SL Seat covers and jump seat
 

Hi All, I have just found this forum and am really impressed with the knowledge and expertise on offer here..
I have recently purchased a 92 300SL on the cheap as a long term fixer upper project, I have very little mechanical experience and am looking for a recommendation of good MB mechanic in the North Jersey / west NY area.
The car itself drives very well for it's 125K on the clock, although needs a lot of cosmetic attention, specially the interior, rips in the seats and no jump seat.
I have found a company call JJ products who make and supply the rear jump seats and replica upholstery at a reasonable price..

my question is: has anyone ever purchased the these items from JJ's and exactly how easy is it to change the original leather seat covering...? according to them, i can do it myself... is this really the case.

It could also do with a fresh paint job, but one thing at a time..:)

Just moved to the US from the UK so not familier at all with local auto mechanics.

looking forward to your replys

I bought a completed rear seat for my 1993 600sl from the same company and installed myself. It took me about 2 hours. Remove rear bucket, install lap seat belts ( holes are predrilled ), drop in the JJ's rear seat, screw in couple screws. Make sure your new rear seat must match the stitch pattern and color and leather to the front seats. Highly recommended

I have installed products from JJ. He gets his stuff from GERMANEX in California.
