2007 Toyota Corolla LE.

Trying to get a color code for the upholstery shop so they can repair the front drivers seat bottom. I have to supply the fabric (it's not leather, just the standard fabric - and I only need the middle section section replaced as it has a hole in it).

The door sticker shows FB11. The "F" is fabric I understand. The "B" is base?

And the 11 means what?

Here's what I found at toyodiy.com but I'm not sure what I'm looking at.



What does "C&A" mean? What does "Seiren" mean?

How do I know which to order?

Might be cheaper to get a used seat from the junkyard. Plenty of the gen 9 in the yards.

Yeah, I went to the U pull it this weekend. All of the seats have the same defect. Looks like somebody was smoking in the car and an ash fell on the seat and burned a hole dead center in the front. So no good seat bottoms available at my “u pull it”.

Did that already also. They sell whole seats only and the cost to ship is ridiculous due to size and weight.

Yeah shipping is expensive these days.

What does "C&A" mean? May be a German Company that supplied cloth to Toyota?

What does "Seiren" mean? I found a Japanese company by that name that may be the supplier?

How do I know which to order?

Is yours built in Fremont, ca, Ontario, Canada or Japan?

1Y - California
2Y - Canada
J - Japan

For models built in California, seats were supplied by Johnson Control Inc. The suppliers you mentioned, might be for Canada and Japan respectively.

The sticker says "built in USA of Canadian and Japanese parts" at the National United Manufacturer's Site. Based on that, I'd say the parts came from Canada. Maybe when I pull the seats, I'll find a tag of some sorts.

Here's what the driver seat in the car looks like currently:

As you can see, there are two different materials. The middle section has a "checked, herringbone" design, while the outer bolsters are a solid color.

I need to replace the middle part as it's the damaged section.

What I'm thinking I might do is find a "donor" car and remove the material from the back seat if it's in good shape and supply that to the upholstery shop. Hard to find right now for some reason.

This is the back seat in my car.

Shows the pattern and cloth better.

The seat bottom might be available still.

Starts with 1N

Ok. C&A is probably Canada and America.

you’ll need to search the inter webs to see if you can find the seat cover.
