    Ordered the kit from Amazon and it took about 45 minutes to sew up the arm rest on our 2013 Explorer. It looks so much better! Thank You!

    I ordered the needles and thread online last year. I just got around to sewing my 2014 Explorer armrest today. Thank you very much. It looks very good. I don’t think anyone could tell it was stitched.

    I just bought a used explorer with 2 giant broken in the arm rest (and used it as a negotiating point) because your video gave me the confidence to do it myself. Thanks for the help!!

    FORD should be ashamed of such a lousy design. My 2015 Explorer Sport has always been garaged, only 42K miles, and already has vinyl splitting along this weak point!

    • @SC-xk6uk
      @SC-xk6uk  2 роки тому +1

      I like the Explorer, but the interior is not holding up at all. Inside the armrest all the foams are deteriorating. The third row seats stitching are coming apart. I posted a video on how to fix the rack and pinion bushings because Ford don't sell the bushings and they want you to buy the whole rack and pinion which is rediculous.

      I’m not sure, but there should be a little clip in the seat where the armrest attached to and you have to push it down to pull the armrest out.

    Search for the same thing on eBay for less total price. The shipping bumps the price up on Amazon.
