Anyone with a 2012 or 2013 GS have these seats besides me? :bigears

We know the GS has a wide body and soft tires but the seats are the same as all the others. You can get the fancy Logo for a few more dollars.
|
No luck getting the backs?
|
Mine are titanium in the center and ebony on the outside

The only options now are to have the origninal manufacturor who made them for GM to make another set...and that will take 8-10 weeks. Either that or change the seats completely to something other than the car was originally equipped with. The main reason for this thread is to say if you have these seats, care for them like they are they are irreplacable...because they are exactly that. :banghead: |
You didn't ask but I'd wait the 8-10 weeks to get those exact ones back in your car!!

I think there are federal laws governing parts availability? Am I wrong? |

My new '13 GS has cashmere and black seats, but the center of the seat bottom and back is cashmere, not black like yours.
An option you might want to consider..... Will post a photo of them if requested. |

Any part can be replaced on the C6, I would do more homework.
You may have to wait for the part to be ordered, but it is replacable. In my case, the driver side seat is fine but the passenger seat was ripped up. The bottom line for me is like one poster already suggested...I will be waiting 8 more weeks for the manufacturor to make a new matching seat. Big sigh because they've had the car for 7 weeks now. 8 more makes a total of 15 weeks without my Corvette. Yes, the seats are not toally irreplaceable but as long as it takes to get another one, you will think it almost is. :leaving: |
The seats themselves aren't the problem...the correct replacement seat COVERS are the issue, right? They aren't trying to replace the actual seat...or are they? :confused:
|
I really feel for you. Nobody should have to wait that long for a seat cover. My 07 had a two-tone interior with crossed flags and after reading this story I'm glad my 12GS has nothing but a solid Ebony interior.
Good luck my friend. :thumbs: |

Yes. You are correct. The issue is one of seat covers. :yesnod:
Duct Tape the passenger seat and use your car until the new seat/seat cover arrives :D |

I was looking at getting a kit to upgrade my 2011 to the newer seats, will these guys be any help? http://www.partstaxi.com/products.php?partID=1636 They sell a LOT of seat upgrade kits, maybe they can help find one in stock somewhere, might be worth an email or a call. |

I guess I'll just hide the bad seat with a big beach towel or something. :ack: |
