This is my newest favorite channel! Your personable demeanor makes this a pleasure to watch- on top of the golden knowledge you share. At about 14 mins, when you're sewing the pieces together I was like "That's going so smoothly- it doesn't look very hard." ten seconds later I was like "Uh, after 40 yrs everything looks easy. This does NOT look so easy for me to do.."

Looking at the seats in my van, knowing they need some attention. Walk in the house, open the computer and BOOM... there you are. Like Roger said below "I could probably do that." Then I also realized watching a master can make any craft look easy. I will be going to a qualified upholstery shop. Keep the local businesses alive and thriving. Fascinating to watch how the different stitches are done.

Richard, just found your site here and it's great... got a 92 Geo Tracker tow car that needs the exact same repair. Small back-story that you and viewers might enjoy: I retired as a Fleet Manager for Pepsi Cola and before Pepsi Corporate bought our franchise in Ventura in the 90's. We kept our vehicles a long time (now they are replaced every 5 years approx.) Anyway, we had some older cabovers that got heavy use delivering soda and the seats needed to be reupholstered frequently. Paul at Mac's Upholstery in Ventura did all our work and one morning I was sharing some stories with Paul about my time in Vietnam (1970's) and amazingly Paul had served on the USS Forestal (mid 1960's). His job ? Repairing the ejection seats on the U2's that were launched off aircraft carriers back then. I was stunned to find out that this wide winged plane was carrier launched, but indeed they were. Apparently the seats took a beating and Paul maintained them so the pilots had a "comfortable" ride during such a grueling mission and tight quarters. Thank you for your great DIY videos !

As an ASE Master Tech since 1978, SIR yellow connectors are SAE certified with a shorting bar in the plastic connector that is spring loaded to "Short" across the two inflator module metal terminals. Electrical current can NOT jump into the air bag and deploy it. If you think you really have to turn the key on, engine off, remove the negative terminal. From 1998 and newer (GM) the radio has electronic memory that is erased only with a scan tool. Volume, country, station and saved pre-sets are stored inside it. The SIR control module has capacitors that loose energy if battery is unhooked and cannot deploy inflator module after 5-8 minutes. Written material will tell you 30 minutes but they play it safe. The hook tool is sold in two lengths as a hose removal tool. Slid between a hose and inlet on a radiator, wiggle it left and right w/WD-40 and twist. The hose will free and slide off. If the air bag was on a bench, you have to work on the connector with an insulator installed under the shorting bar and takes some effort. This is a myth. Great video on a common problem, like why do the drivers door hinge pin bushings wear out first? Thanks!

Foam backing and repair another plus. Your tutorial and explanation were perfect. Your talent and experience is amazing. Learning these types of repairs initially takes a lot of practice. I don't think I'd try this repair myself these days. Many considerations to be able to complete and deliver an OEM look back to the seat. Kudos for this interesting repair. Was just browsing and decided to watch it. Glad I did and was totally absorbed with this repair. I'll be back!!!!

Part of my secondary duties in the Canadian Air Force, between aircraft inspection's, was safety systems, where as I repaired aircraft covers, seats and used templates to make garment bags etc. I really like how smooth your Juki with the walking foot preformed. I really enjoyed the sewing, as my grandfather was a tailor and I came by it naturally. It's not for everybody trying to match inner and outer patterns, and the day's went by so fast. I dreaded when an aircraft came into maintenance, and I had to go back to my regular job.

AIR FORCE not Air Force It is clearly written on the aircraft - You just have to learn to pay attention to detail AIR FORCE is MILITARY Air Force is what comes out of your Hair Dryer I served in tn the AIR FORCE for 30 years serving3 countries - beginning with the RAF (Bomber Command ) from 1961 - then the RAAF and two years on exchange with the USAF - flying Heavy Transport and commuter Jet. Again you failed to notice that the sewing machine brand is JUKI and not Juki Your eyes se one thing and your brain sees something entirely different. What you don't realize is that you were PROGRAMMED to be ZOMBIE. ZOMBIEs have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear. Paying attention to detail when one is in the pilots seat. So you have to re-program your brain. Learn also that all CORPORATE {legal}} names are always in the ALL CAPS iteration. Only the name of a living Soul is in Mixed Case Letters. I studied both Law and Electronics Engineering during my MILITARY service - and I cannot teach you Law in 5 minutes to explain why ALL CAPS are used and when. However you may catch on when you visit the cemetery and see How the NAME of the CORPSES is written on the stone. You will find every'body' is buried in the cemetery (Dead Centre)

Hello Big, There was a time I was doing commercial truck seats, only I fell into the trap of doing them too cheap, wholesale dealers. Stick with retail customers who will pay 100% retail. You will double your income. There is plenty of work out there. Just go for it! I stopped doing dealer work about 10 years ago and never looked back. Now, I get calls from dealers and the first thing they mention is that they are a dealer, knowing they should get a cheaper price. I laugh and tell them that was a big red flag. I tell them it doesn't make sense to me to do the same amount of work for half the price. I tell them I don't do dealers...

Thanks for making Auto Upholstery great again. Now I am going to be redoing all my seats. Wish me luck! I will need to watch a few more of your video's and blow the dust off my Granny's old machine, but we are going to give a whirl. TYTY You make it look simple and almost effortless, So I know it will not be quite that easy or simple. If it takes you 42 minutes it might take us 42 hours but it will be an experience non the less!

Upholsterer's are artist/magicians, I would never be able to do this.

I was a little worried about this video when he mentioned not removing the seat. Very impressive. Watching him work that material…I can see years of experience. Really good job on the video and the repair. Love it!!! This is one of those videos that made me subscribe immediately. Much respect Sir!!!
