Re-trimming Early Seats

nortm005 · May 9, 2022

Hi all,

Has anyone had any experience re trimming early land rover 90 seats (with the plastic squab backing).

I am looking at this re trim kit - https://www.paddockspares.com/retrim-kit-black.html

I know it says for slightly later seats but I am under the impression its possible

Thanks

Depending how early your landy is it may be worth checking out "Delux"/county Series 3 seat cover retrim

Have you got a photo of the seats and also what year is your Landy?

I have re-trimmed seats in a 1989 Land Rover 90 and it was easy enough. I went with Masai 4X4 covers which looked great.

The video I linked is really useful to follow step by step.

I've never seen any re-trim kits for these types of seats so maybe it's worth finding a used pair of the later seats and re-trimming those instead.

I've re trimmed defender seats with the paddocks kit and ot was easy and looked good. Well worth the money.

The seat base looks the same as my 1990 ones i have re trimmed just the other day. You can probably re trim with the kit available, frame looks the same basic shape.

I had the same dilemma as you, with the same plastic back seats.
I’m the end I bought a second hand pair of the newer style in better nick than mine, knowing I could get retrim kits down the line.
The problem I encountered with this is that the older seat frames have a different mount than the newer ones but I made risers to make them fit.
I’ve still got the old seats if you want them but I suspect they’re as bad as yours.
