89 seat in my 70 - How to recover it ???
Scored a nice seat from a 89 Silverado today to put in the 70, as that seems to be a popular swap. I want to recover it to match the interior, but it looks like the fabric is glued to the foam in the pleat areas. Foam is good and I dont want to wreck it, but the fabric is very dirty and really should be removed - did I just just buy another piece of junk to be added to my "learning experiences" ??????

Re: 89 seat in my 70 - How to recover it ???
I have the same seat, mines a 60/40 split and all the upholstery guys I've talked to cringe when I ask about it. You can't take the fabric off without tearing all the foam up.....have to go over the top of it....at least that's what I have been told.
Where in Iowa are you?....I grew up in Council Bluffs. |

Unfortunately, that is the case with '88 and '89 'deluxe' seats that were used in the Silverado's and Sierra SLE's. They did last a long time, but are difficult to re-cover.
