I never messed with those metal hog rings at all, and just stretched my new one over the foam and it looks really good. I had thought about using vinyl top spray can glue on the foam and then putting the new cover over that but I see now even that wasnt necessary
@@choppedinc. Whatever method you choose good luck with it. I just cut the old leather seat bottom off and stretched the new one on and connected the plastic clamps that attach under the seat and on the sides. Ive driven the truck twice and the new cover has settled to conform with the foam underneath. Not all manufacturers use those hog rings because back in 1989 on my 70 cadillac split bench seats when I tore out the old seat bottoms the replacement leather sat right on the foam, BUT it did have wire circle clamps like hog rings that attached the underneath to the metal seat frame, but no hog rings under the top of the seat at all, but I could see where some glue similiar to vinyl top spray glue or brush on glue clung on the old leather under side. I think people should just start using the foamy vinyl top spray and spray on the top of the foam and make sure its a slow drying type
@@choppedinc. I ended up getting some power seats from a 2005 in very good shape and am going to replace the drivers only. do you happen to have the link for these? I know it's been a while since you did this video. Thanks!

Ok thats interesting. I just got my first hog ring set online, was very cheap. Have not tried it like that before

Great video my brother. Thanks for it. About to get some for my f250 and was looking for this vid.
No problem, it's really a pretty straightforward job and transforms the interior
You are awesome!!! Thank you so very much for these great instructions!! ❤
Absolutely it's not a bad job to do yourself
Gracias! It wavery helpful
what seller did you get them from please? I have the Regency package, do you think the foam is the same as non Regency package?
I would think there the same but I am not sure. I would buy one side base and see. If it's not right send it back if it is buy the other side
