On a 2012 Chevy Silverado, after stretching the new seat over the foam, I removed the two 15mm bolts anchoring the driver's seat back to the seat bottom on the right side only. This allows the back to hinge up giving more space to pull the foam through. Also, by inserting a flat piece of metal under the foam, the foam doesn't hang up on the sharp seat bottom frame; just pull the piece out after the foam is showing out the back. A note to the wise…if you have vinyl or leather seats, watch the Seat Shop.com comparison video before purchasing another brand!

Thanks. Had a seat repaired locally and the shop reinstalled the headrest mount incorrectly. Had to disassemble an fix since I couldn't take it back to them. Video helped a lot.

Customer update – Purchased bottom seat foam for this model rig and replaced it today. Excellent instructions, I used your video to walk me through it. Had to get get a new seat adjuster clip that went flying too far to bother looking for it, otherwise no issues. Think it was the 1/2" clips, had to buy a mix pack. I wore leather gloves when removing and replacing the cover/foam combo. Also, struggled with the very front fastening rail. Ended up, you just set seat on floor, sit on it and compress the foam a bit and you're golden. I did this as a one man job, and again, the bottom driver's foam only.

Was also a good time to lube the lead screws on electric seat as well, takes a couple seconds. Cleaned under there a well with good access, what a mess, I made 12 cents though

Lastly, this foam firmed up the seat so much it reminds me of my 2009 Toyota Tacoma I just sold. Bolster isn't quite as firm as Toyota, but it's way better than Chevy OEM, about twice as firm as the replacement foam with 200k of seat time on it.
It's so much firmer the rubbing of the right bolster squeaks a bit running the seat back and forth. Good stuff for sure, 5 stars.

I'm a SeatShop customer from here on out. Thank you

Thorough and quick, bought bottom part for 2008 Silverado, 190k miles, worn out. Power seat difficult to reach in, but my grandson’s hands did the job. My mechanic said he’d do it for $100, night job, so I assume dealer would charge twice that.

jeepmor says:

great vid, thanks for sharing. Will be contacting you guys soon as I have the typical worn foam issue on the seat bolster. I appreciate how you guys made the seat foam replacement firmer.

I did my 09 silverado . I was able to do the entire process with out removing the seat. Seat cushion is amazing!!! Much much better

Bro, the most important part I was looking for.. when you fasten back in to place the front end.. you had to be in front of the camera… NICE

Just did the driver side lower cushion in my 2007 Avalanche. This video is awesome guide to get it done. Man I should have replaced this cushion a long long time ago!

Hey guys, thanks a bunch for the help………My drivers seat lumbar knob was on there ….oh my was it on there …. I had to get a lot of slack in the towel so i could get as it could be said a running start so i could yank like hell . It finally came off on the 4th or 5th pull just short of pulling the passenger side wheels off the ground from all the G's i put on that sucker…….. i was replacing the seat switch and there was no damage to the knob or mating piece.

if you have power seats make sure you raise it up before disconnecting, it makes it easier to attach side flaps. A putty knife works well to latch the sides and back flaps. Mine looks better than new thanks

Dean Kay says:

As you stated, this is a 2010 or newer that appears to "Snap-in" the folds, but the older seat cover designs uses full length type "Velcro" or hook & loop as found on a 2003 Tahoe or other GMT800. What is best practices for repairing the velcro on the foam if it comes loose, tears or separates? Even when a foam cushion that is in good shape, things happen, I don't want to purchase a new foam cushion? Glue or what? Suggestions?

kenman1717 says:

is this procedure similar for a 2015 that is heated and has the vents in the seat for A/C? I have to replace that same cushion and the cover this weekend for a customer. they wanted a full seat but none available, so they opted for this.

Dan Dorgan says:

Great video.  Very helpful.  I found it helpful to raise the seat all the way up before disconnecting.  That gave me lots of clearance to get the job done.   Thank you for the great helpful video.

Thank You. Worked well for replacement of my 1500 Silverado seat bottom.

Awesome tutorial you guys and thank you!!! It would have been tighter and less wrinkles if you had put the top clip where it belonged and clipped it around the metal frame. At 34:18 you just tuck the clip and don't attach it where it was removed from at 24:27. This looks like a great quality product if installed correctly, but in my opinion it appears not attaching that top clip properly and pulling the material tight will lead to excessive wrinkles (As was the end result) and premature tearing around those headrest holes since the topside wasn't pulled over tight into the correct location…… By the way, Thumbs up and I'm subscribed!!!

Nicholas Bradley says:

I wonder about swapping the driver and passenger lower foam cushions, so the worn down part is on the inside.

John Nunez says:

Do you have a video to replace the jump seat leather? Not just the cover all mine is stained.

Dark Nite LMM says:

I'm having a hard time seeing and getting the front lip to snap to the metal plate.. I got the truck like this and have been almost burning the truck down to fix it hahaha

brap life says:

The back of my seat "same design as one in video just full electric" squeaks when I lean back in it. The sound seems to come from the back what could that be?
