I guess that serves as a decent temporary fix, but I'd hardly call that a repair.

Yea it does. I'll up some better pics later of both seats. Each sheet cost 99 cents, so it's a two dollar fix lol.

OMG there is no way in hell I'm doing this. LOL

I appreciate the effort but you should save for some covers or
pickup some used seats.

I could be mistaken, but in the 350z I believe the seat covers actually zip off on the back and you can replace them with new ones. You just need to order a set of new leathers and swap them. The old seats used to use "hog rings" to permanently affix the leather, but I think the 350z has an easy swap. Correct me if I am wrong.

UPDATE: I just checked and it appears they are just roll-off, roll-on.
