Thank you for sharing your hard earned skillset. I worked in an uphostery shop as a young boy, we primarilly did restaurant booths, caskets, and rv's. I appreciate your sharing as I would like to do a blown seat airbag. With your example I think I can do the job.
Hello Tlk, Really, it would just be duplicating what was original, but in your material selection and style. Then incorporating the original airbag parts. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Plant, I use T92 bonded nylon or polyester thread for everything I do. The thread and material is no match for an exploding air bag. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Jonathan, Thank you so much for watching! I am located in East Texas. I pretty much only do local work. This keeps me very busy. Many people from the web ask for my services but I have to turn them down. It would be impossible for me to do it all. I appreciate you checking with me. Please keep watching!
Nice work. Can you tell me how you closed the two back side seams? I didn't see it in the video. Also, so I understand correctly, the force of the airbag will automatically break through the side seams? If so, do you use a lightweight thread, or a heavy upholstery thread?
Thank you! I sew it as a normal french seam with regular machine thread. The airbag deployment is very forceful and destructive. It will either split the thread, destroy the vinyl at the perforation, or split the vinyl.
Hello Bruce, Not that important. Like I always say, it is not rocket science. Just don't go too cheap on the hog rings! Hehe Please keep liking and watching!
what type of thread is used...I was told if the wrong thread is used the new airbag won't deploy properly, opening up the possibility of a future lawsuit.. ??

Great video, as always!! 😍😍😍 About this airbag cover procedure, I've read that OEMs that manufacture car covers have very special and precise procedures tu stitch airbag covers, and the machine is computer controller so that it prints a label showing the exact information for this stitch, tension, length... to monitor every single operation, and that is why most shops do not resew airbag covers, as if there is a problem in the airbag deployment, it can be very dangerous for the person in the seat. I also read that they use a special thread, made from cotton, which breaks easily when the airbag deploys. Perhaps you could investigate a little bit about that, and perhaps use cotton read, just in case there is a problem in one of the seats that you redo? 😉 You are great, and I would like you not to have a single problem if an airbag seat cover that you have repaired does not deploy correctly, especially in a "sue happy" country like the USA 😅😅
Hello Delta, Thanks for the thought! I do not think it is rocket science. I do know that the thread and perforated material is no match for the exploding force of the airbag deployment. I have seen the damage when the airbag goes off. Thanks for watching!
If you pull the seat to make a damage repair, not air bag related, can you disconnect the air bag without fear of activating the air bag? Or does a dealership have to disconnect and reconnect air bag? Want to make a repair on side bolster with a side airbag
Hello Todd, Personally, I never disconnect the yellow airbag wire. I do the work while the seat is in the car. I don't want to pain my customers by having to take the car to have the airbag light reset. I never disconnect the battery. It is not because I am afraid of setting off an air bag. That has never happened in 25 years of working on air bag seats.

@@oldschoolautoupholstery I understand that any seam will blow out but the speed it has to go thru the seam and allow the bag to deploy is a matter of life or death.
