Strap Tension - Rebuilding Seats
Since the pandemic the resource I used in the US no longer carries the material. I found this source on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/162029179414 There may be other retailers in the US who have the material in stock I recommend you search etsy and other upholstery supply houses for local availability.

Strap Tension - Rebuilding Seats
When using a Pirelli strap material: Each of the 8 straps are 18-1/2” overall. Each end of the strap is folded over the clip with an overlap of 2” Results in a 14-1/2” finished length strap. Other strapping material may have a different elasticity, requiring a different overall length. Keith

Kia Sportage Door Seals
The Kia rear door w/s is a bit longer than the front, and can be seamed below the threshold plate. The rear doors generally have experienced much less use than the fronts, therefore are usually in better condition. Keith

I contacted them…they do not have a close-up photo of their hose which they will share, so I cannot determine if their hoses “braid” matches OEM. Keith

DIY: How to Recover Your Z Seats - LOTS OF PICTURES
You do not need to replace the entire seat back and bottom, just obtain LH side brackets and sliders. (Note, the seat belt hook mounting screw hole would have to be drilled in the left (outer) side of the seat back.) Keith
