[Scottydoggs]

poured here last night and most of the morning, checked my moon roof for leaks, all dry. got some fabric cleaner leather cleaner and some conditioner and some car odor crap. meguiars sells it cant be all bad. kinda smells like new car.

stains on the moon roof slider from a leak.



looks to be gone. still a bit wet see what it looks like tomorrow i guess.



cleaned the seats up, they didnt look dirty till you put cleaner on em lol forgot to take before's, afters will have to do.
seat bottom need to be replaced. that tear kills me.

outside is a filthy mess. if it stays nice out ill hit it with the buffer and make it really shine. been putting it off due to the cold. needs a full compounding too, swirls all over the place. gonna be a all day event i see already.

That tear isn't bad at all, easy to stitch up. Scrubbing bubbles work great at lifting the dirt off leather. Just gotta use conditioner once you're done, dries out the leather.

you got new foam too i hope, looks well used.

i got a thing with torn seats, i cant have that. they dont get smaller, only larger, then kill the foam then your buying foam too. as the saying goes, a stitch in time......f it ill get a new cover lol

the 05 silverado work truck i had to replace both the foam and covers on both sides. that added up pretty fast for vinyl covers even. best part is the new foam i got had heaters, i took them off to save. that truck dont have the option for em. now i got two bottom spares that will fit my truck. lucked out there.

No clue what Kicker sub is discontinued. But I have one that I might as well put up for sale since I can't use it. Its one of those gray or silver Comp VR's I believe. I bought it a few years ago from a member on another forum who had it for less than three months then he traded in his Tahoe. But apparently the sub Box on a Suburban is not quite as deep as the box on a Tahoe. I've just had the damn thing boxed up for the last few years "planning" on figuring out a way to make my sub box a bit deeper. But of course that never happened.....

How much is the sub sticking out? Could put a spacer on the face of the box to raise the sub. Theres some room between the box and the interior panel. I don't see an 8 having that much flex as to hit the panel.

No foam needed with that one. The torn foam you see is the thin foam that's sewn to the underside of the leather, not the actual foam cushion. This is what I do for dealers.

so being your a seat pro, where do you recommend getting a new cover from, other then gm of course....

ive seen a few ebay sellers who ask for your vin and rpo code to make sure its the right color.

im pretty close to pulling the trigger on a new cover. like i was gonna start looking today lol

Def not a pro. Alot of guys like using the Seat Shop. I think they have a video on YouTube. I just repair, I don't replace.

I do what I can. Sometimes I have to do miracles with the crap I get to work with.
