Mad as Hell

Ok some I came home from work today and started to mow my yard which takes a good 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Moved my BRAND NEW 2011 RZR S so I could get my lawnmower out of building. Proceeded to mow and got the front mowed and as I turn the corner of the house where I could see the RZR I see seat foam on the ground. I could feel my blood pressure boiling for I knew what had happened. My 8 month old Siberian Husky had just chewed the side of the seat back off of the driver seat. ..... Makes me mad just typing this. Sooooo... does anybody now the cheapest route to replace the seat back or just buy a whole nother seat, or have a upholstery shop repair the seat back? Any and all suggestions are welcome. I need it to be repaired as cheap as possible cause after buying this thing and last week I bought a roof and a radio for it. Im one broke joke... Im so broke the bank made me give there calander back Here is a Pic.

I would check with a upholstery shop but get


several estimates.

Uh, sell the dog. Take the $ and replace the seat?

Try CHEAP CYCLE PARTS

You can buy just the back of the seat, but even thats gonna cost over $100.00

Dont think I didnt think about that already. Just a good thing I didnt have my pistol on me at the time , may have had a dead dog. Na hes a good dog just a puppy, it was partly my fault for leaving it where he could get too it. He can be a handful though. Its not the first thing he's chewed up, but probably the most expensive.

you just got to laugh ,my buddies pup chewed my arm rest in my truck last week. At least he has to pay for it.

If you decide to buy a seat don't forget to call carolina polaris(one of our sponsor's) they give us a good discount....

invest in a good shock collar !!!! I got one and it will work wonders , now all I have to do is Buzz him (not a shock) and he listens now !

That dog would be in timeout for sure!!!

He wears a fence shock collar which works most of the time, with his fur so thick it sometimes wont make contact. But a shock on command collar would be nice. Biggest problem is I can never catch him in the act of it. He's a sneaky bastard.

make sure you have the long studs if his coat is real thick !

Yeah I do. Ive even tried shaving his fur where the collar sits. That helped a little.

he's very smart. Sometime I think he's smarter than I am,but thats not saying much.

Yep ... I looked it up ... bout $160 for just the new seat back. Maybe a local upholstery shop could rig something up that wouldn't look bad ... or maybe try RZR forums ... those west coast guys are always taking new stuff off to put aftermarket stuff on.

I would go on down to the Rzr Forum.. Hot Rod Rhino is right, there are guys selling their factory seats all the time... they sell them after they upgrade to the fancy seats.. You could probably pick one up really cheap!

Watch Ebay & check with local sew shop.

Still makes you mad though

I feel your pain brother, had two Huskies for 15 years. The will eat anything they can get thier teeth on, especially the males. My male ate the wiring harness of my new F250 once. Countless wallets & everything in them. Once I made the mistake of leaving them inside unattended when they were puppies. They stripped a new leather sofa of all the leather. Pulled a potted tree into the middle of the living room, pulled it out, dirt all over white carpet, and then played in the dirt. That day they were close to becoming dog jerky. They eventually grow out of it but a teething husky is hell on four legs. Great dogs...VERY SMART....and males like to challenge thier owners for alpha role.

I know so well, no shock collar will contain them (been there done that). A male will find a way to get loose and explore, it's in thier nature to run and explore. Mine landed in doggy jail several times. He got too smart for the dog catcher to catch him. Then the dog catcher would just leave nasty notes on my front door.

Rzr_Joe. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. "dog jerky".

sorry about your seat man!
quick story, few years back I let my youngest brother borrow our mercury topaz. his wife left their Akita in the car and went shopping with her mother. When they returned, the only thing in the car he didn't destroy was the steering coulumn! No lie, $4,500.00 worth of damage to the interior, headliner, seatbelts were chewed in half, carpet, seat foam every friggin where!!
