Seat cushion- OEM, Durafoam or eBay special?

[iamdub]

I ordered it yesterday and the seller stated it should arrive by 12/4. Now I need to buy a new bottom seat cover.

Cool. I'll wait on your assessment. It's nothing I'm in a rush for.

Love the support of the Durofoam in my NBS. I don't like squishy except in the female persuasion.

The OE-style leather cover from The Seat Shop is leather for the buns and vinyl for the side panels, like OE. I probably spent $350 or so on both, plus a new seat heater on top of that. Not a tough job but one that I didn't want to do twice. Comfort and resale value (not that I'm selling anytime soon).

Unless I run across a deal on an OE cushion, I'll likely get the eBay special pending Dave's feedback. If not that, TSS's Durofoam it is.

I used to do interiors, mostly cloth to leather conversions on new cars. My biggest concern is the deep cuts and bleeding everywhere from the razor sharp edges of everything metal inside the seat. You don't realize you've cut yourself until you see blood smears in the foam. Just the memories have me checking my hands for cuts as I type this.

Seat Foam Cushion

Looking to replace seat foam cushion. Any recommendations where to buy from? I found The Seat Shop, OEM dealer and a couple sellers on Ebay. Just wondering have anyone purchased from the ones mention above. If so as far as price and comfort. Thanks

Who’s replaced their drivers seat foam cushion?

Driver Bottom Leather Seat Cover and Pad Install

Just reviewed the videos on You tube and see there is no way out of removing the seat to replace the Leather cover and seat foam on the drivers side. Very reasonable on ebay for a number of sellers. Pad, cover and socket and next weekend out it comes, in with the new!

Thanks for this, James! Super helpful!

Mine just has some light surface wear on the bolster that can be fixed with a filler/dye kit. Those kits are $70-$80. If this cover is good quality, I'd just replace mine instead! Saving this listing.

OEM is the best.

Listen, bub...don't confuse me with facts. I found a good deal here and my original only lasted 230K.

Gents,

I replaced the drivers side bottom leather cover with one I order from the same place Dave did. I had an auto upholstery guy do the replacement so I can speak to that process but the cover itself was of decent quality. The fit is a bit short where it meets the back. I think the fit was altered a bit because he built up the cushion some. I can post a picture if you guys want to show what I mean.

Sure! Let's see it. How long ago was it installed, time and mileage? How big a boy are ya? Just wanna gauge how they hold up.

He built up the original cushion?

I just steamed both front seat bottoms. If the foam isn’t coming apart or falling apart they will steam and stay just fine. I’ve been doing it for years. They puffed up so well, I steamed the leather a bit to get them back over the bolsters. Before it felt like I was kinda falling to the left when driving, now it’s just right.
