Nice video of E30 sport seat cover installation. I've been through this process myself, and I would add a few comments: First, I think it would be easier to install the seat covers after first removing the seat rails from the frames. This has the added benefit of allowing the rails to be restored (cleaned, de-rusted and repainted). Second, while the seats are disassembled and the hinges removed, it is an ideal time to refresh the seat mechanicals, including new seat cables and shocks.
10/10 video! I just finished a 4 part series fixing the rust and dying the carpet in my E30 but reupholstering the seats is next. You made it seem much more simple than I anticipated.
great video, wish you would have added oem e30 bmw heated seat pads, harness, and heat seat buttons. but thanks for the info because my seats are mangled
I recently picked up up some electric leather seats that I wanted to swap to manual cloth seats. I feel your excitement shock of how easy it was. Looking great brother.
Excellent detailed video. i need to replace the front seat covers on my E30. They want $800 to do this job. With the help of your video i should be able to replace the covers myself. Thank you so much.
Nice work and thanks for the video. Tricks go along way and sharing shortcuts and methods are why we watch videos like this. Found me a set of these sport seats for free! Now to buy a reupholstery kit. What kit did you end up purchasing? Keep up the solid work!
Good job. I’ll have to do something similar on my vw restoration. I just haven’t decided what color I want or how much to spend as there are a few kits out there with different levels of quality.
What happened to the back cover? Did your kit not come with the blue leather to cover it? Is that an LSeats kit? If so , it should've come with the leather for the backs. But, overall, you did a good job!
So looking at your vid, it seems like the e30 seats can be exchanged with each other, passenger to driver side and vice versa. Am I correct in assuming this possibility?
