Hey Edwin, the C4 seats are definitely quite expensive to repair and or replace the seat covers with new. Sometimes the best way to go is with a new set like you mentioned.
Yep, exactly the same. I'd be willing to bet if you took the cushion off you might find the lower fiberglass seat frame bottom is cracked, possibly around the thru holes for the 13MM mount bolts.
Yep, the OEM definitely looks better. I did the passenger side off camera since it was a repeat of the driverside. For smoke or other smells, I like to use a neutral shampoo treatment of the carpet, and then follow up with some febreze or like product to eliminate any lingering odors.
My fasten seat belt light doesn't work properly, I checked in diagnostic mode and the car appears to think the seatbelt is always buckled no matter what so I'm guessing some previous owner disabled it so it didn't nag him. How should I go about getting it working again?
Hey Joburg, first thing I would check is that connector which is essentially the ground path to turn the bulb off. If it looks ok, I would start back tracing from there to check the integrity of the wiring harness.
Not that I'm aware of, but I can always put one together showing the disassembly process for the seat track to show the common failure points. Thanks for the good idea, Mako👍.
Hey man I was wondering if you could help me with my 89 trans am I just bought. It will crank but won’t start without starting fluid and it will run perfectly fine until you cut it off then it again won’t start by itself. Any ideas on what that could be?
My first thought off the top of my head would be to check the fuel pressure. Sounds like your not getting enough of a prime to the fuel rails to make the engine start. It needs a minimum of 42 PSI to start and run properly, although it will run with less pressure once it's been "jumped" with some starting fluid. Let me know how the troubleshooting goes👍.
Ok, that's a good start. Go in and check it once it stalls to see if the pressure is still holding. Is so, you'll need to start looking into the spark and injector drivers to make sure they're still operating correctly.
I have to get me one of those rachets. They make life so much easier.lol
Yes they definitely help out when your joints are barking at you after all those years of abuse😁.
Good video. I have a White/ Red LT4 6 speed. Watching from Seguin Texas
Thanks, Jim. I remember you mentioning your car in the past. Love the classic white/red combo👍.

Nice, although I can't remember which Freeman movie that line was in.
Very helpful video!
Thank you Brian
No problem, glad to do it👍.
I own a 84 c4 corvette & put new seats in my car because it was a LOT CHEAPER THAN FIX THE OLD ONE

hey man where did you order your seats? i have a 1985 it’s my first car and i’m struggling finding parts i need a new seat
Shop dog looked like a deer in the headlights!
Yep, he always managed to find a way to get in my way.
Best wishes bro 🌼
Thanks👍
I can't believe you didn't take 5 minutes to clean the carpet while you had the seat out. Slob!
Well, we can't all be as perfect as you with that luscious head of hair and that high speed aviator headset😁.
Have a great Thanksgiving👍.
@@VetteSource But you'd be a lot cooler if you could. Happy thanksgiving.
Do you have any videos of swapping seat covers on the seats?
Not yet, but I will add that to my video to do list. Thanks for the suggestion👍.
Is it the same for 89 vette, mine is a little loose.the seat 💺 rocks a little.
Yep, exactly the same. I'd be willing to bet if you took the cushion off you might find the lower fiberglass seat frame bottom is cracked, possibly around the thru holes for the 13MM mount bolts.
The new seat looks sportier. Are you changing the passenger side too? How do you remove the cigarette smoke smell from the interior?
Yep, the OEM definitely looks better. I did the passenger side off camera since it was a repeat of the driverside.
For smoke or other smells, I like to use a neutral shampoo treatment of the carpet, and then follow up with some febreze or like product to eliminate any lingering odors.
I’d take the seats off your hands. Mine are trash. I have autozone covers on mine lol.
Sure, I'd be willing to sell them. You can reach out to me by DM @ VetteSource on FB/IG
I am having trouble finding a power seat switch for my 1994
I have one. You can reach me by DM @VetteSource on FB or IG

you know if there is a video our a kit on rebuild the power seat track?
Not that I'm aware of, but I can always put one together showing the disassembly process for the seat track to show the common failure points. Thanks for the good idea, Mako👍.
curious my man, would these seats interchange with the Formula?
Hey Scott, you could theoretically make these fit, but they are taller than the 3rd gen seats and the mounting holes are in different locations.

That’s actually one of the first things we checked and it was at 44 or 45 with the key on and running.
