Credit for this mod goes to Aaron (fordman67), who pioneered the mod. This can be done casually in a afternoon, if you can find a friend to help that is a plus. We did 2 sets in a afternoon.

Things you will need:

Carpet padding: we bought 6ft of padding from the local Home Depot, it was enough to do 2 sets of seats. You will not need that much for just 1set

6 springs. (3 per seat) They come in a package of 2 that look like this.

Drill, and small drill bit, used to drill holes for new springs in the frame

Sockets, ratchet, and torx bits to remove the seat from the truck and the seat back.

Sharp scissors, or utility knife to cut the carpet padding

Start by removing the seat from the truck, being careful with the electrical connections and trim pieces.

Take the seat to a work bench and place it face down, if you have something to put down so your fabric doesn't get all dirty, that will help

Remove the trim pieces and hardware that holds the seat back on.

Remove the 4bolts that hold the track to the bottom of the seat. You may have to move the track to access the other bolts

Next, remove the 4clips that hold the cushion to the seat frame, this will separate the 2. Save the foam inside the cushion as you will be reusing it.

As you look at the seat frame, study it. Notice that Ford only put springs on the sides and not the center, this causes the seat to sag and lose cushion over time. What we are going to do is drill new holes and add 3 springs, this will help restore cushion to the seat.

So with your drill,drill 3 holes in the center in line with the existing holes. This is where our new springs will go.

Also if you have springs that are about to break through their holes, you can redrill the holes right next to the original holes.

With the spring frame in place, use a screw driver or other object so you can set the new springs in place.

Next get your carpet padding and lay the frame down and trace the frame outline on the foam.

Trim the foam to fit the seat frame. After you get it trimmed, use that piece to make another so you can double layer it.

After you get both pieces cut to fit, you can begin reassembly. Lay the foam down on the frame. And then the rest of reassembly is the reverse of removal. It may take more effort to get the cushion back on the frame, but it will fit.

Notice how much more flat the seat cushion is.

After you put the track and seat back on, put it back in the truck and repeat these steps on the other seats.

And that's how you refurbish you seats.

 

Also, if your spring assembly is broken like mine was, you can repair it. This is what mine looked like and how we fixed it.

Mine was actually broken on both sides. It was in very sorry shape. Aaron said in the 3 other sets that he had done he hasn't seen a spring assembly that was in as bad of shape ads mine was.

If you can I would recommend sourcing one out of a junk yard, but if that isn't an option, this will work as well. It's still holding up after 6months.

 

That's pretty simple. Maybe someone annals it a sticky

 

Yeah it's not bad at all. Mine just took longer since the springs were in such bad shape. The po actually had my seats switched around, I'm guessing cause the spring was so bad that you would sag to one side.

That would be cool if it was a sticky!

 

Anything to fix the worn out foam?

 

Actually I add 3 springs.the frames were shorted by the factory IMO.
The foam actually squeezes through.the springs and the new carpet pad do a wonderful job to shore up the middle.obviously the outside corner isn't helped.but doing this helps immensely!!!
I have done HD foam but it is expensive.carpet pad works better and is easy to find and cheap!

 

I was just curious. I have been repairing these seats for years and now that the foam and covers are obsolete I was looking for a fix. Fixing the springs and adding the backing only goes so far

 

Fixed it Aaron. So it says 3 springs, 3 holes. I remembered that after the fact. Lol.

 

No problem buddy.I honestly had to think even after doing SO many sets.
Wish Gabe would let me fix his. I have been daily driving cClifford here for a while and my seats are just delightful. I wonder how Kevin's set is treating him...though I know mistress is not a winter vehicle.
Thanks Thomas for putting that together since I never successfully documented it properly lol

 

Nice write up Thomas! And great job on the seats Aaron!! I have sat in yours, so I know how good they feel!

 

Nice write up. And i sat in aarons too, and they are nice. Aaron i wrote down to have the 3rd off...... Dont know what all you guys have planed though.

 

Awesome Gabe!

There you go Thomas on the subject from the other night.

 

I recognize dem picherssss.
Great job on the writeup and work guys!

 

I thought they went with my phone, but they uploaded to the cloud thank goodness.

 

Cloud? Like where rain comes from?
