MAKE POWER SEATS FASTER & LAST A LIFETIME 

Hello my Sweet Project Car Friends, we work hard to produce every video we can that you request. This video is short sweet and to the point on how to prevent issues with your power seats. This method is much cheaper to do than replacing the seat motors. We have a motto here, where there is a will there is away...you have to look at it this way, if your seat motors go bad you will have to remove the seat or seat cushion to fix them, so with that being said, you might want to find a way to remove the seat or its cushion to lube them up, which you would have to do anyhow to replace the motors, but it will be much cheaper to lube them then replace the motors.... We hope you all enjoy and it helps you.

I am going to do this for my seat! It's not been done since the car was built in 2000! I'm sure it'll be so much happier once I get to all the moving parts. 😊

AWESOME!!! I just installed some power seats in my 59 Biscayne and they were a little slow cant wait to take them out and apply this to them!!!! Thank you as always!!

Another job I desperately need to do today. All killer, no filler!

Love your videos! They're always so straight to the point, informative, & easy to understand. Thank you!

Thumbs up first👍🏻. Then play the video.

Thank you Sir. I have owned my pristine 2004 Denali since new. It is reaching that age that this type of "rare maintenance" tips will keep running perfectly.

That was a really smart preventative measure. Awesome tip SPC

Never seen anyone fixes these in this way , awesome as always .

As always another great video brother many thanks.

Hi there. New sub from across the big pond in the UK. Came across your channel and love your channel. Big thumbs up from Yorkshire!!!

I don’t have power seats but the same method works great on garage door hinges and if you have a screw drive. Thanks again SPC

I use KY to lubricate everything and I have no problems with my Rod 🤗 Thanks for sharing Buddy. Great video. I have to get my car seats up to par. 👍

This is a great method to keep your sunroof working smoothly also!! Re-greasing the tracks.

thank you, partner!!! I need to do this procedure soon, thank you for sharing! God Bless.

How nice of you to do that. Good job. Enjoyed your video.

Did this on my 2004 Corvette seat when I took them out to clean a spill that went under it. While I had them out I lubed it with the syn grease and all the pivots. The thing of it is, you just don't want to go to the trouble if it is not broken. What you need to realize is that straining them is going to bust them and then you are up shits creek. Prevent this horror. Do what you are told or it will cost you. When I had them out I fixed the foam with glue and then reinforced the areas where the frame dug into the foam to split it. This is a known problem with these seats. I also went into the tubing for the lumbar support bags and checked it out and 303'd them. and zip tied the connections. There are side supports laterally which leak down slowly after they are pumped up and I do not know if they are supposed to do that. There is a fix for the lumbar and side support airbags that involves using adult and child size blood pressure cuffs instead of trying to get the factory parts which cost hundreds. Use the right size blood pressure cuff bags and velcro them in place, attach the tubes and you are supported like new. There are are many size cuff bags, like the infant, child, adult and the extra large. Just saying. If you got that kind of seats and the motors are pumping check if the motors hold pressure. If they hold pressure then the leak is the bags or tubing and you can get the feature back. If the motors do not run, use a jumper to see if the switches are bad. You might be able to pull them apart like window switches, clean em up and be back in business at no cost for switches that may not be available. Some of this stuff runs switches to a module controller which can be looked into. Sometimes all it takes is to heat up the solder joints and eliminate a cold solder. You never know. Done this with stereo stuff that was bounced around going to and from college in the 70's and 80's. As long as you have them out you got nothing to lose going through them. Might get lucky.

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!! How is it you know about every issue I'm having with my truck??? 😁 Thanks for sharing and the GREAT tip my friend. Have a Blessed day!!! 🚀🚀

Very useful tips... Great!

although my car does not use automatic seat but I can feel that many people will be thankful that this video has saved their money. keep up with the best video .. thank you

Just did this. Worked good.

Ha, gotcha Dan! My seat power is already guaranteed to last a lifetime (well unless I lose a couple of hands) BUT, when I do get another more luxury car I'll know what to do.

Proste, skuteczne rozwiązanie. Pozdrawiam!

thank you, partner, for sharing Excellent video!!!!!

Excellent, as always! Thanks!

Nice job, great advice!

You Gotta Be Talking To My Wife ! LOL Happy Irish Heritage Day my friend. JD

Good advice and well done.

Thank you , very helpful. 👍

Awesome tutorial thanks

Love your work can you please upload a video on how to clean white seatbelts

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Project Cars. Totally could have slipped a "handy dandy" in there somewhere.

No work on the car today it’s in the shop.so just watching spc videos oh yeah!

Wow, great video in time for my latest dilemma with the Mercury. Crazy how I was just tackling this same exact seat issue about 2 weeks ago. The passenger seat would not slide back or forth and had been that way for a year. Finally I had time to fix the issue. First I had to figure out why it was not sliding and binding up the motor. I had one track jammed with a large piece of fabric. There was a shirt under the seat and it grabbed the track and roller gear. What a nightmare to free it up, since it was nearly impossible to get to the tight area. I eventually used a small torch to burn the fabric to the point that I could move the seat past that section. It took almost an hour of slowly moving and burning, back and forth till it all moved with me forcing the seat with my body weight. I sprayed down the tracks with 3 in 1 lube but know that I need to put the grease on everything like you showed. Thank you for the great tip. I will be definitely doing this to my car, the seats and motors are I desperate need of it after 20 years

my work truck dr side barely reclines have to give this a shot

SUPERB JOB !!!!

Great to see how to grease your car seats ! What is the best way to get to your screws drives on your seats when they are not exposed and open with out tearing down your car seats ? I have a 2008 RX 350 Lexus. One other thing I have lighted bottom door step plates and one is out went to dealership and they told me that my car doesn’t have them ???? I showed them and they couldn’t find a part for this year. What do you think about this any ideas. Thanks.

Forget about the PITA doing the job swapping the motor... on most modern cars the motors aren't sold separately from the dealer and you have to buy a whole adjuster assembly and it's crazy $$$. I know on my 14y/o dodge truck it's $800 (you can safely guess that when mine stopped moving I took it apart and fixed it).

Thank you 4 sharing , great information

thanks didnt even think about it

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks my friend you have make my day. Let me ask you this, do you know how to adjust the door so it can close on its own, and or not to make noise when bumping the door? Well I have lubricated the hinches , still some of my doors I need to push a littel bit, while others I just let it go and closes properly.

Another great tip

Nice Video Thanks

Your videos Rock!

The power seat in my wife's fusion will go forward and back but the front tilt down and up and the overall up and down on the seat doesn't work, I heard that sometimes the connectors or the switch can get dirty and I saw a video where they just disconnected everything then sprayed it all with CRC Electric Cleaner, let it dry and reconnect the motors and the seat worked, have you heard of this method, I haven't tried this yet but sounds better than $100+ for a new board.

Thank you💯🙌🏿

Awesome AGAIN!!

How about a video on lubricating the sun roof? Mine moves really slow and seems like the motor is struggling sometimes. Probably needs a good lube there.

Good job.it sucks to do on a old Cadillac.lol

Would you use the AIM plant safe lubricants now instead of what you used 5 years ago?

But how you remove the seat cushion/cover? Even my factory service manual doesn't say.

I have done this before. It seems that people would wait too long to bring in their seats for Lube. And The old power seats were already shot.. Lube it all up and it would work well... until the customer sat down. . And then the moter were worn-out already. . So my question is are the newer car power seat Moters more resilient than the "last 20 years"

I wanted to know why during the cold weather my steering wheel turning left or right makes a slight noise, but on a warm weather it doesn't? Just like to know how I can prevent or get rid of the noise.... Truly appreciate it, if u can help out.....

Can you do one of these for a power telescoping/adjustable steering wheel?

It’s always dodge with seat issues. Wether it’s tracks, motors, gears, or cushions.

Have a fix if only one rail moves and the other is stuck?

there is or not a video how to prevent rubber at the bottom of the car or in the spring, the joints from being cracked or damaged and make it last longer .. thanks

What type of grease are you using?

"Glad you're here with us! "Another awesome vid by SPC!!!! (And give a shout out to your biggest fan "TYLER DURDEN"!

Hey my friend this is Neil Strike..just changed my name to troll some people haha. As always great video!!! despite not having mother put a spanking on it ha! Quick question.... Have you ever thought about putting a commercial or 2 so you can get some money for your videos? I would watch them threw without skipping commercials just to help as I can! I am sure others feel the same way because it's the least we could do to help you out for your amazing content!

Sweeeeeeeet!
