    After watching your struggle with changing that seat cover, my patients would be factored in as I advance to the yellow pages seeking an Upholster... You did a great job wrestling with that thing... Even my fingers were hurting, watching you, and I almost bit my tongue !!!

    Your comment about it being harder on a cold day is right on. I have found that leaving the seat cover or whatever out in the sun before installation works miracles.

    A lot of those lower seat cushions, you can take a salvage yard lower passenger seat and put them in the drivers side. They are interchangeable on quite a few vehicles. Passenger side is usually always mint.

    Probably would have been a bit easier turning the seat on it's back. Let gravity help.

    Did my Excursion with leather seats. Was pretty easy and I'd never done one before. Had hog rings too.

    After a few colorful metaphors I would finally get it. I did do something similar, but I can't remember what it was, it was a seat cover on something. I'll have a brain fart later and remember. Thanks for the video.

    I agree with Poot Thatbak -- I'd have worn gloves. I'm collecting too many scars these days.

    Great job. 😉👍🏼

    Now if this was just an F150, because I may need to do this soon, but the back rest. It's probably pretty similar. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.

    A hair dryer is your friend to add just a little warmth to that vinyl - don't use a heat gun!

    • @craigstubbs1991

      When I did my leather/vinyl conversion I used my steamer.

    • @mattcat231
      @mattcat231 Год назад +1

      Or toss the new cover in the dryer for about 15 minutes before installing, did probably 60 of these Chevy seats like that

    • @jackcarroll8709
      @jackcarroll8709 Год назад

      That's an even better idea if done at hom, but not sure that shop has a clothes dryer handy.

    • @jackcarroll8709
      @jackcarroll8709 Год назад

      Yeah I wish I had a steamer. That's really what you need to a large seat or whole cabin or even deep cleaning, but I don't do enough of that type of work/repair to justify the steamer's cost.

    When you started to try and get those plasitc nubs back in the slots,, I started to think to myself this is when we learn Kenny's blood type. Good job

    Being a big guy who works out of a Ford Explorer Sport 2-door, I have done this several times. In and out of the car several hundred times a day makes the left side of the driver's seat take a beating. I hit the Pick-A-Part Junkyard when I see one and find a matching Passenger seat to harvest the foam and cover. They are interchangeable on my year model and the Passenger Seat always has less wear and tear. I have even added a piece of 3/4" thick piece of rubber matting above the frame to keep the foam from squeezing through the gap.

    I took my seats out of my Silverado to put in Kilmat and I was fighting with both of them to get em back in and it was 100 degrees outside. Had flashbacks watching this. Lol

      Well that sounds like a terrible job to do in the heat. I bet you're happy that you did it though. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching

  • @craigstubbs1991
    @craigstubbs1991 Год назад +2

    On my 2009 Furd Xploder I replace the cloth with leather/vinyl on all 3 rows. At the point that you were fighting attaching the rear I found that I needed to reach in between the cover and foam to separate where the velco started to attach and stopped me from pulling the material back.

    • @craigstubbs1991
      @craigstubbs1991 Год назад

      While I was at it, I replaced the baseball bat that Ford calls a "shifter" with one from a Flex. More comfortable and doesn't block my view of the center dash.

  • @TheCraneman66

    Recline the back to open the gap a little ?

  • @timscanlan1466
    @timscanlan1466 Год назад +3

    I replaced three or four of those on Silverados and found that if I laid it out in the sun for an hour or so it makes it so much more pliable.

    Hi Kenny,
    Where did you get the seat covers, I didn't see it in the description or in the transcript ....thanks if you see this!

  • @paulputnam2305
    @paulputnam2305 Год назад

    Thank You Kenny. My 2000 Yukon has the same ripped area and the foam is all ripped up. Now, thanks to you, I’ll fix it the right way. (Was gonna buy a seat cover)
    Much Love and Hugs

  • @chuntzinger677

  • @dondownriver3464
    @dondownriver3464 Год назад

    I hate buying a used car with that seat ripped usually a pass for me, but i did something different with my ranger, i got a seat of the same material and color passenger side seat and just swap the driver side rail, and now a nice seat with a good cushion almost like brand new and 20 bucks from the scrap yard.

  • @jasonallemani3350
    @jasonallemani3350 Месяц назад

    Why didn't you secure the cover to the cushion with hog rings? needs that for stability so it doesn't cause unnecessary friction of the cushion and seat cover material. very crucial step.
