Default Cracked seat and depth finder problems

My 2001 Sabah seat has began to crack. Do anyone knows of a place that I can get replacement slip ons? Also my depth finder stopped working over the weekend any idea what could have happened?

    A slip cover for your seat? Really? Sounds like something that could be bought in the auto dept at Wally World.

    As for the depth sounder, if you do a site search for 'depth finder' or 'transducer' you will find numerous threads discussing this same issue.

    I figure you will need to find a decent local upholstery shop. Depending on how bad the crack is you might find someone that can patch it. I know a member on the Facebook page had some repair work done on a few cracks on his seats, but i don't remember the company name for the place that repaired it. I just know he mentioned they were a franchise with numerous locations.

    That was me. I posted before and after photos on the Mariah Owner's Facebook page because I couldn't get them to post on the website.

    You would never have known there was a one inch tear on the driver's seat. The swim pad looks much better, but it you look closely, you can tell it's been repaired as the stitching is filled in where the tears were.

    Overall, I'm very satisfied that I was able to keep using the original upholstery and the casual observer will never notice it.

    It's so funny trying to figure out who is who on the FB page. It would be handy if our real names popped up under our forum names lol. I thought the pictures looked great. I actually told my Dad about it and showed him the pictures of your repair. I'm not sure if he looked up the nearest location yet - but he is looking for someone to repair a few spots in his 2003 GMC Sierra SLT. The good GM leather/plastic/fake cow is looking rough in a few small places.
