Occasionally, it is difficult to find a new and original molded foam for a type of vehicle. That is why an upholsterer should resort to some tips to repair the foam in a way it would last for a prudent time.
Perhaps, this VW backrest molded foam is easy to find, but the customer wanted the repair, instead.
This foam was still at the point of being rescued by adding some protection/reinforcement on top and on its reverse side. Fortunately, I have had at hand high density scraps of foam. Otherwise, I would have had to go to a junkyard to find a still good seat foam.
I hope you find these tips useful!

I'll have to watch this again when I'm no longer homeless. Sleeping in my car ruined the bolsters and the frame jams into my sides now.

Better days are ahead bro. Stay focused. Look for opportunities. Give 110%. I too was “wayward” at one point. But with the same formula and that determination. In two months I was up. Haven’t looked back since. Now I’m up. I’m talking UP UP.

I just did something like this a month or so ago. I picked up an inexpensive garment/drapery steamer and used it to clean and 'plump up' the foam before I started reconstruction of it. It rejuvenates the foam, and as a bonus takes away a lot of that 'old car stink'! You can also use it to tighten up the leather (if you have it) afterwards as well.

@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Жыл бұрын

A steamer has many uses... for pseudo 'dry-cleaning' of cloth upholstery or foam, try spraying on something like carpet cleaner, agitate it with a brush (if appropriate), then steam it and immediately suck the liquid out with a shop vac (use a slit attachment on the end of the hose). I've had very good luck with this method on everything from cloth upholstery, to baseball hats, to pizza delivery 'hot bags'. I use the Folex brand of spray carpet cleaner.

Great video! This is how I repair foam in boat seats. At first I tried to cut the repair foam in the shape of the bad spot. This always showed threw the cover. Then I started doing it like you do and using a sander to shape it better. What kind of contact glue do you use? I can only get it to work good when I spray it on. It never sticks when brushed on.Thanks for all your videos

Asi es, se retapizo como nuevo el asiento. Con respecto a la espuma, lo mejor es reemplazar la pieza por una nueva o en mejor estado. El cliente no pudo conseguir una nueva pieza y me solicitó/ordenó bajo su propio riesgo que lo reparara lo mejor que pudiese quedar. Y si se reparó para que durara unos años mas.

Yep. That's exactly how I do it; except I typically use burlap on the back instead of trunkliner. It's cheaper and works well.

I have to agree with the electric carving knife, but to each their own, and I'm glad you put something on the back of the foam Only thing I'd do different is at the very beginning, steam the foam to bring it back to its original shape...

Where did you learn how to butcher a foam repair like that? The foam is so broke down that’s why it’s all tore up. Buy a new back foam bun or cut the old foam off with an electric knife, not a damn hacksaw, use HR3070 foam. And ever heard of burlap? Use it.

What to do if the customer wanted it this way. Of course, I suggested buying a new foam which is cheap. He said no...just do the repairs as requested under my own risk. Anyways, it has been 6 months and the repairing and reupholstery is still in good shape. I saw this customer yesterday and he is very happy with the job.
