really do you need the music, its not the entertainment hour
Video is better if muted.
I just need to take my leather seat off and sew a busted seam while the upholstery is inside out. The leather is like new honestly. Does it suck putting the factory upholstery back on?
How the complete installation n not the easy parts!
It looks so easy,it took me 8 hours just to do the front two seat
What size hog rings are typically used for auto upholstery, 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch or something else?
That's why you get the big bucks
Hey Queequeg didn't I meet you on a whale hunt? Great vid!
Who can remake the ultra soft sapphire navy blue leather interior for my 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special with the 22-way seats designed by ital designer Georgio Giugiaro? Each seat has 7 air bladders and bottom/top seat heaters, too?
Very helpful video! Gave me the confidence to swap out the foam on my power driver's seat on my 1992 Ford Mustang GT convertible-sport seat. A few things I noted: A. Slapping the head rest into the channel did not lock it in place. B. On the upper seat, inside. Just above the horizontal bar, there is another smaller bar that had c-rings. I didn't see that you crimped any one prior to sliding on the upholstery… Thanks again for the video!!!!!!
What are the clamps called to cut the staples?
Looks like you could use some practice those covers would drive me crazy all lumpy and crooked better hope the costumer ain't like me cause you will be refunding the funds
Great job, first video that showed all parts of removal and installation, THANKS
Even if I wasn't a novice, I see every piece of plastic breaking on disassembly and then the foam would just disintegrate! 2000$ with new foam and it will still never look like new. You guys made it look easy and come out nice but this is a huge fail waiting to happen. Like, TMI covers and foam cost more than I paid for this car, there has to be another way!
Installation was much more difficult than anticipated. You need a 3rd hand. If you have the right tools and some help on a few spots, it's not too bad. Instructions said, "professional installation required" so I had to take that challenge.
ugly typical american car seat from the late 80s
well, it's not 100% perfect (the back upper looks a little oddly made) but it looks way better than plain old covers.
About how long does this take?
Music is annoying….
you have a video for the rear bench seats?
Get rid of the shit music
