In this video I show you how to remove the seat skins in a car. You may need to figure out how to remove the seat in your car, this video was recorded on a 1998 Volvo V70. For safety purposes, disconnect the battery to prevent the airbag from deploying or setting off a error code that you will not be able to reset.
I got new 850R seat skins from Elwood and this video totally saved me another $250 getting an upholsterer to fit them
jamesinc87 Good deal. Thanks for watching.

I'd really like to see the back rest redone! I'm going to be attempting this one this summer a how to video would be fantastic!!
Did you watch this video?
@@RobertDIY yep sure did. Your doing bottom cushion not back rest
Great job, cant tell it was ever repaired :-)
Looks like you had to fight a bit, but you won again robert :-)
zx8401ztv They are a lot of work the first time around. Gets easier each time.
Great video doing this in spring
Cool
Thank you Robert...
+GUY MULLINS you are welcome
I also used zip ties to reassemble the leather upholstery on my Honda when I replaced the heated seat. The biggest problem I had was removing the big clips and I was not in any position to go through the hassle of putting those things back in. My leather was also worn a little bit but not ripped. It would be nice to replace that at some point but right now I don't have that kind of money.
Michael Sackstein If you find a good set in the junk yard, they usually sell them for $35 per seat.
Robert DIY Hey Robert, When you say $35 per seat, Do you mean for the bottom, the back and the head rest when applicable? Do they charge more than that for cloth or vinyl or leather? I have an 02 mustang that I am trying to RE-DO with/for my son. I have stopped trying to go to the junk yard because I had such a hard time finding anything for any of my mustangs. (88 5.0 fast back, 95,97,99 and 02) I have not tried in years but trying to buy everything new is just so expensive. So I am spending a LOT of time on your videos, looking for ways to do stuff ourselves and to save $$. Appreciate any help and thanks for taking the time to make these great videos. You are a great help!
Junk yards are trying to be a better service for profit sake. An entire seat, leather and powered is usually about $35 each.
oh wow, thanks..I'm gonna check it out..I had no idea they were that cheap..cool. Appreciate the info.
Whoa! I need to see more of the process where you did something to secure the air bag deployment module. This has been one of the things which I've been concerned about - I'm reluctant to work on something where the air bag might EXPLODE. I've never been in a car when an air bag went off but have had a couple of friends tell me it was like a shotgun going off in a phone booth. Kids have been KILLED when their air bag blew. It's naturally something that requires extra care. Could you go over the details of that process some more?

Thank you. Most helpful !!!
You are welcome
Nice job Robert
Thanks for watching
verry good and helpful vid. thanks.
+Djanko Kahn thanks for watching.
Thanks for the new video Robert! My drivers side seat is getting very worn on my S70 on the left torso top part of the seat. Was trying to figure out what to do about that as well....now my question for you is if I had that replaced with black vinyl instead of black leather (like all the seats currently are.) would it visually look any different? I don't care how it feels but am curious whether it would look different than my passenger and rear seats if I only replaced the skin on the drivers side
nicholas petersen Not really. As stated in the video, most of the seat is already vinyl.
Hi robert or any one else who may know, i was wondering if you know if any seats from other volvo models such as v70 or any thing else would fit in a 2001 C70
Thank you and very helpful videos!
good job dude! ;)
+Fast1098R thanks

+stef liot you are welcome.
man you country. lol very informative. keep up the good work sir
+T Oliver lol, a country boy from Pittsburgh. Thanks for watching.
+Robert DIY outstanding job sir. I know country, I'm from Texas
+T Oliver I guess I lived in Arkansas to long.
Hey Robert - I have a 99 v70 XC. I pulled a whole driver's seat from a 98 v70 and I'm reading that there's more than a few differences (seat belt attachment and SIPS). My 99 seat is comfortable but is very worn and the seam stiching is really going in a lot of places. Would you suggest transferring the bottom and back leather skins only - and keeping the seat frame, springs, padding heaters etc as is? Or should I try and retrofit the whole 98 seat into the 99?
+steverahe yes.
Great video! Do you know if the oem leather from an 850 can fit on 960 seats? I own a 960 and I'm hoping that the leather is interchangeable because the 850 leather is a lot easier to come by on ebay.
nickx1852 No, those seats are very different.
was looking for information about removing the top/back skin..
I don't understand???
Robert DIY the back of the seat
+Ace Rosswell ruclips.net/video/lGITgKXCBbg/видео.html
I think he is talking about the seat back (as in the part of the front seat that you lean your back against) not the back seat. The video just shows the seat bottom skin removal/replace.
yeah id never have (4) skins made for $500 bucks..i bet I could find some some where in the usa for 2-3 hundred cash for the whole front and backs ..
not worth the taking it apart and reassemble just cash money and a few bolts and im in business again...
im just cheap like that !
AwakeDude911 I'd like to find a pair of seats for my car but it is VERY RARE to find them in salvage yards. I believe there are less than 140 of these '95's left in the USA so, finding some good seats is something that you don't want to hold your breath looking for.
Hi robber d I have a Volvo 1997 it's leaking antifreeze when it's running it won't stop all of it keeps coming out when I fill up the tank all the antifreeze go down do you think I have head gasquet or you think my block is broken please help me I wish you answer my question I don't want to scratch my car
MrPeky69 Why are you asking this on the seat cover video instead of a coolant leak video? Where is the coolant leaking from?
MrPeky69 Overheating car, how to fix it, understanding the coolant system - Brief verion - VOTD - Volvo coolant system fill and top off - Auto Repair Series
Sounds like a bad water pump. When was it last changed?
Great video.. question.. I have that 00 v70r now and it seems as if the driver heated seat doesnt work... my c70 has all leather seat and the v70r has the suede like center.. do the warmers not work as well on this material?
A Swecker The seats have a thermostat in them. If it's not cold enough, maybe less than 54 degrees, they will not turn on. Usually they have a broken heated wire in the pad from people kneeing them when climbing in the car, or the thermostat wire connection comes loose (unplugs) and stops them from working.

Robert DIY - problem is that by the time you have to do it again, you've forgotten all the tricks so you are learning the first time all over again. Love your videos. Thanks.
Do you have a site or location where seat replacement skin can be bought new? My car is a 1998 Infiniti I30
+DAVID SAVAGE no I don't.
Will a 1997 850 seat skin fit a 1999 v70xc seat?
No.
are there factory connections from factory to connect heated Seats?
+Björn Depauperatus huh?
Robert DIY i have no heated Seats.
so i was wondering is there factory wiring in my s70.
love your video's
+Björn Depauperatus probably.
How can you fix a broken seat heater wire in the heater pad? I have one broken and a little burnt. Is it fixable or joust junk?
Solider the wire.
Robert DIY ok, will try! Thanks!
