    Richard, just found your site here and it's great... got a 92 Geo Tracker tow car that needs the exact same repair.
    Small back-story that you and viewers might enjoy:
    I retired as a Fleet Manager for Pepsi Cola and before Pepsi Corporate bought our franchise in Ventura in the 90's.
    We kept our vehicles a long time (now they are replaced every 5 years approx.)
    Anyway, we had some older cabovers that got heavy use delivering soda and the seats needed to be reupholstered frequently.
    Paul at Mac's Upholstery in Ventura did all our work and one morning I was sharing some stories with Paul about my time
    in Vietnam (1970's) and amazingly Paul had served on the USS Forestal (mid 1960's).
    His job ? Repairing the ejection seats on the U2's that were launched off aircraft carriers back then. I was stunned to find out that this wide winged plane was carrier launched, but indeed they were. Apparently the seats took a beating and Paul maintained them so the pilots had a "comfortable" ride during such a grueling mission and tight quarters.
    Thank you for your great DIY videos !

    Part of my secondary duties in the Canadian Air Force, between aircraft inspection's, was safety systems, where as I repaired aircraft covers, seats and used templates to make garment bags etc. I really like how smooth your Juki with the walking foot preformed. I really enjoyed the sewing, as my grandfather was a tailor and I came by it naturally. It's not for everybody trying to match inner and outer patterns, and the day's went by so fast. I dreaded when an aircraft came into maintenance, and I had to go back to my regular job.

      AIR FORCE
      not Air Force
      It is clearly written on the aircraft -
      You just have to learn to pay attention to detail
      AIR FORCE is MILITARY
      Air Force is what comes out of your Hair Dryer
      I served in tn the AIR FORCE for 30 years
      serving3 countries - beginning with the RAF
      (Bomber Command ) from 1961 - then the RAAF
      and two years on exchange with the USAF -
      flying Heavy Transport and commuter Jet.
      Again you failed to notice that the sewing machine brand is
      JUKI and not Juki
      Your eyes se one thing and your brain sees something
      entirely different.
      What you don't realize is that you were PROGRAMMED
      to be ZOMBIE.
      ZOMBIEs have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear.
      Paying attention to detail when one is in the pilots seat.
      So you have to re-program your brain.
      Learn also that all CORPORATE {legal}} names are always
      in the ALL CAPS iteration.
      Only the name of a living Soul is in Mixed Case Letters.
      I studied both Law and Electronics Engineering during my
      MILITARY service - and I cannot teach you Law in 5 minutes
      to explain why ALL CAPS are used and when.
      However you may catch on when you visit the cemetery and
      see How the NAME of the CORPSES is written on the stone.
      You will find every'body' is buried in the cemetery (Dead Centre)

    Looking at the seats in my van, knowing they need some attention. Walk in the house, open the computer and BOOM... there you are. Like Roger said below "I could probably do that." Then I also realized watching a master can make any craft look easy. I will be going to a qualified upholstery shop. Keep the local businesses alive and thriving. Fascinating to watch how the different stitches are done.

    As an ASE Master Tech since 1978, SIR yellow connectors are SAE certified with a shorting bar in the plastic connector that is spring loaded to "Short" across the two inflator module metal terminals. Electrical current can NOT jump into the air bag and deploy it. If you think you really have to turn the key on, engine off, remove the negative terminal. From 1998 and newer (GM) the radio has electronic memory that is erased only with a scan tool. Volume, country, station and saved pre-sets are stored inside it.
    The SIR control module has capacitors that loose energy if battery is unhooked and cannot deploy inflator module after 5-8 minutes. Written material will tell you 30 minutes but they play it safe.
    The hook tool is sold in two lengths as a hose removal tool. Slid between a hose and inlet on a radiator, wiggle it left and right w/WD-40 and twist. The hose will free and slide off.
    If the air bag was on a bench, you have to work on the connector with an insulator installed under the shorting bar and takes some effort. This is a myth.
    Great video on a common problem, like why do the drivers door hinge pin bushings wear out first? Thanks!

    Excellent video, clearly and patiently explained. To those with a cherished car: Before it's too late, get out of the habit of getting into your car with a set of keys hanging out your back pocket, or anything else with hard edges that might over time tear your upholstery up.

    Wow!!! just wow!!! You sir are an absolute expert in your field of work. I know this because you make it look easy. Which for the record, it most assuredly is not. We need more people like you teaching this stuff.

    I couldn’t help recognizing how you referred to your customer as “my customer” & “happy customer” instead of THE customer. You, my friend, show enormous respect for people like me looking for craftsmen faithful to us and our needs. Thank you for that!

    This video helps make one realize the few hundred it likely costs to do these repairs is worth it- looks easy, is not! Making it look "easy", you help people realize that's with 30+ years experience! Well done

    Superb seat repair. Quite involved and more to it than I thought. Your patterns were simple looking but great as you factored in excess material. Stitching was impressive as well. Foam backing and repair another plus.
    Your tutorial and explanation were perfect. Your talent and experience is amazing. Learning these types of repairs initially takes a lot of practice. I don't think I'd try this repair myself these days. Many considerations to be able to complete and deliver an OEM look back to the seat.
    Kudos for this interesting repair. Was just browsing and decided to watch it. Glad I did and was totally absorbed with this repair.
    I'll be back!!!!

    So amazing to watch a master craftsman illustrating step by step tutorials like this. We need more people to apprentice themselves with skilled mentors like Richard especially now with our supply chain problems.
    There is nothing like being your own boss in a business that you enjoy and really without much competition.
    I hope there are many young people that watch this video and realize there are great opportunities if you become a skilled professional in many trades, especially in the automotive industry.

    I was a Tool-Maker for 23 years and see skill in this video that makes me "SMILE".
    Thanks for a walk down "memory lane" as I remember the old Journeymen handing me all their skill, knowledge and tricks, so I can keep the trade alive.
    Your welcome at my bench anytime!!

    No one can do this at home, so we must find a guy who does this work. I have three upholstery shops in my town and none will make a small repair like this--they make it a major operation costing many hundreds, or they just refuse the job.
