in your area,
I'm sure somebody's replaced a set of seats by now. However,
it seems to be a common problem, there was at one point
3 '88-'91 HBs in my family, all 3 had rips in the seats.

I'm home. On Earth. This tear is in the friction area where I
guess everyone's wallet or big behind rubs getting into and out of the
car.
