All set!!! My seat is 23 years old and the pan s cracked up. Can't even imagine doing this without the spray glue. It came out great and the seat now fits back on the 4wheela and even clips on now! Likely from not being distorted by the old cover! Thank you so much!
Even after reading this I wasn’t expecting it. I thought you were an old guy seeing a redneck then not expecting rap music. lol but I would imagine this is what the old lady at the upholstery shop owner would be playing lol
I was trying to do mine without the spray glue, and it was dang near impossible. The spray glue really makes it work good. It's like having an extra set of hands to hold it in place.
This is my project for tomorrow. I sew regularly and this is my first upholstery job. I never would have thought about the spray adhesive. Thank you! I also agree that the fast forward part was awesome.
Awesome job. I know everyone should know how to do this kinda stuff, but it is kinda intimidating when you're not sure exactly what to do. Your video helps show step by step. I've got three seats to do... I start tomorrow. Thanks for your video and help!
Great video, also, If you have cracks or holes on the foam part of the seat, use polyurethane caulk to fill the holes or divots, then cover with thick tape, let it dry for overnight, then the seat will be even and smooth again, then use glue and marine vinyl the next day.
Great job! Have done regular chair seats. Thanks for the heads up on heating the vinyl & where to start at. Saving ourselves $$ on our atv seat...have 2 razor seats to redo next.
I've installed factory vinyl covers that have matching seat bends. Great video for making any vinyl match your seat curves for excellent pro fit. you da' man!
Nice job, just what I needed to see for an easy install. 100 degrees in CA, I'll heat soak new black vinyl in hot sun. Nice touch with (timeless) classical music that kept me in video to the end. Life is a gift. Be Blessed
I do leather re-upholstery but have never worked with vinyl. I was trying to re-cover a seat for a friends fourwheeler but the vinyl just wouldn't stretch right and kept getting wrinkles in it. The dryer trick was the answer! Thanks!
Thanks man. I don't think I have ever posted on a video before but I had to on this one. You really did a great job teaching the process. I never would have even thought of trying to do that. After watching your video I was like - heck that doesn't look bad at all. Came out great and saved me $100. Have a good one
Thanks bud . You just save me 240$ I got a couple of 2002 TRX 250. The guys wants to charge me 120$ with my fabric EACH. I'll do it myself. Thanks again.
Don't use spray adhesive! A good trick is to use a garbage bag over the foam so vinyl can slide. Heating the vinyl is a good recommendation as it allows you to stretch tight.
Great video, your choice of music was a delightful surprise, made me smile,... figured it would be some southern country rock but NOPE.. was it Tchaikovsky or Bach??
Outstanding, that really looks great, and great tips, who says a 68 year old man can't learn something from a youngster LOL Thanks!! now to redo my polaris 300 xplorer seat.
Thanks for the vid man. I’m gonna take a crack at this on my Honda atc. Not worth bringing to a shop since the whole machine is about 500 lol. Love the music choice btw too!!
i am redoing a mini bike harley davidson motorcycle using a 49cc motor its was given to me in rough shape i am restoring it and its seat was in need of major surgery it was actually in so bad of shape that you couldnt even call it a seat i put on a cover on it but was nothing like the one you did using the spray would help nice job with it.... this is my first seat to redo so hopefully it will come out the way you have it done great job
thanks for the video my good man, my foreman seat developed a tare in it but it was underneath the overlapping of the cushion from my back seat, so i never noticed, till one day i was washing my atv and noticed the seat split open the whole way across the back, i think ill attempt this over the winter thanks for the courage ps. wish i seen this video sooner my friend just paid someone 80 bucks to do this
Thank you! Great video!! Explained very well,I watched a few vid's, your the only one to put it in dryer.This is my first time,hopefully it works.It showed on another video to use tape to cover any holes.
Well it worked,just couldn't get corners round,so I folded them like a xmas present,the hell with it,better than having a hole in it and getting wet ass..lol Thank you
I tried it and had difficulty on the back around the corners. So it looks pretty welfare but good enough. Also my staples were only 3/8 which was definitely too small so I will have to get bigger ones to finish.
that spray has directions on it. you spray both items and let them get tacky before putting together. Also never use glue on a job like that. good thing it was not made like that or you could have not reused the foam. Now if you tear the seat you will ruin the foam to replace next time. But it looks good and I hope you don't need to do it again.
Hey genius...what's the point of putting it in the dryer if it takes a 1/2 hour to put on and cools down in 30 seconds. Tip for those that read this. Heat gun. Heat up as you go in the areas your working on. Came out awesome...
I had no clue when I first started. You wanna fix it, but you don't want to mess it up more than it already is. It is a bit intimidating. I am glad that my video helped. Thanks for watching!
I covered my seat on my dual-sport using your method. Holy cow it worked so well! No more wet butt! My only problem was the stapler. The staples didn't want to go in. How did you get your staples in so easy? Thanks for posting. Am going to link to this.
You should not be gluing your cover to the seat foam. Next time you want to recover you'll destroy your seat foam by tearing foam from the seat when you remove the old cover. Here's the big clue: Was your original cover glued down? No, it wasn't. If it was the cover has been replaced.
Did or would you please do a video of putting the latch attachment back on the bottom of the seat....I can't remember how it goes LMAO....Thanks Ill post my fiished seat in the comments teach
Well 4 hours in (no joke). And if i would of duct taped it. It would look better. 3 pieces of fabric later. Still looks like hell. I sure as f#$! Cant do it.
The whole dryer trick is the key..it made a major difference in the entire thing..thank you so much for sharing...😊
The dryer & the spray adhesive - great tips! I think I can do this, thanks man!
All set!!! My seat is 23 years old and the pan s cracked up. Can't even imagine doing this without the spray glue. It came out great and the seat now fits back on the 4wheela and even clips on now! Likely from not being distorted by the old cover! Thank you so much!
Thank you! That was a well done video. Not too long, but exactly what I wanted and needed to know so I could reupholster my seat. Thank you!
Was not expecting that choice of music
but it fits. lol
same haha
But it was a nice touch!
Even after reading this I wasn’t expecting it. I thought you were an old guy seeing a redneck then not expecting rap music. lol but I would imagine this is what the old lady at the upholstery shop owner would be playing lol
Nice and soothing. Just wondering @connermcgee6398 what were you expecting?
Great job bro, appreicate the hacks about the dryer and the adhesive.
awesome little trick with the dryer
I was trying to do mine without the spray glue, and it was dang near impossible. The spray glue really makes it work good. It's like having an extra set of hands to hold it in place.
Good video...
Great Music!

Thank you I'm fixing up my nephew 4 wheeler for his birthday 🥰
Smack dab in the midst of doing mine... Got it peeled but now it looks like I gotta get spray glue and hit the dryer! Awesome video!!!
Thank you for the Pro tips and making this look so easy. Where do I get the vinyl?
Thank you for this, I figured it would be this type of process, it having it confirmed is reassuring. Loved the music.
I've installed factory vinyl covers that have matching seat bends. Great video for making any vinyl match your seat curves for excellent pro fit. you da' man!
That's one bad ass dryer. Thanks for the tips.
Lol was thinking the same

Glad it all worked out. Yeah the dryer combined with the spray glue really does the trick.
Thankyou for the video! The music was a nice touch too!
Super presentation. You didn't waste time with a bunch of yakking. Thanks.
Did my 2012 Honda for a rip in the back. Actually added some extra foam beforehand. Thanks for the clip!
Thank you so much. My atv now has an awesome seat cover!!!!
Short and sweet, very nice!

No problem. Glad I could help out.
120$ with you having the fabric?!?! Did you tell him that he was stupid??
Don't use spray adhesive! A good trick is to use a garbage bag over the foam so vinyl can slide. Heating the vinyl is a good recommendation as it allows you to stretch tight.

Thanks!! now to redo my polaris 300 xplorer seat.
Pretty good..can see some slight wrinkle...but overall a damn good idea....
Z Quad its probably just the foam, the foam on my seat is pretty beat and it did the same thing to me
I need to do a Kaw. 610 mule bench seat. Thanks for the info.
caleb our videos have been some real help dude and nice wash/dry dude
I just did the seat on my foreman! Your a genius!!
Genius lol! I dont think so. But glad you got your seat done.
Seat work great. Music awesome.
Me personally I don’t use the adhesive bc when you don’t use it it lets you get it way tighter and it also is way easier to work with
Best video ever!!!! Really helped us! Went just like he said!!!! Thank you
Sprinkle the sponge with 3M adhesive.
The seat carver is heated with a hot air fan.
I saw it well.
Thanks for the vid man. I’m gonna take a crack at this on my Honda atc. Not worth bringing to a shop since the whole machine is about 500 lol. Love the music choice btw too!!
i am redoing a mini bike harley davidson motorcycle using a 49cc motor its was given to me in rough shape i am restoring it and its seat was in need of major surgery it was actually in so bad of shape that you couldnt even call it a seat i put on a cover on it but was nothing like the one you did using the spray would help nice job with it.... this is my first seat to redo so hopefully it will come out the way you have it done great job
You chose the wright music a celloconcert I think from Locatelli and did a great job o the seat!!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Wasn't expecting to hear some Yo Yo Ma in this. Well done!
Good job man. You gave me the courage to try to do my seat ;)
It may be best to spray both seat and vinyl. Doing so will use less contact spray.
Hmm...food for thought. Makes sense, I think anyway. Going to try his way or your idea, and see how it works out.
Great Video Kaleb! I'm going to try this on my quad and my snowmobile. How is your seat holding up?
Great job man, thanks for the lesson.
thanks for the video my good man, my foreman seat developed a tare in it but it was underneath the overlapping of the cushion from my back seat, so i never noticed, till one day i was washing my atv and noticed the seat split open the whole way across the back, i think ill attempt this over the winter thanks for the courage
ps. wish i seen this video sooner my friend just paid someone 80 bucks to do this
thanks for watchin man. I got the courage to do this after my buddy paid like $100.00 to get his done.
Great tips. Gonna give it a shot. Thanx
Thank you! Great video!! Explained very well,I watched a few vid's, your the only one to put it in dryer.This is my first time,hopefully it works.It showed on another video to use tape to cover any holes.

The fast forward part was so funny. Nice job!
Greta info, Excellent job on the video too. :) ...like the music.
great video.. I just wanted to know if that glue was still holding. your seat looks professional. I'm inspired to try and fix mine. thank you...
Yep. I actually saw him at a pawn shop a few days ago. He said the old bayou 220 is still kickin and the seat is the nicest thing on the atv. lol
i realize im a decade late but, any advise if the foam is badly pitted itself? any way to fill in low spots in foam prior to upholstery?
Good job man..excellent!! Great music too!!!
I tried it and had difficulty on the back around the corners. So it looks pretty welfare but good enough. Also my staples were only 3/8 which was definitely too small so I will have to get bigger ones to finish.
Thanks Bandit for the tips.
That turned out great!
Quality work sir

Hey genius...what's the point of putting it in the dryer if it takes a 1/2 hour to put on and cools down in 30 seconds. Tip for those that read this. Heat gun. Heat up as you go in the areas your working on. Came out awesome...

Can I use canvas instead of vinal?
Good job!
Did or would you please do a video of putting the latch attachment back on the bottom of the seat....I can't remember how it goes LMAO....Thanks
Ill post my fiished seat in the comments teach
nicely done !!
If you ever have to change the seat cover again with it come off with that glue ????
Where did you buy the vinyl?
There used to be a craft/fabric store here. It's gone now but I'm sure hobby lobby or joann's fabric would have some.
Good job bro
thanks. thought that would make a few people chuckle.
Holy crap. How many staples were harmed in the making of this video?
Good video
That was sweet thank you for the tips I need my bayou redone my seat that was awesome
Good job ❤
nice work man
Thanks for watching & commenting. Hopw your seat redo goes well.
Well 4 hours in (no joke). And if i would of duct taped it. It would look better. 3 pieces of fabric later. Still looks like hell.
I sure as f#$! Cant do it.
good job
Thank you!
Very nice! Your video was great! Where did you buy the vinyl?
A local shop called hancock fabrics.
