These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The seats on my 2001 996 Cabrio are getting worn out and torn. Looking for original or replacement leather covers. Would consider vinyl if they look ok. In Savannah Beige. Any recommendations? What do you have or what do you recommend? Steve

POST 3Original post

I went to an upholstery shop that was recommended by my local Porsche dealer when my 996 needed some leather work. The shop was able to match my interior leather and replace a few panels, which was a huge improvement. Depending on the condition of your seats, the shop may also be able to repair and dye the damage and get it looking good again.

POST 4Original post

I've just been in touch with Leatherseats.com. I'm waiting on samples, but the prices are very reasonable and the quality looks great. Looked them up. Tim seems like he knows exactly what he's doing.

POST 5Original post

Leatherseats.com makes beautiful seats. But if you are planning on DIY you need to know how to sew.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not doing it myself. Don't think I need to replace all the seats. Maybe should look for an upholstery shop in DC,MD,VA region.
