How to Restore a Compressed Seat Cushion Edge

Күн бұрын

I recently bought a 2004 Rubicon TJ (my dream car) and the left side of the driver's seat cushion was compressed and worn out. In this video I restore the foam as well as it can be to give it a few more years of life before it needs replacing. This install is also seen in my dream jeep video, which can be found here: • I Bought My Dream Car ...

Excellent video I will give it a try thank you

Good, concise, to-the-point video. I have the same problem with a compressed outboard driver’s seat cushion on a 2006 TJ Rubi. I’ll give this a try since it doesn’t look terribly hard to do. Thanks!

You're welcome! If you've already got a steamer, definitely worth a try

High strength thread lock is tough stuff on those seat bolts. Heat helps, but not an option around carpet. You got it done!!

Yeah, it's amazing how stuck that one bolt was for not being rusted

My wifes 2024 cars back seat had to be re covered under warranty due to some stitching coming undone. The dealer said the seat fasteners had to be ordered since they are considered a one-time use. They probably fasten ultra tight for safety reasons.

If you have cloth seats, do you even need to remove the cover?

@ProjectBilld Жыл бұрын

Not sure. Definitely worth a try before taking the covers off

Not a topic l have seen covered before, interesting to know this trick

Can you just do this by steaming the seat while its still in the vehicle or would it not work through the material?

@ProjectBilld 2 ай бұрын

Don't believe it would work through leather or vinyl, worth a try with a cloth seat

How long does steaming foam last before it returns to the original failure?

@ProjectBilld 23 күн бұрын

It's been a couple of years and mine still seems better than when I bought it

that's probably lock tight on those bolts. You don't want them coming out.

What happens if you steam the cushion without taking the cover off?

@ProjectBilld 10 ай бұрын

So I haven't tried it myself but it's worth a shot with cloth seats. If it's a leather seat it will just shrink the leather

How has this held up over time? still improved over the start? Or did it just revert back to being flat?

@ProjectBilld Жыл бұрын

It's definitely still better than before I did it. The cushion does need to be replaced and there's no getting around that but it's worth steaming an old one if you can
