Replacement leather seat cover? 850 1995

Well it looks like my tan leather driver's side seat cover has seen better days and it just ripped thru to the foam. Does anyone know of a reasonable company that sells a replacement leather cover for my 1995 850? Also if I can find one, are they easy to install?

Sorry but I forgot to state in my oiginal post that it is the upper portion of the driver's seat or seat back that is torn thru.

You can put a passenger side seat cover back on the drivers seat. I did it on my '95. Fits just fine. The only issue is the cutout hole for the lumbar support knob will be on the right side of the seat. It's not too noticable if you're not too pickey about appearances. There's ALOT more hog rings involved in the back cover replacement but some folks have said using zip ties is alot easier and just as good.

There should be some good salvage yards in your neck of the woods. If it is just the seat bottom leather, I believe the passenger side can be used on the driver's side also - not the seat back, of course.
Only about a half dozen hog clips to cut to get the cover off, and use zip ties to replace the hog clips when you put it back on. You may also want to replace the foam and the lower heating element while you are at it.
