Seat Rebuild Kits
OK, so I asked Santa for a set of rebuild kits for Christmas. And i must have been good last year because I got them. I have read the directions a few times and it does not seem like rocket sience. I am sure some of you have done it. How hard is it really? The thought of pulling the seats out and finding myself in one of those " oh F ---" moments freeks me out...
Opinions?

Are you referring to the foam rebuild kits?
You will need to pull the seats out of the car and this link from Essential will guide you through the process.

Give yourself a Saturday, one seat at a time and you'll get it no problems. The link has pictures which are extremely beneficial!
If you hit a snag; PM me!

While you have them out, do the seat track upgrade, you won't be sorry. Put the seats in the full forward and highest setting before removal.
Someone said 30 minutes start to finish all new foam and upholstery and back on the road??? LOL.

Be careful taking the seats out of the car, the mounting metal can be nasty on the door jams and paint. Put some rugs and or blankets around the door/jam until you get the seat out, not heavy be a bit awkward. Good luck

If this is reference to my post you may wish to read it again. I only repaired the bottom bolsters and install the jute pad. Not replace all foam and material. And yes, it took me thirty minutes per seat.
