Flexsteel front seats

[Richpatty]

There should be labels under your seats with part numbers that Bauer can use….

I don't know if anyone mentioned... Bauer is a company that actually has ex-flex steel employees. They have the patterns for your upholstery. They can use the # on the tag to bring out the correct pattern. They will give you a site to look at colors. Your old chair's covering color may not be available...and chances are it was an inferior product to begin with. Bauer will link you to the fabrics they use...and you can get a rough idea. From there...find a few, and ask --- they will send you little samples that you can actually compare to you old color if you are trying to match -- or just get a good feel for which you prefer. From there...you can have them make the covers and send them to you to have swapped out locally, or DIY. OR you can schedule a meeting at their location. We went last summer. They have electric for you to hook-up. We arrived the evening before, and there were probably four coaches there including us. They told us to just open a blind or peek out when we awake and the tech will come over to the coach. We stuck our head out...and he came over to chat... brought back a dolly...was in taking out the two Captains chairs in no time. He also tested the switches in the pedasle and put a new bearing on the base. They really go the extra mile. They took it into the shop...and later that day were out to reinstall the finished product. They gave us the option of replacing the foam in the seat...and since we expect to keep this coach for a very long time...we accepted that offer.... WOW. I didn't realize how much 8 1/2 years make the old foam kinda not so comfortable. They will keep you old FLEXSTEEL logo if you want...but they replaced ours with a nice new BAUER logo. We are super happy with their service from start to finish. I think we're going to skip this year...but in the upcoming years...we'll go again...as we need for the dinette...which is already starting to crack, but not full on flake. Then the two sofas...which are still in pretty good shape...basically because we always keep them covered. I can say without hesitation...sunlight is what destroys the old fabric. Ours started with the Co-pilot seat...which has the sun beating in the door window. The other furnishing stay shaded most of the time. But eventually they all get enough sunlight. And wear. Probably why one side of our dinette is starting to go.

I can't recommend them highly enough. We added it to a trip which took us to Bauer, and Nappanee, and then had a fantastic time touring Michigan. Make it a trip...you'll have a blast.

Just made an appointment with Bauer for the driver and passenger seat. The number they are looking for is on a paper tag that is folded and stuck between the foam padding and the springs under the seating surface. Here's what it looks like.
