Yeah it seems quite a few GM models from the 90s suffer from the saggy-ass effect. I recall an ex-girlfriend who had a Cavalier that did the same thing. So far this fix has held up great on my fbody driver's seat, so it should hopefully solve your issues.
Thank you Trevor. It made a world of difference, and considering you can't purchase replacement foam anymore we need methods to preserve what we have 😄
Yeah it's not a terrible job to try and prolong the seat's life. To me, the ROI is worthwhile but I agree with any criticism of GM's interiors in the 90s. They were truly awful, especially the seats.
That's a good question. I have had excellent luck with the 3M general adhesive in the green can as well. I used that to glue carpet in my custom trunk of the 1950 Ford I own. It's even stronger than the stuff I used on the seat.
This video will save me about $200 I was planning on paying an upholstery shop to add some foam to the seats! I know I can do this. However, dude... Clean your car! Clean that fabric while its apart! Shampoo & clean that carpet! Maybe I'm a neat freak, but my interior is damn near mint and will look better when I do this! Just my 2¢ 😎👍
Haha you know it's funny, I saw this comment and forgot to reply but when I was out cleaning the daily driver, it reminded me that I needed to vacuum the fbody 😆 Thanks for the laugh man!
@@DadModsMedia I just did mine ! I did two layers of the cloth doubled over! Fixed the cables and springs and then added additional support with some tape.
@@dupeaccount1647 It's definitely not welding wire because the original wires on these seats are very rigid. I took aluminum fence wiring (like the type you use for electric cattle fences) and wound two strands together to make them extra sturdy then attached them to the mail supports. I show this in the video. The reason I went this route was in addition to already having the aluminum wire for other projects (hanging parts for powdercoating) was it's more flexible and now wider to support the weight better than a single strand. So it's a little over-engineered, between the doubled up wires and duck cloth bladder) but I didn't want to ever deal with the wires cutting into the foam again.
Oh and the aluminum fence wiring can be found locally to most people. I get mine from Menards but I'd wager you can purchase it at Home Depot or Fleet Farm.

How thrashed are your stock seats? Mine were a mess!
Got very similar seats in my 92 k1500 that have quite a few busted wires. Might go do this,I didn't realize it was that simple.

Good info to have available so these cars can stick around longer, very crafty. Great job!

Dude thanks. These seats are so horrible, I was thinking about just buying new seats, but ima try this first

Fantastic job! I wonder if that glue will hold new foam backed alcantara to my headliner.

Another awesome video!! Love anything involving the Camaro

First! But also good to know
need more f body content!!
It's coming man!
Where did you get the hooks / where did you get them?
Are you referring to the wires that support the seat foam?
@@DadModsMedia Yeah I did some searching. Is it just bare welding wire? I found some spools of them on amazon.
