    Finally someone who still understands the concept of customer loyalty. Throwing in something additional for no additional charge is going to pay multiple times more that what you would make by tacking on a nominal charge for something like foam repair because people will come back and make multiple referrals because they feel you treated them beyond fairly and that you didn’t get their job and then start nickle-and-diming them simply to line your pockets. This is the kind of shop that would earn my business for life. Places that hit me with the “add-ons” never get another dollar out of me or anyone I know because it’s a “shifty” way to run a business and makes me question your integrity when you initially quoted a price and suddenly start adding to the cost. If you’re a pro you should be able to anticipate any potential extras and either build that into your initial price and warn me that it may come up on the front end. At the end of the day, throwing stuff in for free wins customer loyalty and referrals!

    Part of my secondary duties in the Canadian Air Force, between aircraft inspection's, was safety systems, where as I repaired aircraft covers, seats and used templates to make garment bags etc. I really like how smooth your Juki with the walking foot preformed. I really enjoyed the sewing, as my grandfather was a tailor and I came by it naturally. It's not for everybody trying to match inner and outer patterns, and the day's went by so fast. I dreaded when an aircraft came into maintenance, and I had to go back to my regular job.

      AIR FORCE
      not Air Force
      It is clearly written on the aircraft -
      You just have to learn to pay attention to detail
      AIR FORCE is MILITARY
      Air Force is what comes out of your Hair Dryer
      I served in tn the AIR FORCE for 30 years
      serving3 countries - beginning with the RAF
      (Bomber Command ) from 1961 - then the RAAF
      and two years on exchange with the USAF -
      flying Heavy Transport and commuter Jet.
      Again you failed to notice that the sewing machine brand is
      JUKI and not Juki
      Your eyes se one thing and your brain sees something
      entirely different.
      What you don't realize is that you were PROGRAMMED
      to be ZOMBIE.
      ZOMBIEs have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear.
      Paying attention to detail when one is in the pilots seat.
      So you have to re-program your brain.
      Learn also that all CORPORATE {legal}} names are always
      in the ALL CAPS iteration.
      Only the name of a living Soul is in Mixed Case Letters.
      I studied both Law and Electronics Engineering during my
      MILITARY service - and I cannot teach you Law in 5 minutes
      to explain why ALL CAPS are used and when.
      However you may catch on when you visit the cemetery and

    Superb seat repair. Quite involved and more to it than I thought. Your patterns were simple looking but great as you factored in excess material. Stitching was impressive as well. Foam backing and repair another plus.
    Your tutorial and explanation were perfect. Your talent and experience is amazing. Learning these types of repairs initially takes a lot of practice. I don't think I'd try this repair myself these days. Many considerations to be able to complete and deliver an OEM look back to the seat.
    Kudos for this interesting repair. Was just browsing and decided to watch it. Glad I did and was totally absorbed with this repair.

    Richard, just found your site here and it's great... got a 92 Geo Tracker tow car that needs the exact same repair.
    Small back-story that you and viewers might enjoy:
    I retired as a Fleet Manager for Pepsi Cola and before Pepsi Corporate bought our franchise in Ventura in the 90's.
    We kept our vehicles a long time (now they are replaced every 5 years approx.)
    Anyway, we had some older cabovers that got heavy use delivering soda and the seats needed to be reupholstered frequently.
    Paul at Mac's Upholstery in Ventura did all our work and one morning I was sharing some stories with Paul about my time
    in Vietnam (1970's) and amazingly Paul had served on the USS Forestal (mid 1960's).
    His job ? Repairing the ejection seats on the U2's that were launched off aircraft carriers back then. I was stunned to find out that this wide winged plane was carrier launched, but indeed they were. Apparently the seats took a beating and Paul maintained them so the pilots had a "comfortable" ride during such a grueling mission and tight quarters.
    Thank you for your great DIY videos !

    The "hook tool" is actually a cotter pin puller. I've had one in my tool box for 40+ years, since I was a kid installing auto glass. It's one of the handiest tools I have, great for odd jobs, reaching in tight places, all kinds of things besides pulling cotter pins (I don't know if I've ever used it for that).
    Thanks for the great video,

      Hello Dave, I believe because it has so many uses, commenters have a name for whatever they are using it for. I have used it for cotter pins, not because I thought that's what it was for, just grabbed the tool (Hook tool as I have always know it) out of my tool box, because it was the best tool for the job at the time. Thanks for watching!

    I do upholstery myself! I love watching how there's just so many different ways people can do it. Such as sewing, pattern, fitting, foam repair, installing. Interesting really! There's no right it wrong way. I do what works best and efficient to myself such as the way i was taught. But I've been around other trimmers who just blow my mind with their own talents. It is a dieing talent. My business is suffering due to the shipping and underpriced premade covers. We can't compete with it! A shipping company can make all the seat covers in a car (cheaply made of course/ never 100percent leather they like to claim it is) cheaper than what we can buy the materials for! Its insane

    You made this look easy (which it is not). I pride myself on being a jack of all trades but I tried fixing/making boat cushions one time and found out that this isn't something someone with no experience should attempt to tackle and expect to end up with something that even remotely looks good. It was really interesting to watch your technique. Wish I could do this myself but after my one bad experience it's something I won't try again.

    Awesome watching that come together! In the beginning, my first thoughts of the reference marks were somewhat cloudy. Awesome how they made the piece take shape. Not so much in the automotive world, but in Construction, I have always been very fascinated watching the insulators make removable insulation covers for piping applications. I cheated on my upholstery job. I ended up buying the whole seat panel and have yet to replace it. Thanks for the takedown information as well. That’s what I was looking for just to get an idea of where to start! Love the content! Best of luck to you!

    Fantastic work. Consider working in the airbag deployment zone while the system is energized though. Would be safer (for you) to learn how to disable the airbag system. Also, all modern airbag systems are continually monitored - meaning if you unplug the seat and plug it back it the system will know that. As long as it’s reconnected correctly, no SRS light
