C5 Corvette Seat Rebuild Kit


Seat foam and padding rebuild kit for the C5 Corvette - $39.95


Available here: http://www.southerncarparts.com/and-...it-p-3737.html


It is no secret that the seats of the C5 have a reputation for being less than satisfactory in the area of comfort and support.




The kit includes:
-Enough matierial to complete 1 seat
-Upholstery grade high density foam.
-Tough, wear-resistant ballistic nylon fabric.
-New, high quality, wire cover Jute Pad
-Zip ties to replace the metal hog rings.
-.25" thick high-density pad
-Detail step-by-step photo instructions.






Over the last year or so, a solid repair process has been developed and we want to share it with everyone. We wanted to see how it worked out in my car for a year and can say I feel its 100% better than OEM. There are two problems: The side bolsters from the factory do not have any support under them. So as you climb in/out of the seat, the outside bolster foam tears where it sits on the steel seat frame and quickly sags or goes flat. The steel wires in the center area cut into the foam and quickly cause the foam to sag and pinching around the hip area. I found this extremely uncomfortable after only 15 minutes.




This seat rebuild kit comes with all of the seat foam insert pieces necessary to provide the extra support needed to give your Corvette seats a more luxurious feel. If you want to improve the comfort of your Corvette without replacing the stock seats, this simple and affordable kit is a fantastic means by which you can do this. Easily installable at home, this kit provides the extra, high-density, strong and comfortable foam needed to give your Corvette seats extra support and cushion to help make your Corvette interior more luxurious and enjoyable. A great way to improve comfort and drivability quickly and affordably.

This kit corrects a flaw in the original seat design that leads to premature failure of the center and bolsters.


Working slowly, it takes about 1-2 hours. The detailed instructions with photos will take you through step by step. No special skill or tools required although you will need to purchase separately a can of spray glue for upholstery foam.

Default seat rebuild kit

I purchased a kit from you and just finished installing it. I cannot believe that my seat was that bad. The seat is much firmer and sets me up where it did when new. My passenger seat has not had much use and it sat so much better than the drivers seat is why I purchased your kit. Now the drivers seat sits better than the passengers seat. thanks for producing such a easy fix for worn down seats.

If your seat is letting you down this is a quick and easy fix for it and I highly recommend getting a kit from Southern Car Parts

thanks Vincent

I used the kit in my 2001 coupe with sports seats. worked perfectly and made the seat much firmer. Super fast shipping, super directions and great seller to work with.
