I recently restored my 93' LE Miata's seats, so I made a video of the process. I hope this video can help anyone who may be considering such an endeavor but is weary of upholstery type projects. I had zero prior experience with this kind of stuff but I'm very satisfied with my outcome! Don't be scared to try something you've never done. And I did it all for under $300! That's less than the cost of most cheap eBay racing seats, and way cooler! If you have any questions or need any help with a seat restoration project of your own feel free to comment or message me. Thank you for watching and have a great day.

I got my new (faux leather) seat skins from these guys for $225 usd shipped! Add in the price of a few materials and tools I purchased for this project and I'm still well under $300.
Here's my price breakdown:
Replacement seat skins $200
Shipping cost on seat skins $25
2 yards 1/2" poly foam $25
Spray adhesive $8
Metal snips $5
Revolving leather punch $5
Eyelet pliers with 100 eyelets $5
Large container of zipties $5
1 yard nylon mesh fabric $2
Super glue $3
Large embroidery needle $1
3 gallons distilled white vinegar $6
Change found under seats/carpet -$2.46
Total cost: $279.54
I had all of the other tools/materials on hand, but they are all pretty common items
I'm now on Instagram! Add me @crogdogsgarage

Thank You so much, I'm a retired police officer of 25 years. I'm restoring my wife's dream car that her parents would not let her buy. She's a doctor now and bought a 1993 miata that I am restoring for her. I was having trouble with the recovered seats. THANKS A TON!!!

Dude! Thanks soooo much for the video. I just finished installing interior-innovations skins on my '95 Miata. Your video was of tremendous help. I tried plumping up the foam with a garment steamer (as recommended by others) but it had little effect. Your use of 1/2" poly foam is what was needed to make up for 23 years of age and butt pressure. Thanks again!

Finally some kind soul gives me a step by step primer in how to rebuild my 90 seats, ( in the only year of red, of course), new driver side seats are impossible to find, and covers don’t solve the basic problem of people not knowing how to get in and out of sportscar seats. Thank you so much for a class video on how to do it ALL, ( I hate the old foam on the carpet, will do the same fix. First video I’ve seen on how to REBUILD old seats, driver side ALL have the same broken-down feel. Now I have a project. Thanks.

They came out amazing! I just ordered the same seat cover replacements but in black. I saw another video where the guy gave up because they were too loose and wrinkly and I started to think about adding in foam to make it more fitted and for more comfort. I'm really glad I ran across your video because I'm now confident it can be done with materials I already have. Your instructions are WAY more clear than the ones given by the supplier. I hope you won't mind if I post your tutorial on the miata forums I frequent, you've got my sub and you'll be getting MANY more. You deserve it! Keep up the good work!

This is THE BEST video I've ever seen on Miata seats!!! I have wanted a Miata since I was a kid, and I always watch videos on parts that I know I will need to work on when I finally achieve my dream. But when I look up videos on seats it's always bucket seats or racing seats or stuff like that. This was literally smarter than me I didn't even know you could buy replacement leather and just have basically OEM seats!!!!! For the record 16:30 THAT BOOTY!

Thanks for posting this! I just finished redoing my seats in my 95 and this was very helpful. The addition of the rivets is CRUCIAL imo to reinforce the attachment points underneath. Without them the vinyl will rip. I was also worried the zip ties wouldn't be strong enough but they seem good and allow for cinching unlike the hog ring tool. I doubled up on spots I thought would see a lot of tension. I also added a lot of foam to my bolsters but not the bottom since I'm 6"4". My seat covers were only $100 for the pair and look good but with that low price, you end up spending more time to get them on right, adding rivets etc. It took me about 16-18hrs in total from start to finish. I also added heating pads to the back and butt of both seats ($35/seat ebay kit)

Hey man, you did a fantastic job for having no experience and for the price! I've done this job before with more expensive kits, so for the extra money you get the holes already punched out and located where they need to be...but for a little bit of work, you did it yourself and saved a ton of money! I'm seriously going to look into this website you linked. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the interior.

Wow your video and the steps you included were so good! Would definately be worth paying something for! I could not have done this without your video and/or it would not have turned out so good. About the only step I didn't do was the covering of the bottom of the seat; other than that I did everything just as you outlined. As one or two other people mentoned, I do wonder what the life expectancy will be of the plastic wire ties but also can not image trying to get hog rings down into some of the places; I think would be really really hard to do. If they would fail; I would just redo that part and I think I would still use wire ties to bring the points together; that might make hog rings possible. Thanks again!!!

You didn’t add the poly foam to the upper portion of your seats?
@CrogDogsGarage
@CrogDogsGarage 5 лет назад
I actually did do the upper bolsters too, but I don't think it's apparent in the video. You can see where I did the upper center piece and the headrest piece, but I had some lost video footage of putting the foam on the upper bolsters. I put a single layer on the front of the bolsters but it wasn't wrapped around the sides or back. Basically from the inside of the bolster to where the first edge seam is

Great job, but I think the zip ties will break with time. Hog rings are what they use in car seats because there metal and they will last. They might even be stainless steal or something. One time I bought some large zip ties from home depot and they were brittle right when I opened them up, they broke right away as I tried to use them the whole batch was the same, I dont know if they were old sitting on the shelf forever or just bad plastic to begin with.
@CrogDogsGarage

You're probably right, but so far everything is holding up well. If I have any issues in the future with any of them breaking it wouldn't be too hard to redo them with upholstery hog rings

You forgot stretch when someone sits on it! If it’s so tight from the get go the seams are under stress! And zip ties will break , the metal will wear thru them that’s why hog rings are used . Beware of super glue it will dry hard and cause a whole other problem!

Maybe the foam is in too good a condition on my seats but there is no way I can get a zip tie to push down and pop the end on the other side of the wire, there is to much foam injected all around that wire. I worked at it for 30 minutes with a couple different sizes, no go. I guess I'm off to get hog rings and pliers for doing it the old fashioned way.

Thanks man! Jeez that sounds like one beast of a Miata, any videos of it here on RU-vid? And to answer your question; yes, I think the factory seats were a bit brighter of a red, and after 25 years the leather gets kind of a glossy look. I haven't been able to compare them to any other LE seats unfortunately. I think the color they listed for my seats was burgundy, but if I recall they did have a brighter red available too

Hey, it's been a few years since you recovered your Miata seats. How are they holding up? Any pics? I'm thinking of going w/ this option.

Hey, so my Miata's been stored in my garage for the past year and a half...didn't have much reason to have 2 cars on the road with covid and all, but I'll try to get in there and get some pictures of it this weekend. They're still holding up great but haven't seen a ton of seat time in the past year or two

Problem with zip ties is that as they age they get brittle and will break. Be prepared to fix these seats in a few years.

Did the seats come perforated for the speakers or is that the $100 "genuine leather perforation option"?
@CrogDogsGarage
@CrogDogsGarage 4 года назад
Hmm, my skins had the headrest perforated for the speakers, but I definitely didn't pay a $100 charge for it. It was a few years ago now that I ordered mine, I think I remember choosing an option to have them perforated but if I recall correctly it was free, since my skins were $225 shipped

Actually I just looked at their site, I think the $100 charge is for perforated leather inserts
