Replacement Map Pockets

[researchenjim]

Bl==dy kids! Some heavy footed thug of a toddler has trod on the map pocket leather on the rear of the driver's seat, and bust it good and proper. Despite my best efforts I haven't been able to work out whether new replacements can simply be bought and pushed into the back of the seat or whether it's a much bigger operation, replacing the whole seat back unit? Done the Google and eBay search of course, but nada, and no sign of anything on here either. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. J

Taking a wild guess here but it looks like it’s tied through the back of the seat? Is it like an elastic cored??

You could get some elastic cord, tie it to somthing as thing as welding wire thread it through the back of the seat and through the top part of the pocket tie a knot and shuffle it around so it’s tucked inside the seat or inside the top of the pocket, does this sort of make sense?

Thanks for the response. From what I can make out, it's a plastic frame, with elasticated top, that seems to attach with plastic push rivets into the back of the seat, but can't seem to find any such replacement parts anywhere. It might be that I can somehow thread a wire inside the seat back and tether it to the leather... If that makes sense!

A vehicle upholsterer may be able to do a decent job at a cost.

Yes you’re correct I had a check of mine seems like the plastic frame either side has snapped off!

Seems like the back unclips I think? So this could be worth looking into this ships from the US but I doubt that will matter!

And add import tax on total amount including shipping.

You could save money scrapping the child. But if it's a first offence...
