02-05 Ford Explorer Driver Bottom Install Video

[@robertskinner1356]

I just finished putting seat covers on my 2003 Mercury mountaineer. I followed the video, it was easy to follow, The job turned out really good. I'm very happy. Thank you guys for making the video.

[@hassanwhite8848]

The fact that you guys were able to even remove the driver seat from the vehicle is an achievement all in itself. The wiring harness goes throw a cross member at the bottom of the seat, and renders removing the plugs nearly impossible. Without damaging your wiring harness and connections I recommend following the guide once you have removed the 4 bolts that hold the seat into position.

You guys made my day, you made that look easy although I have a feeling it's not lol, but I need to do this for my 2002 ford explorer driver's side in leather since I can't afford to pay anyone you guys made it possible for me to do it. Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us all, you saved and made this grandma a very happy gal.

Hey Nancy, we're glad we could help you out and everything worked out well! If you took any before and after pictures of your seat (and would like to show them off) feel free to email them to [e-mail]! Thanks again for your support!

Hey Thanks! I bought the bottom drivers seat cover (original) on Ebay for about $110 USD. Finally I had found a shop that agreed to install it for $175USD. Then I thought of checking youtube maybe I could do it. One thing was worried about was that my seat dosent move forward or back making it kind of hard to remove the back (closest to the door) seat bolt. So I gave it a try and really it wasn't so bad at all! It took me 2.5 hours done plus under the seat and side of the arm rest got a good cleaning. Do it yourself and save some cash.

Perfect instruction! Replaced driver seat leather on my 2004 Expedition and it was so easy we ordered one for my wife's 2004 explorer. It was a tad different so I was praying you had a vid for hers. Much thanks!!!

[@hairington]

Thank you so much SeatShop guys for this step by step video! I am so proud that my husband & I (holding the flashlight) were able to change our seat cover by ourselves!!

Have to say this was one of the best instructional videos I have seen. I feel down right empowered to fix the ugly ass seats in my "new" 2001 Explorer. Assuming this buzz doesn't wear off I will be calling for some seat covers. Thanks, great job .

[@WOODOGS]

The detail....obviously, you guys have done a few explorer seats. Other makes I am sure, but no matter, my focus is the Ford Explorer seat. I have the same. This video helped me see the detail of removing the seat covers to install heated pads for my seats. This one mental obstacle is now not a problem. I appreciate when a video really helps, and this one does. Thank you, and never to forget KZbin. Life without KZbin...not. KZbin for President !! and "TheSeatGuys" deserve the credit. C U later.

[@jogonzalez33]

Great video guys had a dude Asking 250 for the same job I learned after watching this great video! Job well done

[@noasamoa]

Awesome demo! Great clear explanations and shots of the parts and clips you will run into. I liked that this was a real-time demo without jump-cuts, because seeing where it was a bit challenging for you gave me a good understanding of what I will probably run into. Makes me feel much more confident about replacing my seat cover myself. Probably will take me longer than 16 minutes though! Thanks a lot!

This video was somewhat helpful to me during my 03 sport trac seat bottom install. I only wish I knew just how much different a standard seat is from an Eddie Bauer. I was already in too deep by the time I realized how much more difficulty there is in a Non- Eddie Bauer. I was successful in the end but would not want to have to do it again. That said, thank you for a insightful guide to changing out a seat bottom. A lot of tips and methods I couldn't have anticipated .

[@robertpetty4649]

Great video and nice teamwork. I'm going to be changing my Eddie Bauer front seat covers and heating elements very soon and this was a great tutorial.

[@itsDjENoc]

Thank you, great video guys! Was able to change the front 2 seats for my '02 Eddie Bauer after watching this video. Spot on

[@lukewang4396]

very nice video. Thank you guys.

[@judymousel2898]

Awesome video!! Thank you so much for a great instructional video. Now I need to check out the one on cleaning the top seat covers so they match.

[@KerbowJacklyn]

Great video, and awesome team work! Thanks!

[@briandennington1984]

Thanx...very similar to my wifes 2015...front clips had popped off

[@thomaskelly9046]

This is great I have the same seat 2003 ford explorer will be ordering today.

[@stpetepalm7995]

Thanks guys very helpful.

[@lizard944]

I came here to see how to remove the front seat, but you have a great kit here. My seats are getting a little worn so I'll keep this in mind when the time comes. I have a 1999 explorer and there appears to be a seatbelt rail attached to the "hump" with a Torx #40 or so screw. Does that need to be removed or will the seat slide forward and off of that rail? Thanks for posting and your hard work.

[@FleetFeet1]

Would this be the same for a 2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer?

[@TheSeatShop]

Thanks for reaching out, the installation is the same concept but it will be slightly different for installation process.

[@johngalindo4364]

I have bought both driver side and passenger side covers and cushions, installed both but the clips come loose periodically and I have to reinstall them. Do you have any suggestions?

[@guyintheshado]

Is just yanking the 2 nobs off not an option??? 03 Mercury Mountaineer thanks

[@danielaguilera2068]

What other seats from a diferent truck i can use on my 2001 ford explorer sport 2 door i want to do a seat swap

[@michaelzuro6723]

great video.

[@TheSeatShop]

Unfortunately we do not carry covers for BMW. Currently the covers that we manufacture are for Ford Chevrolet GMC Lincoln in Cadillac for their truck and SUV lines.

[@MargieM10]

Is there a way to get the side panel clip (the one towards the front) back in without removing the seat? Mine came out and it keeps popping off the lumbar and recline knobs. Thanks!

[@TheSeatShop]

Hi and sorry for the late reply, is there any way you can give us a call we are more than happy to help you out but since there could be multiple reasons why this happens it will be difficult to give you an answer without looking at it or talking to you about it. Our office number is 214-710-2565 we are open from 9AM-5PM Central time Mon-Fri

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

Do you have some for BMW??

[@awanzadahamid7397]

Plz tell me the rectification of seat Lumber ,fwd/aft and recliner mechanisim.

[@TheSeatShop]

Hi and thanks for the comment, we are sorry we do not understand what you mean by rectification of the Lumbar, do you mean how to get the lumbar back to the factory default settings? Or are you needing something else?

[@tylerclyde9458]

Any idea on a price? 130 for a leather cover is far too much but my seat is ripped and that's what I'm finding on ebay n amazon. Any ideas on a better price?

[@TheSeatShop]

We run promotions from time to time. We currently don't have one going right now. You can check on Facebook or our website for upcoming promotions.

[@anthonynash384]

​@TheSeatShop do you have a video for replacing the seat cushions themselves?

[@carloschavez1272]

Hola me interesa conprar para piloto y el copiloto, tienen forma de enviar por amazon? a mexico? y cual es el costo por favor.

[@TheSeatShop]

Hola, lamentablemente, no realizamos envíos a México en este momento.

[@TheSeatShop]

It would have to be a complete custom application. I would check with a company called littleseats. com. They probably have a seat application that would work.

[@beardguy45]

Too bad, Ford Ranger is not in the list at your store.

[@dank.7433]

Wow. Have you ever heard of a $&@ing CLOSE-UP!!!!!

You can tell they were fighting for dominance...
