- Watch Our Land Rover Technician Doug replace the Front Seat Covers and Cushions on a Defender 90 '94-'97 using the Exmoor Seat Retrim Kit #8983 sold here: www.roverparts.... In this how-to video, Doug presents a very thorough explanation in the step-by-step process of the recovering these seats. This retrim kit will also fit Defender 110 '93.
Definitely the ' George Clooney ' of the refurb. business. Superb clear commentary at exactly the right pace. A brilliant demonstration, full marks and give him a pay rise !
I need to do this but why did you not show the completion of the tricky bits? These are the parts that give confidence that the job is a diy task.
After some years of use, I have noticed that the seat cover causes some erosion onto the foam. I have thought of covering the foam with a plastic bag material to avoid this erosion. The erosion is not serious because often the cover wears off before the foam. I think that the plastic sheet would however spread the pull, and avoid the erosion of the foam. The cover often creases at the same location, and perhaps the plastic sheet would also avoid a crease in the same location. I am not sure whether my thinking is a sound idea. Perhaps others here could tell me more.
Nice video. Could you please tell me of this procedure applies also to a Puma defender 110 (2008) ? I think i need to replace the driver backSeat foam, and i'm a bit worry about how to do it !
NICE
Good demo but you made some simple mistakes, you didn't glue the base cover down, your headrest was backwards and work from the back when fitting the back cover it's easier! Also use some silicone spray on the foam for easy application of covers. A very easy one man job in under 15 mins I promise ;)
Can't believe you did not show the process of closing the back seat cover (the two tabs and then the two plastic strips
Now I do love the defender, but time would better be spent showing things to do with the disco 1 or 2. The defender in the states is just too rare, who is this for, 10 people.
People from outside the US warch these videos too
