Reupholstering the SC Comfort Seat in Vinyl.

[Jdub]

I will be reupholstering my SC Comfort seats, vinyl, with a set from World Upholstery I picked up at John Walker's awesome PCar Swap meet. I will use this thread to detail this work since I am not finding any writeups specific to this comparably simple work. The SC seat is straightforward and vinyl less heartbreak if I screw up.

I have all Pelican threads and internet-based instructions but I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions you might have. Best approach (heat; steam) to make the vinyl pliable and wrinkle-free. Using "slip sheets" to ease the vinyl over the foam, and what number of bullnose you used on the seat S wire frame to firm up the bottom, plus any augmentation of foam since my driver side bottom bolster is a bit compressed.

Thanks in advance I will get pics and steps written up in the coming weeks. What a great community! Pic below of the Lakewell kit I just installed - I have a few tips if you are heading in that direction so you can learn from my mistakes.

Sunlight, talcum powder and plastic bags make getting foam inserts to slide easily into small openings of stitched upholstery.

I took your excellent advice and it worked very well. Time for a shower and a cold beer.

Quick update, now finished, Coco Mats in now as well in blue fleck. Even my spouse approved so I guess I got it right? Updates on this process shortly it was quite the learning experience and I hope to help others in this procedure.
