C4 Corvette Design Differences: 1984-1996 Corvette Seats

[@studio-flash]

Great information. Those C4's are gorgeous. The later C4's had lovely sports seats. The ribbed effect looks so futuristic.

[@vladpootin5973]

Each seat generation is great in its own right, i personally love the original series seat, it has held up phenomenally just like the entire c4. Offers outstanding perfect balance of performance on for spirited and track driving and comfort for long cross country adventure road trips. Magnificent presentation btw

[@catboi1188]

Yeah it's a more clean sleek seat 👍

[@NORTHSTARLOGISTICSLLC]

Thank you for the videos. I'm restoring my 1992 Covette. I want stock looking but improved interior. This information will help me.

[@trip5003]

Absolutely no struggle getting in and out of a C4 . Feel's like your getting in a race car . It's the only car I know of that does not need a foot dead stop because the seat /tub as it's called , holds you in position so well and with the Seat Belt Cinch button , your locked in there . Hated the seat in my C6 .

[@catboi1188]

Hahaha you feel part of the car 👍😂

[@allenhanks7719]

Thanks. I just learned what all the buttons do on my 96

[@FirebirdDude]

Very informative as always! Great video.

[@Michael_Lorenson]

I don't know if this applies to all C4 model years, but at least in the early cars (like my '88) there is a seat belt feature that allows you to lock the lap belt down nice and tight, which obviously helps hold you in place. If you are torn between the more relaxed fit of the base seats and their easier ingress/egress, and the sport seats, this little feature might help you decide which way to go.

[@marsha821230]

Wanted to say thank you again and very pleased with the frame parts I received from you and always like watching your informational videos .

Hey I am in the process of swapping my C4 seats to a black leather power C5 seats, how to I work in the power connections, the plugs are different.

[@conehgr]

Well done

[@brianfong3954]

Well done.

[@oswegobill6886]

1986 :Will standard seat fit sport seat? By removing metal bolster from sport seat frame. Are the seat frames the same? Thanks

[@RetroCarsForever]

So what ACTUALLY was the same between 1984 and 1996? The basic frame and a few odds and ends?

[@z512345]

Too bad you didn't take the backs off the 94-96 sport seats, would have liked to see that.But great vidio, thanks.

[@stevesteve2089]

Do you sell or recover the lower seat cushions for 1996? I need them in the beige.

[@6SpeedTA95]

I was thinking the 94-96 seats sat a bit lower in the car as well??? I have zero headroom in my buddies 86 but fit ok in the 95/96 cars. He had mentioned the seats were different.

[@brutallybrutalbrutality6505]

I have a 90 with sports seats. It has bolstering lumbar and other basic movements all electric. I noticed the seats are ambidextrous, is that true or do i have two left or right side seats.

[@linfordmoore3349]

I have a C-4 87 with sport seat with all the switches, are there any companies that refurbish theses types of seats?

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

thanks for the video. I have a question about the 1996 seats. Were the original seats made of genuine leather? or were they vinyl or some other man made material? Thanks.

[@mikeyboy7515]

Hey my 1986 seat wont lean back. Its very annoying. Is there any trick to make the button work?

[@craigt5906]

My 3 favorite C4 seats are the 94-96 Sport Leather 89-93 Sport Leather 85-88 Sport Leather I also like the 94-96 Sport Leather better than any C5-C7 seat EXCePT maybe the C7 competition they’re just such a COOL loking and comfortable seat

[@Andrew-cq3hy]

I have a 94. The trim piece that goes on the back headrest where the fold forward levers are is missing. Anyone know where I could find a pair of them?

[@adonisb39]

Will the door from a 1991 door card fit a 94-96?

[@rushtk2112]

What is the most comfortable seat that can go into a 92 convertible? I know it's a sports car, I have some booboos from Iraq and am just looking for some help with the spine. Thanks!

[@flattopalpha5316]

Is there a cost effective way to replace all 4 sport controls along with good or new foam and then seat covers.

[@marknowakowski6590]

I have a 95 base model and the seats move fine on both sides but the base seat material is really stiff and kinda suck actually not comfortable at all. Actually my seats look nothing like the base seats shown here either. There hard stiff black material that even when I use leather cleaner on them they stay hard as a rock. I’m using a 3in gel pad just to get some comfort. Guess the seats were changed out with junk ones.

[@SirPierreSe]

I have a wierd problem on my 96. When i switch the DR/PS switch i can adjust the lumbarpillows as i want, bot nomather what the switch is turned to, i can only move the driver seat back/forth/up/down. The passenger seat is still. What can the problem be?

[@MirrockCorvette]

SIR_Pierre check the wiring connections under the drivers seat. Wiring signals run from the switch to the drivers seat then over to the passenger, an incorrect connection on the drivers side seat in the wiring can cause the issues you are experiencing.

[@SirPierreSe]

@@MirrockCorvette Thank you very much, ill check and see if i can see anything that doesnt look right.

[@SirPierreSe]

Hi again I have checked everything several times. And everything seems to be connected right, A-F. I can't even see any way it could be connected wrong.

[@SirPierreSe]

I still cant find the problem, could it be something under the panel / button?

[@joeburbulisjr1657]

How do you remove the seats in a1992 roadster ? Where do they un bolt?

[@kylemcneal7856]

Are seat foams swappable from year to year. I know 84-89 are all the same but 90,91,92, say if I wanted to put 90 seat foams in my 87?

[@MirrockCorvette]

For non sport cushions, yes all between 84-93 can be swapped as frames are essentially the same for those years with only differences to areas which does not effect the cushions.

[@kylemcneal7856]

@@MirrockCorvette awesome. Sadly I already ordered the bright red year appropriate seat covers for my car. My foams aren't too bad

[@dennisriddell6389]

My 1995 pass seat back will not do anything, but I can here it running. HELP

[@greatreset3]

Why no cloth versions????? WTF?

[@rocket4332]

The 1984 is the best

[@chefarnoldarvizo3891]

You guys have seats for a 92 vette?

[@tomallen6073]

No

[@seanof30306]

Great video. I wonder if you could offer me some advice. I'm 6'5" and looking for a C4. I need more headroom. In my Firebird, the solution was to swap to Fiero seat brackets. They bolted right in and lowered the seat by more than an inch. It doesn't sound like much, but it made a huge difference. If I'm looking for more headroom in a C$, am I better off with a manual or a power seat? Are there any seats that sit lower than others? Thanks

[@MirrockCorvette]

seanof30306 you would be better off with power seat tracks to start since manual tracks are at an in the middle height of what the power is adjustable to. As for stock seats the bases are all pretty much the same so there isn’t a height difference there, but the later cushions are a little bit thinner than earlier ones. For your height, a worn in used seat would help since the cushions will sink down in more on seats that are more abused.

[@seanof30306]

@@MirrockCorvette Thanks for the response. I found a thread where a guy advised taking the suspension straps out from under the seat cushion. Would you recommend that?

[@MirrockCorvette]

seanof30306 you could but that may be uncomfortable. The earlier spring style supports will sag more that the straps and a used set of those could allow for more room while still having some support in the center.

[@seanof30306]

@@MirrockCorvette Thanks. I was thinking of taking the driver's seat to an interior shop and having them make straps with more stretch to them. No one else will be driving the car but me, so I'm even thinking about direct-mounting the seat to the floor.

[@paulmoss7940]

If still looking,I have your best C4. I want a C6 cause of ingress/egress issues.

[@MCFABRICATION]

Anyone have any 95’ seats available???

[@drshortstuff4824]

do 1994 standard seats fit in a 84 or will they not? anyone know?

[@JulianWatsonThe400]

He said all C4 seats are interchangeable.

[@brobigsby]

hey this guy knows things! You can also use a drill on the cables that rub thru the tubes to move the seat side to side front to back.thats only if you dont want to spend the money right away and need to move the seat,... just a rig job..
