New Green velour and vinyl seat installed


Fellow Green Guys, I finally got my seat redone in what is supposed to be the correct vinyl and cloth materials. Pre made from the Autoupholsteryguys.com .It has the correct vinyl band across the top and down the middle and the correct Pleat width. Came in a box with hog rings, etc to be installed on the seat frame. I also got a new foam seat bottom as per the previous post above and can’t believe what a difference that cushion made. My foam was basically mush.....The fabric is a little shiny for my taste but probably period correct. Since, I live in Texas I decided to do the cloth surface instead of the vinyl even though it is not the basic Custom interior. Too hot.

Seat cover




That bench cover looks good Glenn, how much did you pay for it?
Anyone have seen or have low bucket seat covers all vinyl like this ones? (Not my truck)

I have that console. removed it from a early 90's Bronco. The seats were gone already. I found it at a local LKQ and paid 20.00. Mine is tan, I repainted it black with plastic paint, looks nice.

Seat upholstery cost

I paid $330 for the prepaid green seat, with the hog rings, pliers, etc. Scored the foam pad from USA 1 for $200, much less than others. Took about 3 weeks to come in. That includes all the shipping which must have been considerable, especially on that cushion, about 5’ foot wide in the box.

When you say "foam seat bottom", what do you mean by this?

Did you replace the entire 1 foot thick piece of foam for the bottom of the seat? If so, where did you get it from and how hard was it to remove old and replace with new? Never heard of this being done before.

Yes, replaced that entire mushy foam piece.!!!From USA 1 interiors for $200. Not unite 12” thick....The entire bottom seat has to be taken off. Had my upholstery guy do it with the new seat material being installed. You Might be able to undo the hog rings on the front or rear of the bottom seat , lift it up , fold it forward , lift out the old piece, and and then redo the hog rings. Well worth it for me, still relatively soft by modern standards but much better.

Anyone seen vinyl and velour

My front seat has green vinyl skirt with bright green velour insert. I have been told my seat is a fake but I like the color combinations. I haven't found a company that has that combination. Also my truck was repainted the same color combinations. The local upholstery shop.says it is impossible to duplicate. Don't know how to fix the problem. Have a good day

Something may be "Fake" but if your seat looks like mine, it's real

If you go up to my post from a few months ago, you can see my new Vinyl and Velour green seat which is authentic . Ranger late series seat. I put the information on where I purchased it on my post as well, but if you need it, I'll re-post. Also suggest you replace your solid foam bottom cushion while you have your upholstery guy install the kit. Not easy to be Green......
