You make using those hog ring pliers look so easy. Wish you’d do a close up of how to use them
Great quality products and helpful video!
Replaced the driver's side vinyl seat cover and foam on my 2006 F150. Helpful tips: There is no need to remove the seat from the truck simply unbolt the tracks from the floor and lean it back to remove the bottom frame. No need to disconnect any electrical connectors just release the clips holding the wires to the bottom of the frame and remove only the bottom frame/foam/cover assembly. No need to remove the old cover from the old foam if you are replacing the foam just remove the 2 hog rings attaching the old foam to the frame and release the cover from the frame then remove the cover and foam together. Note the new foam does not have the bottom rail to attach the foam to the frame like the original does. When installing the new parts It is much easier to install the 2 forward hog rings on the sides first before installing the hog rings for the front row instead of how it was done in the video at 14:49. Don't bother trying to bring back 15 year old foam with a steamer replace the foam with a new one, the old foam will never last as long as the new cover you're installing especially on the driver's side.
i’m gonna replace my seat covers. should i remove the old ones?
Hello, I would love to talk to you about this, I am about to replace the foam and don’t really understand got to attach the foam to the seat pan
I just replaced my 08 xlt driver's seat foam and cover. Remove the seat with the seat all the way up and more important with the seat forward. If the seat is all the way back getting to the front pan bolts is difficult. I did not have to disconnect any electrical. Just removed the pan bolts pulled the seat loose from the frame, took a picture of how and where the wiring is hung from the pan and pulled the Christmas trees wire hangers. The whole job from removing the seat to reinstalling the seat took less than an hour
My 2008 F150 Lariat has 15mm bolts holding the chair in the truck, not torx. My new foam didn't have the bottom bar for attaching to the seat pan, so I hope the clips on the cover it all in place. I can see where the entire chair wouldn't need to come out (by flipping it back and just unbolting the seat pan) but mine had several clips for wires so it was definitely easier to have it all out. Great video. Glad I found it. Keep up the good work. Added hognose pliers to my tool collection.
Thanks Jeremy!
Good video and the finished assembled seat cover and foam seat which I bought from The SeatShop fit perfectly and looked brand new. I would first check which size torx socket to use because not all Ford F150 models use a Torx 55 (mine used a T50, which necessitated an extra trip to the store). Also, make sure you use a torx socket, as shown, not an torx "L" shaped bar because sometimes, as on my truck, a couple of the torx bolts holding the seat to the truck were so tight I needed a breaker bar. The rest of the installation went well. The hog pliers can be tricky if you aren't aware that you need to hold the hog ring in the pliers by squeezing the hog pliers a bit when trying to put in the hog rings, or the rings will just fly out of the pliers. Also, be aware that the two plastic plugs that held the old seat cover to the metal on one side do not come with the new seat cover -- they will have to be reused or replaced.
I spent more time watching the video then doing the job!
Great video
Awesome! Good to hear!
A close up on exactly what is being done would be great!
Even a kid drawing of it would help
You are correct, we only had a passenger side seat at our warehouse. The installation will be the same for the drivers side, and since most of our customers are replacing the drivers bottom, that is why we titled the video as such so it will be easier to find.

Thank you, great video. Im going to buy all my seat stuff from you guys just because of this video. And any work I have in the future you guys get first shot at.
Thank you, Robert! we really appreciate your comment and feedback. Just let us know how we can help and we will be more than happy to do so.
Mach 9!? That's one fast flying' hog ring! Thumbs up for the video. Nice work.
Yes, you can take cloth covers off and replace the cloth with leather for all the seats. before you order, please give us a call. Thanks!
I have the new foam (There are no instructions to replace? It appears the seat hog rings secure the seat cover and foam?) and the leather replacement cover looks absolutely perfect!! In size and color. This is enough info to DYI, Thanks guys!!
Amazing products. I purchased my seat through them!! Thanks
Thanks so much, Douglas. We appreciate you! Glad we were able to help you out.
Great video on DIY. You guys are great. Thanks.
Thanks for the support, glad we could help you out!
Great video. Getting ready to cover both driver and passenger bottom seats. A close up would be helpful though. Thanks
Thanks for the video Guys, very helpful and informative..
Everyone else.. I just talked to these guys and they are GREAT.. Very helpful and if I lived near them I wouldn't hesitate to take my truck there to have upholstery work done!!.
Class Act
You guys saved me alot of time, thank you
Yes, you can definitely install these on an interior that was originally cloth. Just give us a call and we can go through a few simple questions about your seats. After that we will be able to determine the correct pattern for your truck and go from there.
Thanks!

they are similar but we do have a video for the 2003 expedition as well, do a search in youtube for 03-06 Ford Expedition Driver Bottom Install it will be like the 3rd video down. Thanks Brian The Seat Shop

You guys are good! Thanks and keep up the good work, Joe
Thank you for posting this great how to.. my recover went seamlessly.. pun intended 👍🏽
Glad we could help out with your seat install!
Great video guys, much appreciated for taking the time to demonstrate the install. I went to your site, looking for a replacement leather bottom and it quotes $279?! US currency to, I'm assuming, which tacks on another 30%, for us Canadian customers, + Duties, taxes, shipping and maybe even brokerage fees. 😒😒
Thanks for the compliment! Yes, for some vehicles if you're choosing the all leather option, it will be a little bit more because of the high quality of our products. So the only thing that would be added to the price of the bottom cover is shipping to Canada. If you would like to email us at sales@theseatshop.com and provide your VIN # or year, make, and model, we would be more than happy to assist you further!
Zip ties 100X easier than hog rings! Otherwise, thank you very much for this video!
I know it's an old video, but my 2008 F150 had T-50 bolts holding the seat down.
Same with my 07. T50
Nice video
Nice! Thanks guys, great vid.
Is there only one size hog ring? I'd like to get all of the materials before I remove the seat.
thank you very much, i greatly appreciate it!!
The scrubbing bubbles stuff is actually removing the dye.
Christopher, We have used Scrubbing Bubbles for around 12 years now and it does work wonders on cleaning years of grime off of seats. However if the seat cover has been re-dyed any time in the past, the scrubbing bubbles can pull the dye off the seat. We have not experienced the factory finish and dye coming off using Scubbing Bubbles. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Give us a call and we'll do whatever we can to help ya come up with a solution to fix your problem! 214-710-2565 or email us at sales@theseatshop.com and we'll be happy to help any way we can.
Looks good! I’m looking to get the set for the 2009+ Ford F-150 Lariat interior. Noticed on the website it defaults to leather with vinyl with an upgrade option to full leather. What parts vinyl on the OEM seat? The perf section?
I saw that too! My 2006 Lariat is all leather.
zip ties work well also instead of hog rings
Excellent education videos! Thank you so much. Can you get the tan vinyl cover for the seat?
Do you have any plans on doing the top install video for the 04-08 F150? I have cloth now, but I was debating on swapping it out and wanted to have an idea of the process before doing it. I'm in the DFW area and like to support local businesses.
like your work !
I have a 2006 F150 work truck and the torx bolts holding it in are T50's not T55's.
do you have the replacement cover for a crown victoria police interceptor. has the same type of seat covers.
But very good
So, what I ship my seats to you you fix them and ship them
back?
If my foam is starting to get a little worn on that drivers left side (leather covered), can I run a steamer on it while it's in the truck to puff it back up or will that not work?
Hey, Rob thanks for the question, this could be done if you had the cloth covers since they are porous but since leather and vinyl are not you will have to take your covers off to try and steam your foam. We don't know what your cushions condition looks like but usually when the foam has been worn down significantly your choices will be to repair or replace your cushion. If you would like to know more about our foam cushions please let us know what Year/Make/Model to better help you out, either way, hope this helps!
@@TheSeatShop thanks. I just got it used, it's a 2016 xl 4wd. It's just beginning to wear the foam. I'm trying to keep it in check bc my last truck (2003 xl) was torn and the foam fully wore out.
Nice video, very helpful. Thanks for sharing. But fellow DIYer, think twice before DIY, the seat pan is NOT easy to come of.
would this be the same process for a 2010 f350
I like to do my 1985 celica convertible all seats and door with dark red leather how much u charge me for
Curious to know if you have any experience with the heated leather seat bottoms on the 2017 generation expeditions? Mine seems to have some discolored areas for some reason. Not torn or broken just looks like someone heated up a couple of spots.
Hi Joseph, you can try to clean your seats with some leather cleaner or even use some scrubbing bubbles (believe it or not), to get some of those discolored spots out.
@@TheSeatShop Thanks..I will give that a shot. Funny looking couple of areas. Kinda like someone sprayed them with some black touch up or something. Weird. I bought it used. No history on it.
@@josephsierra7295 That's very interesting, please keep us updated on everything! In terms of the black spots, that could be from the heater getting too hot & leaving "heat" spots or even just a general spill on the covers. Again, keep us updated and we will do what we can to help.
What size hog rings do you use?
Any video on removing and replacing the foam seat?
Hey Robb, let me know what Year/Make/Model you were needing help with to see if we have a video on that.
@@TheSeatShop do you have a video on replacing the foam cushion on a 2004 f150 XL ?
I did purchase a replacement, but the replacement did not fit? seemed to be much larger than the original? Wonder if this is a common problem for 2004
Hey Ivan, it could be that your foam cushion is compressed quite a bit. Please give us a call or send an email to sales@theseatshop.com, and we'll get this figured out for you. This is not a common problem.
I think this is for an extended cab 2004 F-250 , and I guess the crew cab is different ?? which is what I got..
Ivan this is the F150 Video. The F250 is completely different. I don't show any purchases from you who did you order your cover from? Ours will fit perfectly the F250 is a very popular item we sell.
So, it looks like I have a 2004 F-250 Super duty Lariat extended cab. do you have a cover for that and how much ( Tan)..
Yes sir we do make everything for this truck. Best thing to do is go to theseatshop.com and you can see the cover and pricing. Thanks again
can you install these on a f150 with 20/40/20 cloth interior?
You guys do king ranch color scheme for an 06?
We have discontinued that line, as you cannot get a factory match on the material anymore. Anything you can get now will be pre-aged and a different color than the original.
My 2006 F150 Lariat Crew Cab is all leather...why is that an "upgrade"?
Hi Feyteen thanks for the comment, OEM factory seats will most likely be a combo of leather and vinyl, we say this since we rarely see a seat that is made with all leather other than the King Ranch Leather. The reason the factory makes them with leather where you sit and vinyl on the sides is that it helps with the installation since leather does not stretch. So that is why the All Leather is going to be an upgrade since no vinyl will be used when we make your seat covers
r all seats the same?
Is this installation video the same for a 2007 F150 King Ranch?
Hi Minnie, thanks for reaching out, yes for a 2007 Ford F-150 either King Ranch or Lariat sub-model will have the same installation process
@@TheSeatShop wut about arley davidson
@@ygnextfkgaming3222 thanks for reaching out, the Harley Davidson is more of a unique model since these ran for a limited time a lot of the materials used have been discontinued. Your best bet will be a local upholstery shop. Here is a link to find the nearest ones to you in our Nationwide network - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
Hello ✋
Sean Astin has gained alot of weight
I did my whole interior for $500 Less than what you wanted. Yes $500 !
Superior I doubt it !
That's great man. Thanks for the comments.
who did you find thar did it cheaper? These guyes prices are rediculous
If the foam is usually bad, why not show how to replace the foam too?
At that time we did not have the foam options available and foam work is a little harder follow since it does require practice since it is basically sculpting. Here is a link to the foam in this video - www.theseatshop.com/2004-2008-ford-f150-lariat-super-crew-driver-side-durofoam-replacement-bottom-foam-cushion-p7/20567/
Absolutely NOT a T55 to remove seat. I bought one and it's wayyyy too big. Don't know what size I actually need, but I'm going to have to go back to Menards and exchange the one I bought. Now I need to go over to Ford and find the actual size....
On my 2005 F150 Lariot the 4 seat removal bolts take a T-47, fyi...
Where do I get new hog rings?
Hello, They'd come with your order, or, you can get them at an auto parts store. We supply 3/4inch hog rings.
How about the seat backs?
Hey Jorge, currently we will only have the 2nd row options for the XL extended cab options. - www.theseatshop.com/2004-ford-f150-xl/#?valueIds=8293,10790&groupIds=3,10066&seatRowId=7&seatPositionId=12
let us know if you are talking about the 2nd row or the lean back where you rest your back?
So what about the guy who is replacing not steam cleaning the foam cushion? How do you remove and replace that foam????
is it any similar for a 2003 expedition
What size is the hog ring?
Hi there, we use 3/4 hog rings and you should be able to order some from Amazon.
I thought i finally found a seat for my truck? BUT are you kidding me $300 just for one drivers bottom? Am i reading something wrong here? 2004 super cab fx4 oem leather/ vinyl . Tell me im wrong
Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out, the reason why it is more expensive compared to our other Ford products is because of the embossed inserts in the middle. That is a very expensive material to hold which increases the price of the seat covers. But just so you know you are looking at a great time, since we are having a 4th of July Sale that will end July 8th, 2018 at midnight. Here is a link to the promo codes - www.theseatshop.com/facebook-deals/
that's not the drivers seat....
Your website is not working
Hi Michael and thanks for reaching out, sorry you are having trouble with our website. Please let us know how we can help, what Year/Make/Model are you needing help with?
@@TheSeatShop 2007 Lincoln Mark LT Gray. Driver bottom, and Passenger bottom e-mail me mpriest4me@msn.com
Also please recommend someone in Palm Springs Ca to install
can you show us the drivers seat
Hi David, thanks for reaching out, the majority of the process will be the same for the driver side. Is there something specific you are needing to know?
TheSeatShop I figured it out...thanks guys keep up the great work
Your camera man needs more to show more close but thanks anyway
t55 is way too big to remove the bolts on my 2004 f150...
Hi David, some of the bolts do vary but what we are indicating in this video is that they are held on by 4 of the same bolts usually they are T55s, sometimes the size and the type of bolt does vary depending on your specific vehicle
Where's the seat belt!
So for this make and model, the seat belt is attached to the door frame and does not come from the seat itself.
f the color match i just want the bare foam gone
your more expensive that other companies also
That's because we offer a superior product and also take the time to film these installation videos that our competitors don't care to.
