PilotOdyssey.com :: View topic - Recoving a 350 Seat

As far as I know (and I checked) no one has a quick install seat cover that fits the Odyssey. I have taken the seat down to the local upholsterer and he wanted 250 bucks to recover mine. Cheaper just to buy a new seat. If you were to find a seat cover that works well and looks good for the Ody or the Pilot, let us know.....it wold be the find of the century for us Pilot Ody owners!

I believe it was our best friend and life long buddy from Aftersuck Motorspurts! They were probably way overpriced and the quality probably sucked also!

Yea I was selling them for about 5 years and the demand dropped so I got out of it. They were $89.98 and were of good quality and fit.

Anyone carry seat covers anymore?

I went to a fabric store and bought 1 yard of vinyl material for each seat. I used some 3M Spray Adhesive and a staple gun to hold it on.

Just spray the seat face with the adhesive and lay the material over it stretching it to remove the wrinkles & trimming the excess off as you staple it to the back edge.

I hope this helps & good luck...

I would like to try and recover both of my 350 seats myself as they are both torn pretty good. What have some of you done on yours? How hard was it? Are you happy with the results? Thanks in advance, Nick

Rand No it was not him I would have remembered that they were a nice cover and priced right, I think the guy went to a boat place that does canvas work and had them made up? Someone here has to remember lol

It was Odyknuck I think, and also was CARL STONE making them too at 1 time? Randy at odysalvage was selling them last time I looked COSMICQUADS.COM does great restores on seats for 3 wheelers, you might want to email them.I purchased a cover from Odyknuck back in the day and it was a good product, never had an issue with it, try to PM here.

I would say the demand is out there. I wound up buying an aftermarket seat from Randy to replace the wife's trashed seat and a Pilot seat to replace the ripped up one in mine. I did a post back in April of 09 about this same subject and it got just over 300 hits. How about a poll to see if they would sell? A lot of guys make due because they don't know where or how to get something. Rand

Recoving a 350 Seat is still one of my future projects, please tell me how you've achieved this kind of «crappy» one :). And, just to say, once the water gets in the seat's cushion (usually once in a ride... and for the rest of the ride!) you can't get rid of it fast. AS I was thinking about having a smooth and «breathing» material for my seat, instead of a «plastic leather», you gave me a nice idea: what about to drill some holes into the seat plastic to make it breath a bit more easily and get rid of water faster... Hum... I'm thinking about it...

Here is what I ended up doing, They look kind of crappy, but no more wet pants after a wash. Good enough for me.

I went to a fabric store and bought 1 yard of vinyl material for each seat. I used some 3M Spray Adhesive and a staple gun to hold it on. Just spray the seat face with the adhesive and lay the material over it stretching it to remove the wrinkles & trimming the excess off as you staple it to the back edge. I hope this helps & good luck...

But now I'm thinking about more comfort, more support on sides, and some more «breathing» capabilities for my old seat. Stay tuned! You just gave me some good ideas! Gotta have a look at some Recaro seats! Tx!

If you just take the seat off the seat frame(couple bolts) the water will come out of those holes. Set the seat on the floor and step on it until no water comes out. If a guy doesn't care about the looks they make this rubber stuff that comes in rolls and sticks like tape. My dad did his big red seat with it when I was a kid and its still as nice as the say he did it. It doesn't look that bad but definately not as pretty as stock.
