It's much more cost effective to redo the foam this way, then you get to keep the original seat 
The pain-in-the-ass part is taking of all those round hooks the hold the cover on and, even worse, putting them back on again. I don't have the tool for either.
AHA! As I was typing and helping one of my friends over the phone, I found this tutorial:
http://www.fourwheeler.com/howto/51159/
It doesn't show how to cut the foam, but it gives you a full howto on repairing your old truck seat. Nice!! |
You were asking for suggestions.... If you allready knew the cheapest route, why did you ask?
Edit: Thanks for the info on gluing seperate foams together. I did not know that could be done successfully. I still have to recover my seat and might use that tip.
