Seat cover suggestions? V70-XC70 1998

The leather seat covers in my '98 V70 are shot. I am trying to avoid the expense of replacing them, etc., and am seeking suggestions for aftermarket seat covers that are not too expensive. I have found some at Costco, but I am not sure about the quality. Thanks

    Swedish auto lamps on ebay sells very nice leather bases for fairly reasonable price. they don't do the backs [squabs] though as they said the SIPS airbags are too much liability.

    Seat cover suggestions? V70-XC70 1998

    I have the same problem with an 850. A few years ago I changed the drivers seat for $40 at the local boneyard, now it is going away too. There's fewer donor cars around at the boneyard and the leather is all getting too old, so that option seems gone

    As an interim solution, I had a small tear, and repaired with clear silicone adhesive, that seemed to stabilize things. When I see a crack or opening I'll use that adhesive to delay the agony.

    There are local people that replace furniture fabric that might repair seat covers. Something worth investigating.

    Good luck, Bill
