Upholstery

Post by mikey13 »

Looking to find a place where I can find or get mosaic amazon seat material to restore my Upholstery. I do not think TMI does it or Sewfine, can someone point me in the right direction.

Hi Mikey13: I looked around but came up short but what I would do is contact TMI - they are held in pretty high regard, and ask them if they know where you can locate some - they have always been helpful when I have contacted them.

Maybe someone else on the forum will have a lead though.....

One other thought this morning ...you may want to call WolfsburgWest and talk to them about where you might be able to source this material - I think they would point you somewhere pretty quick!

Have you checked out California Pacific [jbugs.com] I see there interior packages offer TMI door panels but they also sell material by the yard.Not sure if that comes from TMI or not. They have a color[samples] chart in the the catalog of the actual material from German Square Weave to Mohair.

Have not found a site yet. I would settle for just the material, but I like the find complete seat cover sets. I might cut a piece out of seat and send it to TMI to see if they have that material(60 mosaic amazon).

Thats a good idea - let us know what they say! Just because they haven't advertized it doesn't mean they don't have it or can't get it made up. Thanks for the update!
