    While looking in my Maverick last weekend I noticed that the seats deffinately need some work. They aren't missing much if any stuffing, but wear from the sun, and well, just plain old age have worn the original fabric out. There are places were you can see the foam and others where it's brittle and cracks easily.

    What have you guys done in the past? How much would it cost to have both the front seats and the rear seat redone? Would it be cheaper to purchase brand new seats?

    reupholstering is usualy in the $400-500 range, And if you want new Maverick seats you wont find them.

    If you shop around and don't get too fancy, you can probably get the seats reupholstered for $400. Figure about $250 for front buckets and $150 for the back seat. If you have a bench seat up front, you may be able to have it done for $150-$175. It also depends on where you live, as prices vary from one state to the next...
