IMPORTANT: There is another 7mm screw right next to the Round Knob. Once you pry the Round Knob off you also need to remove the 7mm screw right next to it. Not sure why it's not shown in this video.. I'm guessing they practiced before filming and forgot to put it back on before they shot this video. I just replaced my front two seat bottoms on my 2005 Expedition Eddie Bauer and there was a 7mm screw on both sides right next to the Round Knob which is only visible once you pry the Round Knob off. I actually broke the tab/hole on the side trim piece on the first seat I did because I wasn't looking for another screw. Hope this helps someone avoid the same mistake. The rest of the video was extremely helpful!
The seat covers were an exact color match, despite my Expedition being 17 years old, and the quality was EXCELLENT. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these seat covers!
I obtained this product because of this video. I followed the instructions exactly as demonstrated. The result is a perfect restoration without any complications. A better replacement could not exist; even the color does not put the other seats to shame, but is an excellent match despite 14 years of use. I am more than satisfied with my purchase.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It really means a lot to us, very glad our videos helped out with the install. If at all possible please send us your before and after pictures of your seats to sales@theseatshop.com so that we can share and others can see. Either way, we thank you again for your comment and feedback!
Great help!
I bought my seat cover from these guys and followed these instructions to the letter. There were only two problems that I worked around.
1. Ford wrapped the original two straps that Velcro together on the back of the seat in a felt. I just cut through it.
2. The original clip that holds the front of the seat cover to the bottom steel frame of the chair is different from the one that came in the replacement cover. I put epoxy in the clip in the new cover and left it to dry overnight. Hopefully this will hold the clip on the frame.
I thought the same thing about #2 so I called them. It turns out that you have to roll that clip 360 degrees to get it lined up with the frame.
The cushion fit perfectly and the install video was a great help. I got a call to confirm I was getting the right cushion, which shows great attention to customer satisfaction. One item I would like to suggest is that the video to install this particular cushion was on TH-cam, but not referenced in the list of videos on the web site. It took me extra time to locate it and I think there is no reason why it should not be locatable via your site directly.
I also missed the 7 mm screw behind the lumbar adjust knob and busted the side cover attach point.. I tried epoxying the little piece back, but it got busted off again when trying to reinstall the cover over the seat back tilt handle. However, not having that screw does not effect the seat.
I purchased the driver side bottom & Durafoam for my ‘05 Expidition. It’s exactly the same as the one on the “how to “ video. I’m glad they posted this video because it made it for an easy decision to purchase the items. The springs cut thru the old foam.
I recommend purchasing the foam if you have an older model. Looking forward to replacing the passenger side next.
Where did you get them from?
A couple of points.
1. To remove the shield that has the power seat controls or manual controls, you need to unclip the front cover clip and there is a T20 torx screw that screws off. Once off, you can pull on the shield and get it off the seat. Instead of monkeying around with the screws you see him unscrewing at 2:45 from the shield, unclip the power connectors. On my Limited there are 2 power disconnects.
2. At the end it shows him clipping all the cushion clips to the seat. DO NOT clip the front one until you have the power/manual controls shield back in place. Otherwise you will not be able to put the T20 screw back in until you unclip the front clip.
Hi MidnTrickCallr, thanks for the comment, definitely some good suggestions, these are older videos which will have some minor techniques that have been modified but yes very good suggestions
Great I have to take the seat out first? Yay.
wish you would cover how to change the seat foam in this vid as well
That's exactly why I clicked on this video. Foam and cover replacement.
@@dragonfirefunctionalfitnes7925 Once you remove the cover itself, you can remove the foam. The foam cushion is held in place thanks to the velcro on the cover, as well as the clips that attach to the seat frame. Remove the cover then you can remove the foam. Let us know if you have any questions.
@@TheSeatShop Nice, thanks! I'll be definitely contacting y'all about the upgraded cushions.
Hey Thanks guys, I did this on my 2003 Explored EB. The only problem I encountered is now the seat belt light stays on, but no sounds ( thankfully ) I did reinstall the small metal washer on the rear right bolt to secure the ground, but lite is on. I'm not going to worry about it. Thanks again, saved me $300 USD
Thanks! It sure is easier when I'm in my shop with nobody else there! I can practice inventing new cuss words on some of these jobs. LOL
gooooooooooodddd…..👌👌👍
Well I just finished the install of the seat foam from them. Well the Velcro is of a different type than oem. Not sure of how long they will adhere. And the width is "fatter" so when I put my side cover on it's bulging and hard to put it on . When installed the 7mm screw , it was pushing so hard again the foam it cracked my cover. Now the lumbar knob is now rubbing HARD against the plastic cover when it never touched before. Oem is always best , But it's not available so I'm stuck!
We are sorry to hear that you are having issues. Feel free to send us photos, order number, and your VIN to our email and we can diagnose what the best next steps are. sales@theseatshop.com
What about replacing the actual bottom cushion too ? Is that possible ? Bought a used 03 and the left side is completely smashed down flat. Thanks
Is there a video for the top replacement?
Hi!! I need a video on replacing drivers backrest leather cover
Very helpful video. Thanks for posting. Well done
Thank you sir. We appreciate it.
Hey guys awesome vid Merry Christmas >real quick will seats in a 2007-2009 sit 2003 -2004 expedition?
There is a 7mm screw behind round knob
Yep , found out the hard way. Plastic clip broke on remova
Is possible to do it with the seat in place?
Hi and thanks for reaching out, we get this question a lot. Some people have done the installation with their seats in but honestly, it just makes the installation longer and very hard to tell if the clips are on there correctly. But to save you time and headaches removing the seats is just 4 bolts and if it's electrical a couple of plugs (maybe 4 minutes of actual time to remove your seat) removing your seats just makes the installation a lot easier.
@@TheSeatShop Is there a video for seat removal?
I recommend removing the seat. It will be a pain installing the clips on the side by the center console. My truck only had ( 4 )T55 Torx head bolts
Nice! Is it necessary to remove the seat from the floor bracket in order to replace the seat cover? If not, what difficulties is there when doing while the seat is in the vehicle?
Thank you.
Hello. We recommend removing the seat from the vehicle.
@TheSeatShop ok, thank you for your reply. Is it fairly easy to remove the seat from the vehicle by myself?
Anyone know where to get these. They are discontinued now?
Do you have a video for a 2006 Ford Explorer?
Is it possible to remove the seat cover without removing the seat from the truck?
I was thinking the same thing...
Why no cloth two tones grey
Why hunter look terrified
I am ready to do this, however, what if the T-55 Torx bolts twist off?? I got under the unit and could not really find the seat bolts going through the body, ( gas tank, and 4x4, and tranny stuff in the way) to try and spray em down, with penetrating oil.
Hey there! Go ahead and give us a call and our R&D team should be able to help guide you what to do. Our number is 214-710-2565 ext.1
I would say that the leather is not all that but after 225,000 miles there is no rips or tears but just wore out. Feels more like pleather than leather
How much for top and bottom? I have exact SUV front seat 💺
Do you have 07 Expedition Eddie Bauer, two tone grey and camel perforated replacement
Hi there, yes we do have what you're looking for. Please click the link below and let us know if you have any questions. - www.theseatshop.com/2007-ford-expedition-eddie-bauer/#?valueIds=8541,8381,8256&groupIds=3,13,7042&seatRowId=6&seatPositionId=9
Does the cushion come off easy?
The leather cover is attached in two areas, one on the top side of the foam cushion and second underneath the seat frame. The foam cushion is sandwiched in-between the cover and the seat frame and is not adhered to anything other than the cover. Let us know if that answered your question.
why don't you have the 06 lincoln navigator cushion with ac vent?
I'd like to see a video on that too.
Where are you guys located?? I need to replace the driver bottom seat cushion and cover!!
Hi Shaun Thanks for reaching out, we are located in Allen TX but since our replacement products are made ready for installation, our customers' location has never been an issue for us to help. What Year/Make/Model do you need help with?
@@TheSeatShop hi, thanks for the reply!! I have a 2003 Ford expedition XLT 4x4! Grey leather interior!
@@shaunspellman2856 so to our knowledge the XLTs were originally made in cloth/fabric material is there any way you can send us a picture of your seats and a picture of your vin# to sales@theseatshop.com
@@TheSeatShop will do!
@@TheSeatShop hey did you guys get the email I sent with the pictures and VIN number??
Thanks , but what about the seat back??? Nothing ?? You sell both but only a video on the bottom . Why the hell wouldn't you just do the whole seat in one video?
I bought the fake leather seat bottom on eBay for around $47-$48......and I TOTALLY REGRET it!! What a POS that cover is.
My advice to anyone looking to swap seats. Find one that fits better and spend the extra bucks.
..so... It's a real nightmare to install
This bottom cover was removed and replaced in less than 15 minutes... if that was a nightmare we would suggest taking your covers to an installer in our network to do it for you - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
thumbs down since your company specifically linked this video to a foam bottom replacement after somebody asked for the video. And this only shows the cover replacement
We're sorry you feel that way! Let us explain, once you remove the cover, you will essentially remove the foam cushion as well. The cover has clips on the side that hook onto the frame, which is what holds the foam cushion in place. Remove the seat cover, you remove the foam cushion. Let us know if you have any questions .
You guys are over priced
Hi Shawn, who are you comparing us to? There are reasons that our products are priced accordingly is due to the high quality of everything. We also incorporate the cost of material & production costs into our products.
