Laura here to clear up some misunderstandings about this repair: (1) I have successfully used this method to seal holes and deformed seat foam in the past, & they, like this repair, were permanently successful. The recycled vinyl seat cover layer on top is what makes this method work. It keeps the same tension as the rest of the seat without pealing up or shifting. It also seals all the foam underneath. (2) We are transparent about the seat's previous condition, & everyone who sits in it can't tell where the holes originally were. (3) Many auto interior parts/materials are inflated or impossible to buy (even for repair shops & dealerships). This is why getting your own seat repaired would be very expensive. At Freedom Wholesale, we do everything we can to provide quality workmanship at the most affordable price for our customers, **updating them throughout the process with exact repair details/ pricing & getting the customer's consent to move forward** (4) We post videos to encourage & educate people (who want to repair their own cars) that it IS possible & affordable to do these repairs & replacements yourself. Thank you for watching & supporting our channel!

Looks like a nice cheap and easy way to fix seat for a working man's truck. 👍 good job

That’s not repaired, that’s patched and there’s a difference

It's all awesome. I'm glad you're good at what you do. But, after 35 years of doing upholstery, I can tell you that today, there's a spray, made just for upholstery, foam that works wonders for filling in seat holes, and it also sculpts easily. Would definitely save you a ton of work and time. Just a thought from an old-timer. 😊

Nahhhhhh man I wouldn’t even pay for that fam

A very creative fix! I wouldn't have thought to use old scrap like that! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

I'd prefer on my car to be able to see a leather seat again. But you're excellent at your job.

This is great, I'm about to repair the hole in the seat of a cheap 23 year old truck I just bought. Although I did go to the junkyard and cut out some foam from a passenger seat of the same generation of truck as mine.

Perfect inspo I needed!🤩👍

This is actually awesome

This is what I needed!!!

So clever!

Used an electric knife to cut foam then glue new foam in place. Use scraps of material to protect foam metal springs and wire rim of the frame. Probably feels a bit funny in the crotch

Just do it right the first time by getting new cushions and upholstery or better yet just go to the junkyard and take good seats off of a similar vehicle

Good work

Uhmazing work

Honest and even says it’s budget I see nothing wrong with this

Would you not feel it if you sat in that seat though?

100 years from now, they/them will find this and be amazed by the ingenuity 🔥

I would just put the seat cover on and done

As a person who has had an upholstery shop, I’m crying.

Nice

Just put a set cover on it and done lmao.

Really amazing what people think is good. Disgrace to Upholstery pro's everywhere.

This technique is great. It would have come in handy on a few vehicles I have owned in the past. My only negative comment is about the seat cover. It seemed to be a really cheap one. If you had gone with a little higher quality it would have been great!

Nice fix in a pinch but this is the reason i check under seat covers when buying a used vehicle.

Yea if the vehicle is worth buying so is a nice used or repop seat. That’s a farm truck repair.

This repair is about the same as the ol body shops that would stuff newspaper in rust holes and fill with body filler without cutting away the rust. Please stop doing "repairs" like this! You give us good upholstery shops a bad name doing this crap.

Why don't you use the soft spray foam. It's the same thing.

Is a good repair, don't get me wrong -- but having done stuff like this in the past & ending up with horrific nerve pain in my back -- that $300-400 for a new seat cushion & cover is a no-brainer. I'll spend more $ on physical therapy, & lose out on more jobs due to downtime -- then I would by just doing it right the first time.

You can buy a seat pan and seat foam for peanuts online.

I just order the Chinese seat bottoms and pull the seats out disassemble them and then put the new cheap bottom on it it looks better and costs about 100 bucks to do plus some man hours.

I'd probably use pieces of cushion from a pillow or or seat of that nature. I feel like the pieces of seat leather would be jabbing me over time. Good stuff though. If it works, it works.

Why use the same foam material to fill in, wont you feel the hardness of the different material?

So comfy go to a junkyard a chair is it gonna cost you maybe $100?

❤

Buy seat cushion foam. And honestly you were really close to a good repair. But once you had it totally filled it you could have used a vinyl repair compound and then dyed the seat and it would have been fine. In my experience seat covers make people want to see underneath for what is wrong with it

Why not use a canna foam to fill in those gashes or go get some of that foam that is for like arts and crafts from Hobby lobby and what’s the point of doing all that patchwork if he’s just gonna cover it

Why do you think that layering vinyl instead of filling the hole in the Foam with actual Foam?

Fill the hole and get a seat cover lol

I mean, that's one way to do it?

Wouldn't foam be better than pieces of scrap headliner?

You forgot to shove newspaper in there😂

I would just put the seat cover on.

Great video! Subbed 👍🏾

Gotta be the most uncomfortable seat you ever sat in

So when exactly is this woman gonna be single/be my girlfriend??? Wayyyy to cute!❤❤❤

What a hack

I would've went to the pull-a-part and gotten a new seat😂

So the key is to just cover everything with a seat cover. Yeah I can do that. 😅

Feel like bigger chunks of foam would have been in order not the tiny little strips

Hop fam? Hoppe by any chance?

You know they sell seat covers, right?

Holy cow! She sounds so proud of herself.

Where is this located??

Ok and it will work but I was hoping for a nicer finish than a cheap seat cover. Oh well.

Wait i guess

Beware of seat covers.

If youre putting on seat covers, use duct tape.

It would probably be easier to just get new cushioning and seat covering or just go to a junk or scrap yard and get a seat out of a vehicle that is about the same make or model. Instead of filling the holes with scraps of stuff. Just saying.

Bro

Choke

I've done upholstery for more than 2 decades and this not a good way to repair it

Looked better ripped

I put my wallet in my left back pocket.

Why did you place trash in the hole? My asp is very sensitive and I will feel that you know.

Lol.. Oh no no no

What?!

That’s not repaired. That’s hiding. Are you serious?

Why not just put on the seat covers

Just buy a new seat

I hope people don’t actually pay for this

It looks worse

This is click bait.

booooo for finish

That looks like a cheap fix

I want NEW FOAM A that's why I came to you not some patchwork

That is far from a decent repair

Could have saved half that time and threw the seat cover on first. Boom. Practically the same result…

I could repair the whole seat cover in less then 2 hours in the shop and you need to replace the foam

I get it, but, I'd be ashamed to ask a professional to do this if I didn't have the money to get a real repair. 99% of people could have done something like this at home. Which is probably why she posted this video 😂

Gee, I surely wouldn't brag about it. There is a right way to fix it and that ain't it

Lmfaoooo that's terrible

🫢🫢🫢🫣🫣🫣🫣🙄🙄🙄

It's not a repair it's just a cover up😅😅😅

Sure it's nice what you're doing but I don't understand why people pay for things they could do themselves

Tacky. No skill.

I wouldn't pay anything for this service. no point when I could go to someone who is licensed to fix it

Why not fix it right? Rather than hide a patch job with a cheap seat cover? Tell us you don't value your customers without saying you don't value your customers.

You’re basically talking about covering up not fixing it. What the heck👀😱🤷‍♂️👀😱🤷‍♂️👀😱🤷‍♂️👀😱🤷‍♂️👀😱🤷‍♂️

That's not a repair that a hack job.😮

Taking bagged out old cars and patching them up to rip off a mother of 3.

Final result is very underwhelming

That´s what you call a Ghetto repair right there.

Hack job. You chose to put this online?

Nope not paying for that it’s all patched up don’t like that

Terrible “repair”. Sure am glad you are not a physician.

Probably cheaper to get that same seat at a junk yard......I've done it several times....

Lol seat cover

Thats not really fixingthe problem, just covering it up
