When I was a kid growing up in rural Montana my Dad had an old '74 GMC pickup. The bench seat was shot. We had no money so he drove way out into the deep woods where there lived an old hermit who made money by selling all sorts of stuff that he had locked away in a bunch of old shipping containers. Dad bought a roll of super thick, heavy duty carpet. It was the type of carpet you would see in a gym or the entrance way of a public building. He reupholstered the seat with it. It looked great but the old man who sold him the carpet had let his goats shelter in the container with the carpet so his truck always had a slight goat smell after that. At first it was unpleasant. But I got used to it and now I'd love to be able to take another drive in that old goaty '74 pickup.
I worked for 13 yrs at an automotive plant manufacturing seats and we always fix tears in cushion and back foam with spray adhesive and never let it dry . Put it together wet for a better bond. Your method is correct
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Try letting it dry for a couple of minutes if you can. The only reason to not wait and instead put the parts together immediately is if you need to adjust the position of the parts. If you let it dry for a couple of minutes first it will stick at first contact and not let you reposition, but it wil adhere better.
3:33 I never understood what all the tools and threads and “jump into it” piles in my Pépère’s garage, nor did I understand why he never had to leave the comfort of home and his beloved detached one car garage. You sir, have just made it all sooo very clear 🙏 thank you 🫂
Hello OK, Thank you so much for saying so! Sometimes people will ask a hundred questions about something so simple. I just tell them not to overthink this. Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks for doing this video. What is so simple for you is NOT so for newbies. Here is what I learned in this 10 minute video (1) What density foam to use (2) Do not allow adhesive to tack up (and why), go ahead and assemble right away. (3) Use sew foam to cover over the repair area. If I had not watched this video, I would have guessed at the density, allowed the glue to tack up and would not have used the sew foam to cover the repair.
Anyone who tells you to not let the glue get tacky Before You Stick the foam together is wrong. I used to repair seats for a living and learned from a master of his craft who owned the business for decades. You always wait for the glue to get tacky Before You Stick two pieces of foam together no exceptions

I paid $ 1:33 170.00 for same job in ND. I was to afraid to cut my own seat up and not be able to sew it back up correctly. Thank you for your time and work.
Great Job! We 3d scan tired & worn seat foams, reverse engineer then cnc a brand new foam for the customer which also gives the customer a more comfortable ride.
Hello 3D, Wow, that sounds exciting! As you know I have been doing old school for 44 years. That is what I show in my videos. Like I always say, there is always more than one way of doing things! Hehe. Please keep liking and watching!
Richard, I'm just starting out, and I like your hacksaw blade idea. I always have some in my toolbox for other projects, but no breadcutter!! You're so gracious with your knowledge. Thank you
i did that on my old xj, but added extra padding to the bolsters for a sporting look when I deleted the sliders & lowered the suspension ~4". The seats lowered ~3" with the sliders gone. They did not move, so I put the seats where I wanted. I also put on shorter tires, which made it quicker, and lowered it more. I made my 2 door/2wd XJ SUV into a fast(er) 3 door hatchback car.
nice to see foam repair done without a bunch of filing, sanding and cheese grating etc................ good, quick and end result looks just as good to me!!!!!!!!!1
Amigo, I've been a mechanic for 32 years and as such, i have had to replace seat skins for blemishes under warranty Many years ago. Boy do i remember hog rings! I was TOTALLY impressed by your custome foam repair skills! I can do that! Thanks for the insight, the video was awesome. Mad respect my brother.

total DIY dude here- time rich money poor with an old 99 Mazda truck to redo the seats- THANK YOU for this video and your content- it is appreciated! SUBSCRIBED! Now if I can just crank out the patterns next... HA! thanks again!
I just did something similar to my BMW sport seats. The driver side outer bolster cushion was badly damaged from years of being rubbed on, I went to a craft store and purchased a nice piece of firm foam to replace it. Figuring out how to cut it was a bit of a challenge, but ultimately I shaped it with a small pneumatic sanding tool I have. It’s a small 2 inch disc that rotates at a very high speed. It shaved down the foam very nice, and allowed me to get the proffer shape and profile that was necessary before installing the new seat cover pieces. Seven sections to that seat, what a pain in the butt. I bought it from a company named L seat, I would have loved to use a local upholstery shop, but there isn’t really anything like that here where I live, such a shame, I love giving local businesses my money over big companies when I can.
Hello Schro, I love hearing stories like this where you set out to do something and then you saw it through to the end. Now you have a satisfaction and can be proud that you did it! Remember learning is doing! Please keep liking and watching!
Just found your channel thanks for sharing many professionals don't, don't want to give away their secrets, I wouldn't care if I show them or not, God brings in customers.
I've learned how to do this years ago and repaired many seats, then i went fixing mine's but then realized i could buy a complete set of seats out of a brand new Audi they converted to RS look for 120 bucks, after that burning the old seats is the best way to fix them, and installing new ones by adapting the mounts on the chassis is way easier, unless you are fixing an antique or furnitures, so having this knowledge is well worth it.
Hello John, Yep, that is one way of getting it done. Or if you got an old work truck in Texas, you can do it this way. No adapting mounts or messing with airbags. My cost was under 5 bucks. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Hello. Yes for a work truck it's the best solution, not even getting a new seat of the same kind worth it cause we know it's not going to stay mint for long. However this is knowledge that one should have but will show its glory in other kind of projects.
I have 04 FORD Encinoline work van, my drv seat is damaged like that. Not sure if I will attempt to repair myself but thanks for sharing the process. Pretty kool. 👍👍
Hello User, I love hearing from felloe upholsterers. Just keep going, the years just pile on as they have for me and 44 years. Please keep liking and watching!
Most of the times I didn't even cut out the "Cancer" you referred to. I would just saturate the damaged area with contact cement, let it dry and then spray the HD foam I was using for a patch. When glued together I then used my small sandpaper disk grinder and shaped the foam to match the original contour of the rest of the seat. Sometimes I'd put the scrim foam but most times I was able to match up the contour of the original foam well enough that it didn't need the additional quarter-inch scrim on it to smooth it out.
GREAT VIDEO,, KNOW TO TO REPAIR, THE FOAM NOW, I WILL LOOK AT YOUR OTHER VIDEOS, ON HOW TO REPAIR SEAT COVER, ITS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, SLIDING IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK. 😎
Hello Rudy !! I loved the video! I’ve been doing this the same way you have shown. But, I do use a electric knife.😬. Trying to match that kind of fabric is hard. I noticed you use vinyl. That’s cool. Yesterday I did two boat cushions. Man, it wore my body out. I hate doing boats but, sometimes I take on a couple of cushions. I love your videos Rudy !!! Keep it up! Eddie Perez
Hello Eddie, Thank you so much! The thing here where I am is the guys want to use vinyl for their work trucks. I love boat cushions as they are pretty easy and profitable because usually the customer brings a bunch in. Please keep liking and watching!
This man is honestly hilarious and he doesn't even know it. I laughed at a good portion of the things you said. "Who you going to believe" got me and that's when i knew, i had to listen. Was he to arrogant to know his wrongdoings, or was he so smart he was willing to call out EVERYONE on the internet. 😂 I'm not making fun of you man, you did a great job. I was just abused
Hello The Deep, I literally called just about all the RUclips experts. Mostly young guys who watched other young guys videos. Thanks for your kind words. Please keep liking and watching!
@oldschoolautoupholstery well I'm young, but I've been trained by a lot of experts. I'm actually glad I found your videos. I'm working on an old work can, and I'd like to fix all of it. I watched your roof liner video.
This is the second video i have seen of your. I hopefully in the near future attempt to try to re do the front leather seats on my wife's 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited .
Hello Lambretta, I hope you can see a lot more than two of my videos. Hehe. I think you will do just fine with your 4Runner project. Remember learning is doing! Please keep liking and watching!
I was in the automotive sector living in Houston for 30 years up until a few years ago so if you need some direction on one or more upholstery people to utilize let me know
I used to do this for a living and you must wait for the glue to get tacky Before You Stick To Pieces of phone together or you're not doing it correctly and the seat will fail. You use an electric knife to cut the foam to shape then you use a die grinder to form it to mirror the other side. Do you use the much thinner phone to overlap the thick piece of foam you glue down and you cut every Edge at an angle and shave it down with the die grinder until it's perfect.
Hello Ken, There is no real wrong way of doing this. It's not rocket science. Like I always say, there is more than one way of getting things done. The name of this video is "DIY basic seat foam repair". I am a working upholstery shop and have to keep things moving all the time. You can see 44 years of my work here: rudolphsupholstery.com Please keep liking and watching!
I have been gluing foam for sporting projects for almost 30 years. I have found closed cell you want to let it sit/get tacky. Open cell you can apply it wet. I figure this is because airflow still allows the foam to dry more easily.
Thanks for sharing this video, you're so good at explaining what it is you do! I'm wondering, would you ever add the 1/4" scrim to the whole seat or just the part you've repaired? I guess it might add too much bulk for the cover to fit if you did? It's just I'm going to refurbish a bench seat in my 19 year old van and thought it might make it feel newer if I covered the whole thing rather than just the repaired section. I'd love to know what your thoughts are on this if you have the time. Thanks again for running such a great channel.
Hello Bloss, You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words! 1/4" foam or scrim will not effect any bulk. Just think of it like bodywork on a car. Bad bodywork shows threw the new paint. Same for the foam repairs under the upholstery. Just get your shape right then reinstall your seat cover. Please keep liking and watching!
I have a 64 Dodge 440 Polara that someone restored the front split bench seat and the drivers back is dropping badly so I would like to see a video on how to repair that situation. Thanks
So i glued in a piece,reshaped it and glued a piece of vinyl over top like a patch. All these gm truck seats seem to wear in the same spot. Now the cover can move without dragging back and forth over the foam.
I'm having a heck of a time finding replacement foam that looks as solid as that. Anyone with a helpful link for that kind of foam... please? Video is terrific btw.

My recently fixed 1999 k-1500 has a bar, killing my lower back. The truck has not been abused, so I don’t think it’s bent, but can I have it reupholstered with new foam and fabric?
Im going to buy a new foam and factory cover for my silverado and just clip it in, but for more luxury cars the way you do it is the only way! Do you think you could ever wash a complete and non damaged cover in a washing machine?
Hello Drun, Yes you can do that, but then you would also have to change the patterns on your new seat covers to reflect the seat shape. Please keep liking and watching!
You must do a lot of these seat repairs, that portion of the bottom driver seat cushion as well as the edge of the seat back that gets rubbed against every time someone sits in the drivers seat.
Great video as I am also looking for a way to repair the foam of my truck that was damaged by rats. But I am curious, may i know what is the adhesive you are using in your spray to attach the foam?
Hey Old Timer, I'm back!! Question, once you glued the new foam in, you covered with a backed foam sheet??...what's it called and is there an online source? As always, keep up the great videos!! Thanks!!
Hello The, Thanks for hanging in there with me. Backed foam is called scrim. Any upholstery supplier would have this. Just Google, "Upholstery supplier near me". Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Thanks for the info! It seems that upolsterers here in the woods of Maine don't carry it. 'S okay, my wife, an awesome seamstress, thinks she has something that'll work. I'm doing the same repair on an '08 'Yota. Wish me luck...my first attempt at this stuff...Take care...

@@kenshinhimura9387that’s what the directions say but doesn’t always work best. Depends on application.
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Try letting it dry for a couple of minutes if you can. The only reason to not wait and instead put the parts together immediately is if you need to adjust the position of the parts. If you let it dry for a couple of minutes first it will stick at first contact and not let you reposition, but it wil adhere better.

Thanks for doing this video. What is so simple for you is NOT so for newbies. Here is what I learned in this 10 minute video
(1) What density foam to use
(2) Do not allow adhesive to tack up (and why), go ahead and assemble right away.
(3) Use sew foam to cover over the repair area.
If I had not watched this video, I would have guessed at the density, allowed the glue to tack up and would not have used the sew foam to cover the repair.

Anyone who tells you to not let the glue get tacky Before You Stick the foam together is wrong. I used to repair seats for a living and learned from a master of his craft who owned the business for decades. You always wait for the glue to get tacky Before You Stick two pieces of foam together no exceptions
The sound of those scissors cutting through the foam was so satisfying

i did that on my old xj, but added extra padding to the bolsters for a sporting look when I deleted the sliders & lowered the suspension ~4".
The seats lowered ~3" with the sliders gone. They did not move, so I put the seats where I wanted.
I also put on shorter tires, which made it quicker, and lowered it more. I made my 2 door/2wd XJ SUV into a fast(er) 3 door hatchback car.

I just did something similar to my BMW sport seats. The driver side outer bolster cushion was badly damaged from years of being rubbed on, I went to a craft store and purchased a nice piece of firm foam to replace it. Figuring out how to cut it was a bit of a challenge, but ultimately I shaped it with a small pneumatic sanding tool I have. It’s a small 2 inch disc that rotates at a very high speed. It shaved down the foam very nice, and allowed me to get the proffer shape and profile that was necessary before installing the new seat cover pieces. Seven sections to that seat, what a pain in the butt. I bought it from a company named L seat, I would have loved to use a local upholstery shop, but there isn’t really anything like that here where I live, such a shame, I love giving local businesses my money over big companies when I can.

Hello John, Thank you for your kind words! Please keep liking and watching!
I've learned how to do this years ago and repaired many seats, then i went fixing mine's but then realized i could buy a complete set of seats out of a brand new Audi they converted to RS look for 120 bucks, after that burning the old seats is the best way to fix them, and installing new ones by adapting the mounts on the chassis is way easier, unless you are fixing an antique or furnitures, so having this knowledge is well worth it.
Hello John, Yep, that is one way of getting it done. Or if you got an old work truck in Texas, you can do it this way. No adapting mounts or messing with airbags. My cost was under 5 bucks. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Hello. Yes for a work truck it's the best solution, not even getting a new seat of the same kind worth it cause we know it's not going to stay mint for long.
However this is knowledge that one should have but will show its glory in other kind of projects.

Most of the times I didn't even cut out the "Cancer" you referred to.
I would just saturate the damaged area with contact cement, let it dry and then spray the HD foam I was using for a patch.
When glued together I then used my small sandpaper disk grinder and shaped the foam to match the original contour of the
rest of the seat.
Sometimes I'd put the scrim foam but most times I was able to match up the contour of the original foam well enough that it didn't need the additional quarter-inch scrim on it to smooth it out.

I used to do this for a living and you must wait for the glue to get tacky Before You Stick To Pieces of phone together or you're not doing it correctly and the seat will fail. You use an electric knife to cut the foam to shape then you use a die grinder to form it to mirror the other side. Do you use the much thinner phone to overlap the thick piece of foam you glue down and you cut every Edge at an angle and shave it down with the die grinder until it's perfect.

I have been gluing foam for sporting projects for almost 30 years. I have found closed cell you want to let it sit/get tacky. Open cell you can apply it wet. I figure this is because airflow still allows the foam to dry more easily.

I'm wondering, would you ever add the 1/4" scrim to the whole seat or just the part you've repaired? I guess it might add too much bulk for the cover to fit if you did? It's just I'm going to refurbish a bench seat in my 19 year old van and thought it might make it feel newer if I covered the whole thing rather than just the repaired section.
I'd love to know what your thoughts are on this if you have the time.
Thanks again for running such a great channel.
Hello Bloss, You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words! 1/4" foam or scrim will not effect any bulk. Just think of it like bodywork on a car. Bad bodywork shows threw the new paint.
