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.

Do I still have to get new seats foam pads if I buy this kits to rebuild my seat? I am thinking about getting some new seat covers for the car

Trying to spend my money...can you answer the above questions?

Narco944

Vendor has just posted in other threads. I'm assuming he's not interested in making any sales. Geez

Yes it does either seat because the lower pad and frame are the same. I did these on my 99 sport seats and it made a world of difference.

Is it all new oem style padding cut outs or just foam layers to wrap them in?

Narco944

I don't feel good about ordering from a company that can't respond to customers

Narco944

Sometimes vendors don't get to check all their thread as they are often vendors on alot of sites. Try calling them. SCP is good vendor to deal with.

Narco944

We PMd back and forth and they still didn't get back with me.

Its so much better to pick up the phone and call us, or email us. We don't always have time to look at the forum, but always return emails and calls.

guys...I just wanted to reach out to my c5 brothers and let them know I just installed this kit on my corvette c6 (and the kit I believe is the same for both c5 and C6 according to the instructions anyway) and this kit rocks!

Really didn't realize how much benefit this 40 dollar kit would offer once installed...

This is like piloting a new car....The drivers seat as it is rejuvenated with this kit is amazing...

I'm very pleased and I highly recommend this kit to those wondering what they could do to improve their car...

My seat always looked great...but now it feels like a proper seat for my corvette...

Over time very slowly so its hard to tell...the seat cushion sinks into the wire of the seat frame.....this kit rectifies the situation and brings everything to new heights of driving enjoyment.

Hope this helps those who are on the fence...this is a great kit.

Thanks
