I don't know about the 39 buck kit, But I did replace my drivers seat bottom with a cushion that I thought cost a lot more than 39 bucks and love it.

I bought the kit you are referencing and it worked great. You could probably put together something a lot cheaper but the kit is convenient. It made a difference and my buddies now want me to fix their seats also. It was a good time to fix rocking seat issue too.

This should be the link for the repair kit.

I have also looked at the seat cushion that Bill is probably referencing. It is about $80 per cushion and looks like it has a lot more foam in it. It would still be wise to cover springs with something like the above kit has.

thanks for the link.

We sell a ton of these and yes they do work. Even if you replace your seat foam it's wise to add our kit to avoid the same issue.
