Seat Cover Replacement

[GrandRover]

Our 2023 Thor Axis 24.1 passenger seat has some scratches on it from our cat. Thor has offered to sell me the seat cover replacement at a really reduced price. Now, before anyone says "why bother" .... I am not strongly considering doing the replacement but am asking if anyone has done this and what is involved.

Thanks, Mike

Enquiring minds want to know exactly what Thor considers "a greatly reduced price."

I would like to know because if reduced enough and then I can get 2-3 years might be worth it. If their idea of greatly reduced is $2000 than NO. Also is that one seat or everthing

Well, if you must know

It retails for $580.35. They offered to sell it to me for dealer cost of $290.18 + shipping.

I have a message out to them asking if it is the entire seat cover (back and bottom) or just the bottom.

It would be nice if they offered a complete set of covers at a reduced price since so many people need to replace everything after 5 years

Just for comparison: I replaced the entire seat with a better quality one for less than the "retail" price of their seat cover.

Yeah, they don't make the Eclipse any more and prices have gone up since 2020.

Wow, inflation at its finest.

Same here. I purchased and installed new seats from shop4seats last July. They are more comfortable and cost $547 each. Shipping was a bit much at almost $400, but they are far superior to the junk Thor installed in my Hurricane.

Look for a tag on the flap on bottom of seat if Williamsburg Furniture call them with the numbers on tag gives pattern if they still have pattern.We chose Ultraleather and color they made us new covers and we installed ourselves. They also had pattern for dinette cushions so they did new covers in ultraleather to match. It was cheaper than local upholstery shops by quite a bit.
