Just wondered if any one who's re-upholstered their seats traced the pieces out and scanned them to save the patterns. My Driver bolster is worn out, spewing foam.
I think the fabric is intact enough to make a pattern though. Has anybody grafted new foam onto their old seat bolster? What kind did you use and where to look? There aren't very many junk yards around here, so need something readily available at chain type stores/ fabric shops. Did I mention cheap? Anyone found a good match for the bolster fabric(tan)? If I can get away with it, I'd prefer to only redo the parts that need replacement, to save time with seam ripping and sewing. Thanks |

I pulled all the fabric rings out with pliers, being careful not to damage the fabric and then after cleaning the fabric in the washing machine (yes it worked great and didn't damage the rods at all) put everything back together using zip ties. Holds it perfectly in place like stock except if i need to take back apart it will be much easier.
