Good, concise, to-the-point video. I have the same problem with a compressed outboard driver’s seat cushion on a 2006 TJ Rubi. I’ll give this a try since it doesn’t look terribly hard to do. Thanks!
My wifes 2024 cars back seat had to be re covered under warranty due to some stitching coming undone. The dealer said the seat fasteners had to be ordered since they are considered a one-time use. They probably fasten ultra tight for safety reasons.
It's definitely still better than before I did it. The cushion does need to be replaced and there's no getting around that but it's worth steaming an old one if you can
@@ProjectBilld That is f***ng horrible, I'm sorry to hear that. I ruptured a disc once, that was my introduction to sciatic agony. I hope you can find a solution, someday.
I've gotten pretty good at managing it. In the last year I've discovered that most of my pain comes from where the left piriformis crosses the sciatic nerve, so stretching that nightly has helped quite a bit
@@ProjectBilld Yeah, hip rotators, that seems to be the boat I'm in now, too. That's how I found your video. That's good you found ways to manage it. This is my second bout with sciatic pain. My first one was caused by a ruptured disc and lasted fourteen years. The cause this time may just be my stubborn refusal to stop driving a Jeep. 😂

You're welcome! If you've already got a steamer, definitely worth a try
High strength thread lock is tough stuff on those seat bolts. Heat helps, but not an option around carpet. You got it done!!
Yeah, it's amazing how stuck that one bolt was for not being rusted
Excellent video I will give it a try thank you
Not a topic l have seen covered before, interesting to know this trick

If you have cloth seats, do you even need to remove the cover?
Not sure. Definitely worth a try before taking the covers off
Great info. Thanks.
you're welcome!
How long does steaming foam last before it returns to the original failure?
It's been a couple of years and mine still seems better than when I bought it
that's probably lock tight on those bolts. You don't want them coming out.
Hi.
Are there any other liquids in the steam?
It's just water
Can you just do this by steaming the seat while its still in the vehicle or would it not work through the material?
Don't believe it would work through leather or vinyl, worth a try with a cloth seat
Interesting,is the repair still holding up?
Somehow missed your comment. It's definitely better than before I did it but the cushion does need to be properly repaired/replaced.
How has this held up over time? still improved over the start? Or did it just revert back to being flat?

What happens if you steam the cushion without taking the cover off?
So I haven't tried it myself but it's worth a shot with cloth seats. If it's a leather seat it will just shrink the leather
Couldn't you just have steamed it without removing the seat and cover?
Through a cloth cover, possibly. Definitely worth a shot before taking off the seat cover. Steam will shrink leather so don't try it with leather
Importantly, an unevenly compressed driver's seat is TERRIBLE for your spine and can lead to serious issues like sciatica over time. 🏥
If only I hadnt had sciatica since high school lol
