I suspect they are but I need to know for sure. I inherited my wife's 2003 QX4 55,000 miles (bought her a new Q60) and the vehicle looks and drives like new. Installed a Pioneer Avic NEX 8100 for Bluetooth & nav and it looks like a new car. The only issue is cracked/torn seats where it's vinyl and not leather. Repairs would cost ~ $900, but new leather seats kit from Bespoke cost about the same.

Problem is they only specify a kit for the Pathfinder and are unsure if the seats are identical.

Could someone please confirm there's no difference?

Thanks.

I'm guessing that the attach points are the same but I don't know about the foam itself or the seam/hog ring attachment layout. It's also possible the wiring is different.

Check out my reupholstery thread for some pictures of the pathfinder seats. I have some more if you want to see anything specific.

If the leather is in good shape it might be less than 900 to have an auto upholstery shop just redo the vinyl.

If you could post pictures of your seats I could help more.

Fwiw, sewing the vinyl diy was the easiest part of my project...

Thank you for your help. I was going to post pics (including the DDIN HU) but couldn't figure out how to upload. I'm guessing I need to put them on a public site, then link to them.

Is your thread the cowhide one?
(Edit: I see that it is. Nice work, looks like a lot of skill, effort & talent went into it. Out of my league.)

To post pictures, you need to wrap the image source URL in image tags, like so.

If you're doing that and they're still not working, it's possible the images aren't accessible from other systems or have expired.
