Foam padding for seats
Without spending a lot of money on having my seats redone on my 1970, I am having a problem with the foam padding. Apparently the foam is dried out and every time I sit in the seat the foam dust bleeds out of the seat and makes a mess. The seats are in great shape but just the foam is drying out. The center portion of the seats are perforated and this area and the seams are where the foam dust comes out. Does anyone have any suggestions. Is there any product that I can apply to the seats to help stop the foam dust from bleeding thru the vinyl or maybe a product that when applied will bleed thru the vinyl and seal the foam padding Thanks

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will send you a paper I've prepared on how I repaired my original 1971 seats in just that way. It is an 'involved' repair, but it doesn't have any 'difficult' parts to it. Here is what my original seatcovers look like AFTER re-stuffing the channel foam strips.
No more yellow dust!!!

I have the same issue with my 71
purchased new seat foam and took apart passenger seat to find foam in decent shape but dust actually coming from comfort weave area of seat covers
My seat covers are in great shape other than the break down of the comfort weave area
if you could post your solution it would be greatly appreciated
