So much great info, the rounded cut ✂️, the staple gun brand. Thank you, I've done a few quad seats but im just starting some boat seats and need a proper nail gun
I work on seat line for GM for 20 years and yes we slap the covers all the time, what it for is you moving the seat cover without pulling on the cover itself, retired now but wanting to learn boat seats, never have sewed the covers they always came already sewed and we put the covers on
when i took my seats apart the clear plastic pieces that were sewn trough that were riveted to the back part were broken.. how do i go about finding those?
I’m working on some Ranger seats now, need help removing the back seat cover. There is a metal rod that loops around the inside. Not sure how to remove it or the head rests
If there is a ranger tag on the back of the headrest, there should be screws under it. If there is no tag, there are Christmas tree clips that hold it on. Not sure about the metal rod.
I was left with only the plastic mold. No foam no leather. The sun burned everything away , where do I start now? Lol, can I still build my own seats here?
It usually is not necessary. When I do steam it up, I like to let it dry overnight because it gets wet and soft initially. Most boat seats have no foam in the cover from the factory. We put 1/4 foam in every piece, which helps account for any foam degredation, and just makes everything look better.
Awesome look! Would have loved to see you sew the panels together!

Dude, that was a good motivational speech for the "do it yourselfers" at home....but this is no job for novices. Excellent work J
That looks awesome! Just curious, what did this job pay?
Did I miss where he sewed all the pieces together? That would be harder than install I would think.
One of the best jobs I seen so far better than me
Very good job!!! I am definitely just going to buy new seats. That’s a lot of work!!!
What is the best way to cover back insert what did you use to staple vinyl to where velcro goes
The same staple gun I used everywhere else, with 1/4" stainless steel staples.
Good Stuff! ready for more. Show us some of the sewing!
Yeah the sewing is what I came here for

Just find some other piece of similar plastic, cut to size, and drill new holes. Get creative!

When is it necessary to steam the foam to bring life back into it?

How long will new cover last in sun and rain snow sometime
In my experience, it will last up to 10 years. Using a good boat cover will extend that out a long time.
Wow super informative thanks.
Thank you!

Is that 4 way stretch vinyl?
No, it's just a standard marine vinyl.
