When I was a kid growing up in rural Montana my Dad had an old '74 GMC pickup. The bench seat was shot. We had no money so he drove way out into the deep woods where there lived an old hermit who made money by selling all sorts of stuff that he had locked away in a bunch of old shipping containers. Dad bought a roll of super thick, heavy duty carpet. It was the type of carpet you would see in a gym or the entrance way of a public building. He reupholstered the seat with it. It looked great but the old man who sold him the carpet had let his goats shelter in the container with the carpet so his truck always had a slight goat smell after that. At first it was unpleasant. But I got used to it and now I'd love to be able to take another drive in that old goaty '74 pickup.

I know it aint rocket science but you make it look sooooo easy! Your a true artist!

I worked for 13 yrs at an automotive plant manufacturing seats and we always fix tears in cushion and back foam with spray adhesive and never let it dry . Put it together wet for a better bond. Your method is correct

Best seat repair I have seen on RU-vid.

Thanks for doing this video. What is so simple for you is NOT so for newbies. Here is what I learned in this 10 minute video (1) What density foam to use (2) Do not allow adhesive to tack up (and why), go ahead and assemble right away. (3) Use sew foam to cover over the repair area. If I had not watched this video, I would have guessed at the density, allowed the glue to tack up and would not have used the sew foam to cover the repair.

A true craftsman, great job!

Like all true craftsmen ..they make it look so easy. Thanks for your video 🙂👍

Outstanding! You R the "Upholstery Whisperer". I haven't seen a seat that sweet since my last 3rd date.... You RoCk.

I paid $ 1:33 170.00 for same job in ND. I was to afraid to cut my own seat up and not be able to sew it back up correctly. Thank you for your time and work.

nice to see foam repair done without a bunch of filing, sanding and cheese grating etc................ good, quick and end result looks just as good to me!!!!!!!!!1

Love your work mate. Always looks so easy watching a master do his work. G'day from Australia!

Nothing better than good quality craftsmanship 👍👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

I just did something similar to my BMW sport seats. The driver side outer bolster cushion was badly damaged from years of being rubbed on, I went to a craft store and purchased a nice piece of firm foam to replace it. Figuring out how to cut it was a bit of a challenge, but ultimately I shaped it with a small pneumatic sanding tool I have. It’s a small 2 inch disc that rotates at a very high speed. It shaved down the foam very nice, and allowed me to get the proffer shape and profile that was necessary before installing the new seat cover pieces. Seven sections to that seat, what a pain in the butt. I bought it from a company named L seat, I would have loved to use a local upholstery shop, but there isn’t really anything like that here where I live, such a shame, I love giving local businesses my money over big companies when I can.

I'm just getting started. Your tips are very helpful. I'll check your videos for more info. Thanks!

Hello Rudy !! I loved the video! I’ve been doing this the same way you have shown. But, I do use a electric knife.😬. Trying to match that kind of fabric is hard. I noticed you use vinyl. That’s cool. Yesterday I did two boat cushions. Man, it wore my body out. I hate doing boats but, sometimes I take on a couple of cushions. I love your videos Rudy !!! Keep it up! Eddie Perez

I love your demonstrations.

Your craftsmanship continues t9o amaze me. Thanks for sharing.

You’re really cool for sharing this with all of us. It really helps! Thanks man

total DIY dude here- time rich money poor with an old 99 Mazda truck to redo the seats- THANK YOU for this video and your content- it is appreciated! SUBSCRIBED! Now if I can just crank out the patterns next... HA! thanks again!

Quality craftsmanship, enjoyable video.

Technique #681 Always leave a positive comment - This was very informative and entertaining. Seriously great stuff. Thanks!

Amigo, I've been a mechanic for 32 years and as such, i have had to replace seat skins for blemishes under warranty Many years ago. Boy do i remember hog rings! I was TOTALLY impressed by your custome foam repair skills! I can do that! Thanks for the insight, the video was awesome. Mad respect my brother.

Great work sir. You certainly make it look easy

Great video. Thanks! Very timely too as I'm trying the same repair on my 2017 F150.

Great work sir! I have been working on vihecle seat for over 10years now

Love your work

Thanks, much love from old New Orleans

Nice vid. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

You are an artist. So cool.

Thanks for sharing

Electric turkey cutter works great!! Good stuff here,I enjoy your videos!!

As always, excellent!

Awesome job brother! I wish I could do upholstery! I been watching your stuff & I love it...got my sub for sure!

I am sure this is all old hat for you now, but it still must be gratifying to see it all come together. Thank you for the video!

Nice class today. Very practical

Nice and shine! Very good work...and you do can turn the job very simple. Tkanks man

Thank you really enjoyed your video,it was easy to understand

Cool.Thanks for sharing.Your so awesome!

I bought a sponge that you use for washing a car to repair my car seat. The density seemed the same too.

Very nicely done!

Great video. Thanks!

I once knew a rocket scientist whose hobby was upholstery. Rest in peace Dr. Adams.

very helpful, thank you.

Thank you for the video. *AutoFocus lock is a wonderful camera feature.

Most of the times I didn't even cut out the "Cancer" you referred to. I would just saturate the damaged area with contact cement, let it dry and then spray the HD foam I was using for a patch. When glued together I then used my small sandpaper disk grinder and shaped the foam to match the original contour of the rest of the seat. Sometimes I'd put the scrim foam but most times I was able to match up the contour of the original foam well enough that it didn't need the additional quarter-inch scrim on it to smooth it out.

I've learned how to do this years ago and repaired many seats, then i went fixing mine's but then realized i could buy a complete set of seats out of a brand new Audi they converted to RS look for 120 bucks, after that burning the old seats is the best way to fix them, and installing new ones by adapting the mounts on the chassis is way easier, unless you are fixing an antique or furnitures, so having this knowledge is well worth it.

Another excellent repair.

Thanks!

This is the second video i have seen of your. I hopefully in the near future attempt to try to re do the front leather seats on my wife's 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited .

Great video. Thank you

Very cool !!!!! Nice work !!!!!

Cool thanks man.

i do some upholstery work at the ford dealership i kinda like it some newer cars are a pain to do but i usually make time on them

Love the tutorial. Gonna try this on my old spare bike seat that my bro's dog ate up

Thank you!

Awesome video Thank you

Just found your channel thanks for sharing many professionals don't, don't want to give away their secrets, I wouldn't care if I show them or not, God brings in customers.

Thank you for sharing your craft. I have a. 2008 Nissan Titan P/U and driver seat outside foam and fabric falling apart. I believe I can repair.

Thank you. Subscribed.

All I did was think about fixing a seat that I have never said nothing out loud and then this video is suggested to me

reminds me of the good old days when my Chevette seat was wearing out i just unbolted 4 bolts and switched the driver's seat and passenger seat lol that was simplest repair good for another 100,000 miles of driving

looking good. nice job

Thank you

I have 04 FORD Encinoline work van, my drv seat is damaged like that. Not sure if I will attempt to repair myself but thanks for sharing the process. Pretty kool. 👍👍

He a Rocket Surgeon for sho ! 😂

Great job! I have few vehicles that need covers and padding! Wish you were Houston! Thanks the free knowledge and video be cool Byrne

This man is honestly hilarious and he doesn't even know it. I laughed at a good portion of the things you said. "Who you going to believe" got me and that's when i knew, i had to listen. Was he to arrogant to know his wrongdoings, or was he so smart he was willing to call out EVERYONE on the internet. 😂 I'm not making fun of you man, you did a great job. I was just abused

Good info.

I can fix many things, but how to repeat worn foam has always stumped me. Now I know! Thanks.

👍👍👍.Thank you

Always love your videos, Rudy. Now attempting some DIY stuff and it's a little harder than you make it look. But practice makes perfect! One question...when you're using the (NOT 3Men Super7ish) contact adhesive, how do you get that stuff off of your hands and everything? I can't NOT get it on my hands and EVERYTHING else...🤕

I love your work. Your videos are so informative. Thank you. PS. There wasn’t a need to replace one of the top part of the seat

nice, thanks !

Nice work 👍

GREAT VIDEO,, KNOW TO TO REPAIR, THE FOAM NOW, I WILL LOOK AT YOUR OTHER VIDEOS, ON HOW TO REPAIR SEAT COVER, ITS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, SLIDING IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK. 😎

I learned a lot! great job good video and nice view count!!

I have been gluing foam for sporting projects for almost 30 years. I have found closed cell you want to let it sit/get tacky. Open cell you can apply it wet. I figure this is because airflow still allows the foam to dry more easily.

awesome !!!

Good job

Brilliant instructional video. Thanks. Where did you source the repair section of foam from?

So i glued in a piece,reshaped it and glued a piece of vinyl over top like a patch. All these gm truck seats seem to wear in the same spot. Now the cover can move without dragging back and forth over the foam.

Genius!!

I wish i found you before i order new foam.

Excelente 👌🏻

Its exactly whats happening to my 92 toyota pickup!

Right to the business 😂

Great repair 100

I'm an upholsterer. What you did wasn't bad, but the way I do it is a bread knife, then finish shaping with an angle grinder with flap disk. You can get it pretty perfect without having any hard corners from cuts. Then spray with headliner glue, and top with dakron. You don't get so much extra pooch that way. Then recover and done. Also, I probably would wrap the seat bar with dakron before adding the foam so I didn't have a crush point where it was hollow under the foam

I thought for a second I was watchind buddy from cake boss spreading some fondant over some cake 🎂

Lesson #483, it’s called a HACKSAW blade, tool choice of the pros, use it, or don’t.

My work van is like this

Looks great. I may take a stab at it on my Ford.

Cool video dude

I find a belt sander works great for shaping the foam

I'm an upholstery guy from Israel and I love your videos. I learned a lot from you. How do you repair a broken wire in the foam?

That ending tho lol

Super 👍
