Use a wet towel and a hot iron to shrink out the wrinkles. Lay down the wet towel on the wrinkles and put the hot iron on the towel and steam out the wrinkles. It shrinks it right up tight. That's how we used to do it, when needed, at Jay's Auto Upholstery Shop in Pomona, CA.

Really good. Always appreciate your teaching and guidance, Kevin.

"Like puttin socks on a rooster." Hahah awesome

I can truly say this car seat saved my 13 months old babygirl. We were in a terrible rollover accident and my daughter didn’t have a single scratch. I’m here to purchase it again after the accident and wanted to write this review. Buy it! Worth every penny!

Great job as usual. I watched this video after I installed new covers lol. I pretty much did it the same way. I would suggest to everyone watching, buy a good pair of hog ring pliers!! The pliers that came with my cover made for sloppy work. They ended up breaking, fortunately on the very last clip :)

Kevin. You are awesome! Thanks for all that you do for the automotive community!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I think it's time to squeeze the trigger on a kit.

I appreciate you so much Kevin. I am restoring a 1996 Ford F150 XLT. I have the one with the big super big engine. I’m excited. It’s in great condition and only has 80,000 miles on it. I’m reupholstering my seat today… And even though you’re working on a different vehicle than I am you’ve been a lot of help. Got to make sure to subscribe. Thanks buddy

I was hesitant to do mine on my 76 GMC, but after watching this video I think I can handle it

I found 2 sets of covers under the outer one on my '65 Falcon!

I think you talked me into it Kevin. I really need upholstery for an 83 squarebody and I was planning to farm this out to a really expensive upholstery guy near me, but I think between my wife and I we can do this. Your videos are awesome

Great videos! Please add some tutorials on replacing body panels.

Thanks feel very informed, it really turn out professional.

Need to do this video for an older truck. Also would like to see spring repairs available.

I need this for my 94 Ford F150 Thanks for the video Bud

Cya at the LMC Nationals!

I always put new seat vinyl in the sun, usually sitting on my black car roof absorbing lots of heat, and loosening the vinyl. The plastic does work great on the tighter skins on seat backs. Also, after hog ringing the skins on your new seats, I let the completed set sit out in the hot sun for an hour or so, so that vinyl can relax and take a set to its new shape and form. It prevents tearing of the vinyl

That lmc shirt is badass

Looking at an LMC kit for our C10 truck build. I was wondering if you had any pictures or if anyone had any reviews on the wear of these. But great video, we love your guys parts!

Great How To video! Thanks. I'm ordering my kit from you guys asap!

Hey Kevin, Thanks for the video. I am going to re-upholster my 91 Ford Ranger bench seat and I am curious where you got the foam for the bottom seat. I ordered a foam kit from LMC as well but It sure would be nice to find a new one. I have looked extensively and not found any. Any ideas?

Good job 👍 John Louisiana LA

I just did a lmc seat kit on my channel Geof jones customs . Nice fit , easy to do .

Nice video my seat on the driver's side has sank in i have 1981 Chevy c10 probably needs spring replacement

would be nice to see how heat warmers were plugged together, and plugged to the truck power source.

I've been doing upholstery for years and every single install kit I've got has came out with wrinkles since they are made through a single pattern . Of course I've never turned one in with wrinkles. Just have to use a steamer and or a light layer of dacron or that 1 inch foam. Very few have been super tight and for that matter I would recommend using a large trash bag, cut down the sides to cover the whole bun and itll be the easiest slip on (dont recommend for those doing heaters).

Hey Kevin, Would ya do a short video on your prep table ? Dimensions ?

If you had used a steamer on the back foam it re-expands it to its original dimensions.

Just FYI to anyone doing this at home, we did it today and the hog ring pliers that come with the kit are junk. I bet that is why Kevin used a better pair in the video. Do yourself a favor and get the better pair of pliers. Even the Pittsburg pair from Harbor Freight are good.

Wow blather your spesial make American seat car make sure very nice work good jobb

Wish my seat looked as good as the seat you started with. Need same color too!

Definitely buy the pliers

I wish you would have done a video on the type of seats that are in my 1992 Chevy C1500 which has the armrest along with the head rest showing how to reupholster those type of seats ? I purchased quite a bit of stuff from LMC trucks and I was thinking about the upholstery but this video does not show me what I need to feel confident to do the job myself since I have a center armrest built into the bench seat along with headrest

Excellent presentation. Glad I didn't have to watch you sand and paint the slides. Thanks for the tip using the plastic bags.

Cool car

OK Folks, I ordered the seat cover for my 86. Seat covers went on and fit great. I would strongly recommend purchasing a decent set of hog ring pliers due to the ones that come with the kit are a joke and do not work. 2nd LMC only provides the bottom Seat cushion and not the back seat cushion for certain years, note the reason he did not replace the one in the video. Just a heads up. Great Instructional Video regardless.

does it come with the foam padding?

I just got a seat cover for my 1964 Ford f250. The cloth seats are worn out. hopefully I can find some foam since the foam from LMC is on back order.

on the bottom section, definitely want to put the back J channel on first, I tried a few times with the front first and it never pulled back enough. searched for a video, saw this, did the back first and it laid right over.

want the same cover u have online they only got vinyl with some fake suede in the middle

Well I'm sold

Do you have a repair kit for a 2009 ford f-550 super duty? just the bottom seat in grey

Done good job I nd to do my 84 seat it done got holes worn through it

Would of like to see how you connect the heated seats wiring 🤓

Have the seat warmers been tested with an EMF meter to ensure they don't emit EMF radiation?

Correct me if I have unrealistic expectations, but that didn't look like a good fit...it looked loose and wrinkled... is that normal? will the cover shrink to fit?

Anyone know where I can get bench seat tracks or frame? I have bucket seats from a older van, they don’t fit well.

good night I want to know where I can get the seat lining and the clothes of the doors

Are these seat heaters a good substitute for an actual heater in a truck?

No carpet layer between the foam and the seat springs?

I really wanna get seat warmers for both driver and passenger back and bottom but I don’t know enough about wiring :(

Does anyone know the color of the seat at 1:51 my truck has that seat color but it’s ripped and I want to replace it but I want that same color because that’s the color of the interior and I want it to look stock

If only LMC still sold the bench foam and covers. I've been trying to find foam and covers for my 97 ram 1500 for 2 years now. no luck. junk yard hear I come.

I need the backrest for my 85 square, cant find it. Anyone have any other sites that are recommended

I’m curious on where he got the bottom foam 🤔 because LMC doesn’t say anything

where do i get replacement foam? for a 1990 d250.

I love this modern hi tech truck interior, wow,, is this set up still available in new model pick ups and suvs ? if they have this similar interior, i will buy a new one

Buenas noches quería saber si vendes partes para a esa camioneta

Do we have a kit for 54 chevy 3100 ???

Just FYI, we did not receive hog rings or the pliers in our kit. Luckily tractor supply has it in stock

I have a dilemma, I got in new upholstery in, removed old upholstery , the old upholstery was I’m assuming glued to the seat foam, added padding and batting then applied new covers….. but the old ones were glued and oval clipped in but new is hog ring … but there’s no the to hook the hog rings to, what can I do?

Can I have that old seat upholstery? It's a lot nicer than mine!

😊

"Bob's your uncle"

LMCtruck is way out of my budget on everything they have to offer!

Nothing on the website for a 91 gmc?

Is there any vacancy in upholstery and designing sewing seat cover in your company?

I know this is a old video but does the kit come with the foam for the back I need both the seat and the back foam

Called LMC. They said seat kit for my 83 k2500( 38-2297-bl) did not come with seat belt cut outs on the vinyl/ velour. How do go about putting them in w/o slicing it all up?

Been down this road a few times. Find an old school upholstery shop, tell them what you want... Pay and reinstall seats. Last bench I had done was 325 out the door.

Do you guys carry these for a 1984 Dodge W150? Awesome video, as well! Nice, simple, and straight forward. :)

I’ve got the same exact truck I’m rebuilding

No sewing? Seems pretty easy to me.

"Like an old dry banana" LMAO

i'm currently installing the LMC seat covers on my square body bench seat and i will say the covers are of good quality and the replacement seat pad LMC sells is great quality too. however, the Hog ring pliers (and hog rings) that they include in the kit are TRASH. there is a reason Kevin is not using them in this video and using a higher quality set of hog ring pliers. i struggled through the seat back cover install with the hog rings because of the crummy pliers and cheap hog rings and i have a better set of pliers and better hog rings on the way for when i do the seat bottom. ALSO to note a factory bench seat will have plastic trim pieces on the seat bottom where the seat belts come through to protect the seat cover, and the replacement seat cover is not designed for that. instead they have a pleather patch sown over were the seat belts come through with a little flap, which took a fair bit of trimming on the seat cover to get the factory plastic pieces to fit correctly ALSO if any of your small springs on the seat bottom are broken LMC DOES NOT sell those springs or the wire if any of those are broken (no clue why) you can find the small springs on Ebay and you can replace any broken wires with mechanics wire

Guys dont use knifes to make cuts on the leather part use round stuff to poke it making cuts with blades will make the cuts run with time while using it it will get damage with time how he did it

Where do you hook up the wiring for the seat warmers

The quality on these LMC ones ain't good. The seams are splitting after 2 years, and the color has faded from the sun. I'd say just pay your local upholstery shop.

Does a bench seat from 84 c10 fit 75c10?

"perfect time to put on some white lithium grease" *sprays wildly random pattern, misses the inner track completely...

I'm bummed to not be able to find this product for my vehicle.

2:42 Keep track of the track. Wise words.

Is there a red one available?

What is the density & type of your foam pad?

If the seat foam is the "heart" of the upholstery where do you buy it since it is not offered by LMC. It is a little miss leading.

Where can you get the seat coverings?

Where can I get the vinyl upholstery replacement?

Looks Easy 🤔

Bandages not included haha. Nice job

Way do yeah always do chavy and not 1988 ford f350 crew cab 2wd truck

Does the kit come with the Foam?

LMC website says estimated cost for everything in video 1600.00 . Damn thats more than what I purchased my squarebody for.

Where do you buy new foam?

Awesome web site but when it comes to interior peices it seems to skip my year of dodge ram d350 from 1986

Bought one today and it doesnt have holes for seat belts so i gotta cut them myself?

Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. kzfaq.infoUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat

The video is great but it does not show how to do the corners on the seat back in the area down low by the release levers on each side. There are two skinny pieces that have to be folded and hog ringed in.

What material is the cover?
