Base model seat material

I have a 1993 base model with the cloth black seats. The drivers side seat has some tearing and fading. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the cloth material or know if you can buy the covers to have them reupholstered?

Does anyone have a seat they would want to part out?

There are a couple spare strips of the material underneath each seat, if that helps with the torn areas.

Probably not enough for what I need to do!

Does anyone have a set of seats I can harvest material from?

I called Ray at Malloy Mazda and he said you can't get the seat covers any longer...

A few years ago, you could still order the leather covers, wonder if that's no longer the case either.

Just for perspective, the factory Mazda covers were listed at $2500 a piece.

Hoping the material I can get a hold of is close enough of a match for you.

A quality upholstery shop can match any factory color, pattern, texture, etc. Just find one and ask.

What are we looking at for a pair of seats? I'm sure it's cheaper to find a nice set of used seats but I'm sure redone ones will last longer if done properly. I have tan touring seats and am looking for the best route.
