Default Repairing the seat foam...

OK
I first removed the plastic cover and 2 handles --the height adjustment handle has 2 screws...
Then I removed the 2 floor covers in the rear of the seats and the 4 bolts..
Its gonna look like this


Then I took the seat foam that was ripped by my massive frame...and peeled the leather off the cushon/frame..cutting the ZIP TIES that I used to secure the fabric to the foam..
Lookie like this....


Then I went reverse and put it back and taadaaa!



Easy to do...WITH ZIP TIES
(its an inside joke.....really it took me to do this 1 hr most.)

my buddy whos an upholsterer said that the way to fix that is wrap the seat frame with a soft fabric. We did it to mine when i did the roush covers.

LOL really? Mark I appreciate your willing to help but you do realize the roush setup is different. the ZIP TIES (inside joke) will not work in this instance. the roush foams are setup differently. i'll see you soon buddy.

I know...I just wanted people to see how quick and easy a mod this really is...hog clips or zip ties..piece of cake
I just went and purchased a new seat back and 1-2-3 feels like a new seat.

1+ on that, I've been selling them for months, they aren't designed the same as factory leather....so much more plushy but your install will definitely help people converting from cloth to stock leather interior.
