Default Saf Leather seat base broken - HELP!
I leant my car out to a friend recently and it came back with a broken seat base and i need it fixed asap as its currently ruining the bolsters. Dont want to get into a debate over who should fix it so only helpful suggestions are appreciated on how to fix this...





Might have to stick one of my bucket seats in as a temp measure.

Thanks in advance

Ran

The base should be the same for any sierra withthe height adjustment so just get one if them and swap it over

Or remove the seat and weld the broken bit back together again, the pics don't really show what's broken on the phone screen

There are these non original replacements. Cheaper. No idea if they do the job though.
