Seat Rebuild - To reuse or not reuse padding. And fixed to folding?
After watching this: I feel inspired to try and repair the foam I have. Everything that was covered and protected feels fresh, just the areas exposed to sunlight are flaky and brittle. I like the idea of stock foam and saving $300 and two weeks for delivery. Time to shop for some foam scraps... -
Seat Rebuild - To reuse or not reuse padding. And fixed to folding?
