I didn't understand the clips that u were pushing in to the foam . What was the purpose of those clips. Did the replacement seat cover attach to those clips? I did not see how you connection if that was the case. BTW that particular video had bad sound. A lot of background noise. Sorry to say that. I love ur work.
@@mpal8264 Hello Mpal, I saw at 5:00 there is mention of hog rings and hog ring pliers. This was one of my early videos. I learned the sound of fans in the background comes through. I do remember it was a very hot day at that time. Please keep liking and watching!
Nothing i enjoy more then fixing something old and making it brand new!
Hello Malan, That is your superpower! Please keep watching!
Thanks for the detailed video and explanation. I feel that I now have the knowledge and confidence to change out my 2005 Honda Accord front seat covers. Appreciate you sharing your experience with us! 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm sure you will do just fine repairing your Honda! Thanks for watching!
I just liked and subscribed, it’s not everyday you find someone that cares about their work, like you do. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Hi! Thank you for the sub, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for all of your kind words! Please keep watching!
Great video, don't be afraid of removing the seat. I done many of those seats, I never had any trouble when unplugging the cables. Only cars the airbag light will come off are European type, those I let the customer know before doing the job. I'm still in the learning process. Hope to see your next video.
Hi, This is just an added service I do for my customers, It's a lot more work, but my customers appreciate what I do to make their life easier.
Excellent good job 🙏🙏
It's been helpful as I now know I don't want to do this myself! Thanks
Hello Fred, You are so welcome! Well, if you chose not to do it yourself, you can find some one who is happy to do it for you. Please keep liking and watching!
Great video! Since a lot of sportscars require removing the whole seat assembly due to hog rings in hard to reach areas, I normally have to disconnect the negative terminal on battery and then disconnect the air bag wires under the seat. This is the only way I can remove the whole seat assembly. Sportscars can be challenging...
Hello Eric, I see. I never unplug the yellow air bag wire. I do all of the work inside the care as an added service to my customer. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudolph, you have amazing talent and skill my friend! I've watched a couple of your videos so far and you're nothing short of just AWESOME brother!!! I have a 2000 F-350 with the bucket seats and it seems like in the last year and half they've started tearing at the seams and the leather is just flaking off but mostly it's my fault, I didn't take good care of them like I should have. I've been thinking of purchasing both seat and upright covers from The Seat Shop in Texas but they are very pricey. I would much rather pay you you to do it😄. I've been looking here in NC for an auto upholstery service and I'm going to check them out soon, I know I'll probably get "sticker shock" when they tell me how much both seats will cost, I'm sure. Anywho, I'll be watching your videos my friend and you take care and God Bless. Jay 👍👍
Hello Silver, The Seat shop makes nice covers. Thank you so much for all the kind words! Please keep watching!
Thank you, thank you for the informative video. The seat bottoms on my 2002 volvo v70 are trashed. We all know how volvo loves to charge to reprogram things. Thanks again. Cheers

Not only the dreaded prefab cover kit, but the air-bag to boot.. Ooof! Nicely done though...

Hi,you can unplug yellow air bag wires.BUT LET THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF DURING THE OPERATIONS"
Hi! You can if you want. But I never unplug the yellow airbag wire. There is no need to. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!
Love the vid especially you step by step experience. I want to repholster all the seats in my Acura TSX 2006. Where do you order the new seat cover for your clients?
Hello Jason, I love hearing good news like this. I have been an upholsterer for 44 years and have never bought a kit. I was making seat covers before there ever was anything known as an aftermarket seat kit. My customers sometimes provide the seat kit for me to install for them. Just Google, "Replacement seat cover for (Year make and model)". Please keep liking and watching!
excellent thank you so much
Hello Jason, Thank you so much for saying so! I really appreciate it. Please keep liking and watching!
Wow, the color match of those aftermarket seat covers looked great and the install was super clean.
Odd question- with the customer going through the bother of getting seat bottoms, did they at least have you restore the worn upper seat back so that everything looked new again, or did they just leave it like that?
Hello Richard, It is rare to have to change seat foam. Some repairs to the foam can be made if need be. Of course if the customer would want all new foam, they would get it. Please keep liking and watching!
I used zip ties rather than those awful metal clips. Also used some Gorilla tape to hold a couple of pieces of strap under the seat.
Hello Mary, yep, whatever works. Please keep liking and watching!
I wanted to see how you take off the back side of the front seat specially taking it off at the top where the headrest guide are located and you did not co er that part. That’s the difficult part that you bypassed all together. You generally great about all kinds of repairs but unfortunately fell very short in this one. Thank you for all the good ones, though.
Hello Offbeat, Thanks for the compliment? For the good ones anyway... You know this was a basic explanation that can apply to most if not all aftermarket seat covers. I try to make it general and not for any specific car unless it is for a specific car in a title. Sometime in general how to videos, I will say how I don't show how something comes apart because it wouldn't be fair to the viewer if it is not their car. It is better to search for a video that is car specific. Please keep liking and watching!
Would have been nice if he included the actual install replacement of how the bottom seat was cushin was re- attached and if any additional clips were required, or any issues reinstalling the actual re- covered seat cushin.
Hello User, All cars are different. Really there are four methods of reattaching the listings. 1 most common among older vehicles is hog rings. 2 is velcro. 3 is plastic clips in modern vehicles. 4 is tying twine on after market cushions that are missing listing wires.

Why cant you just unplug the battery. Then you can unplug the airbag? Or not?
Hello Mrmja, You can if you want, but I never unplug the yellow wire. One other reason is, I work on customers cars. If I disconnect the battery, then the radio settings would go away. Please keep liking and watching!
A good rule to follow is leave airbags alone. They don't need electricity or power to go off and they're very expensive to replace. Just not worth messing with
Awesome tutorial. Wish you were in CA, I’d certainly be your customer. Do you sew seat covers for Acura TSX?
Hello Jng, After 43 years, I am pretty sure I could duplicate any original seat cover. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery . After watching your videos, i dont doubt you can sew up a seat cover with a sample on hand. But im in CA. I like to know if you have a template for a 2012 Acura TSX Wagon that you can sew up and sell to me?

I haven't removed the seat yet. Do you think they will be plastic hooks or hog rings? Thank you for a great video.

What would make the seats wear out like that. The reason I ask I am thinking about getting my cloth seats redone ion leather. I never had a cloth seat wear that bad in 50 years of driving.

Hello Vfat, Oh, that would be the hog ring pliers for the hog rings. Please keep liking and watching!
How much does something like this cost?
Prices vary wildly as each shop sets its own prices. Prices are usually guided by a local economy, embattled competition, or no competition.
So using the seat covers is still the same thing as doing a manual reup hostelry its just the leather is already premade no need to sow ?
Basically trying to see why is their a big price difference between the covers and the full upholstery

When do you know if you need to use 1/4 medium foam on top of the existing foam? I always thought for any new cover, that would be the suggested practice?
Hello Phamine, usually, there will be 1/4" scrim or even 1/2" scrim sewn into aftermarket and most made seat covers. Adding more foam than that is totally up to you. Some people like soft, some like firm. You can even add a layer of Dacron over the top if you like. There are no standards, just freedom. Please keep liking and watching!

I installed oem like seat covers in my 86 Monte Carlo SS the rear seat I noticed the piping in middle of the bottom cushion the piping is wavy it was like that before I put the seat cover on so my question is how can I get it straight is there a trick too it the seat covers came from Acme out of California the distributor told me to sit on it and it should work it's self out but I believe he is b/s me so can you please tell me the secret to get it straight hopefully it doesn't involve taking the seat cover off because I installed It in the car I don't want to have to pull all that stuff off again thanks for your help

Hello Dom, Huh, what? Please keep liking and watching!
So this is what’s going on. I was moving a box that was thin but kinda long and when I put it in the trunk I had to put one side of it on on the headrest and one of the plastic that holds the headrest metal bars broke.
I spoke to a tech and he said the back panel needs to come off and then replace the piece which is $9. However Lexus will charge me something like $300 to that.
I want to know if anyone has removed that plastic panel which is in the back of the rear seat(2nd row).
Thanks
Hello Kam, That is a very specific question. I have not had to take one apart myself, but if I did have to, I would just start pulling on things and it becomes apparent how it will be disassembled. Just start pulling. Sometimes there will just be some kind of clips holding it together. If you don't want to pay the $300. You will investigate it coming apart. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery the rep from lexuspartoutlet told me it’s attached by clips. I’m afraid pulling from the wrong side, doing so might break the clip. I guess I’ll investigate more
@@kamrouzsaifi3845 Hello Kam, Breaking a clip is always the risk. But that's the only way you will get it apart is by trying. I think you can do it. Please keep liking and watching!
