01-06 Acura MDX Driver Bottom Install Video from The Seat Shop. Need factory seat covers delivered to your door? Questions? Call us at 214-710-2565 or find us online at www.theseatshop.com
Awesome video! I have to replace my 2001 Acura TL seat, and this was a great tutorial. Good tips on the hog ring pliers and steaming the foam. Thanks guys!
I would recommend taking a moderately wet rag and wiping each panel down with just water and then drying it before hitting it with the conditioner. Don't want that detergent building up or damaging the leather.
Great video. I have a 2004 Acura MDX. The driver's seat has a bracket which is broken causing the upper and lower portions to separate. Effectively a rocking chair. Do you have seats available? Same color as in your video. Like "peanut butter". Would consider other colors too.
Great video, guys! I want to know how do you replace the whole foam piece to a new one? And, do you carry it for a 2006 Acura MDX, Driver & Passenger seats?
Yes I think a woman could do it. It takes some elbow grease and a second set of hands, but it's doable. I don't know how much your seat weighs. Have a nice day!
It is honesty not a hard process but to make the video go by faster a second pair of hands is helpful. It is rare to need two people to complete an install. But we do understand the concern, if you wanted a pro to do the install for you please try our installer network, here is a link to find the nearest installer near you. - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/

Hi and thanks for reaching out, what changed was the color options and unfortunately, we have not been able to finish the R&D on the newer year ranges to be able to release them at this time. Upholstery hog rings can be ordered online or you can call your local hardware store to see if they carry what you need. Here is a link to our hog rings if you needed them - www.theseatshop.com/hog-ring-bag/
Hey Rock J, we don't have much experience with the Accord as of yet but to replace the foam in any seat the easiest way to replace or work on it in any way is to removing it.
Hey Rock J, since we don't really have much R&D finished on the Accord we would not know what those sensors are and would not know how to guide you on this... I would try talking to a dealer to see if they can try and help you out
That said it’s a useful video. I just replace one with some Fuking mediocre covers. They where visually the same from looking from the top but under the seat it’s a Pice Of Shit! I’m fucking perfectionist!!!
@@Shawnbfromsd Here's the link to our Hog Ring Pliers as well as the hog ring bags we sell.

I fucking hate mediocre job. WTF you had to cut the heating wires? You are so lazy to put them back?? That’s why I do everything (if possible) ALONE!!!

This is a very interesting and cool idea!
Very nice video
Do I have to take the ENTIRE seat out to repair the bottom ?
Great video.

You'd want to purchase a prefabricated foam if possible. We, unfortunately, do not make them for the Acura.
Can a woman do this? Or does it take too much strength? The only really heavy part might be lifting the seat out. How much does it weigh? Thanks

Sweet
Not sure I want to try this since it's giving two people in the seat business, a hard time.

Anyone snap the worm drive for the seat motor before seeing this video? Anyone know how to repair it or a video that shows the repair?
I know the TL Acura is about the same
Didn't think it would be that hard looks like you need a mechanic more than an upholsterer
What size hog rings are you using for this MDX?

Do you have replacement bottom and top black cover seat for 2008 MDX
Hi John! Not yet, but hopefully we will have something for you in the future.
You guys have front leathers for 2005 acura rl
Where do I get a prefabricated foam seat?
Perhaps TMI products.
How similar is 2007 mdx to this 2006 mdx seat? They look very similar. Also where can one get the hog rings? Thx

I have a 2009 Honda Accord and I'm trying to change the inside cushion of the upper side do I have to remove the whole seat
Hey Rock J, we don't have much experience with the Accord as of yet but to replace the foam in any seat the easiest way to replace or work on it in any way is to removing it.
I took off the old pating and there's like these little sensors attached to it can I rip those off or put those on the new one
Hey Rock J, since we don't really have much R&D finished on the Accord we would not know what those sensors are and would not know how to guide you on this... I would try talking to a dealer to see if they can try and help you out

What specific year did that seat come out of? Trying to figure out if my 04 is velcro or hog ring
Your 04 uses hog rings and typically the Acura's use a lot of them too.
@@TheSeatShop Do you have a link to those specific pliers? Also, what size hog rings?
