Nov 24, 2022 Front Seat Uppholstry Category: Interior Finish
Short rainy day project I could do at home in the garage... I wanted to put the leather seat covers on the bottom portion of the front seats. The "Story Board" that SFSA provided was kind of lacking. However, SFSA does provide a link to an installation video that stars Eliane. She does a very good job of explaining the installation and makes it look easy. First you mark a line 20cm from the aft edge of the foam. Find the center and mark a line each side of center at 7cm and 12cm. Then, using a "needle" (I used a short piece of stainless pin, bent over to form a eye) thread the two strings through the inner 7cm line to the bottom of the cushion and tie if off using a small piece of leather as a backing. Then paint a light coat of 3M 1357 Contact Adhesive along the bottom aft seam lines. After that, tuck all the foam in and zip it up. They say that you can use a heat gun to help smooth out some of the wrinkles but I think mine turned out fine. I'm looking forward to doing the seat backs now.
