Seat Foam Problems
I am attempting to put in new foam and seat covers, the first problem I am having, it looks like the foam for the seat(bottom) is way to big, the foam for the back and sides will fit fine with a little work. Also there is a hole near each rear corner of foam(about a square inch) on each bottom. So does anyone know if they had a lot of cutting to do or is my new foam wrong or am I getting in over my head. Any help is appreciated. Can't find upholsterer under $200 a seat, I was looking to pay $100 per seat.

Corvette America had a series of videos on installing new seat covers and foam. The 2nd video shows cutting and trimming new foam.
Here's the video link and hope it helps you out.

Actually I read about it on this forum in another thread when I was researching how to do my seats. So I can't take credit for the idea, however, as far as I know, these are the only pictures that have been posted.
