my upholstery replacement '07 AR230

We did not. The upholsterer left town and we were never able to find out where he sourced his material.

I'm really surprised it's hard to find because he did it as a side job so I got the impression he was just going to a local supply house,

That looks pretty nice, is it an exact match or something close?
 
Taking all my upholstery out to have it redone and this thread was invaluable! Trying to find all those nuts and screws on my own would have taken a lifetime. Thank you so much for putting it together!!

Just a thought to add to this thread, to get to all the nuts for the rear corner seat backs and swim platform backs I was able to loosen the carpeted plywood from the sides of the engine compartment and drop/tilt them in enough to access everything without having to actually lay in the under seat storage. I’m 6’5” and 240 pounds, so making myself small isn’t really an option. It’s more to have to put back together but it’s an option if you physically can’t fit in the storage area to get to them. Just be careful not to put too much pressure on any wires or hoses that run behind the plywood. Thanks!

Mike
