HOW TO CLEAN, RESTORE AND MODIFY A (DISGUSTING) DRIVERS SEAT

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

We asked, you delivered! Many thanks, and it was great to see my comment requesting this content front and centre in the montage too. Loving this series, happy to follow along with all you do to this T4. 👍👍👍

[@hansdezwart4453]

Oh man, those look way cleaner than what I uncovered 😂 And yes, that cardboard strip is not machine washing resistant, I too found out. Great video, I wish I had found it before I started that project.

[@3charactersforkhandle]

My vote is sound system as you've done a fair bit of sound deadening etc. recently. Really interesting to see a budget sympathetic mod rather than something with £££s thrown at it. 👍

[@davienix]

Cheers, I’ve just ordered one from you. Really nice Clear instructions thanks. I’m still not brave enough to do it myself, so I’m getting a mechanic mate of mine to do it.😀 I’ve sent him this video hopefully it will help him.

[@mrchevbowtie4933]

Thanks good tips, much appreciated

[@BACKO7777]

Proper job👍. Sound deadening the cab next😎

[@justmestephanie1269]

Impressive how to video , sir ! You are very detailed in all the videos you post . I've learned alot from your channel , thankyou ! You make rebuilding my 84 Vanagon so much more fun . I bought seats to replace my tattered and worn out seats already , but I'm going to redo the original seats now that I've watched and learned from you today ! Thankyou for everything you do and I love the shoe endorsement skit you did , lol . Keep the videos coming ! Love your channel 💕 Watching from America ..

[@zanyzoo6767]

yes the sound deadening next please. Would be nice to follow the van from start to finish .

[@cw-01creations46]

Excellent Instructional video Leigh, Thank You. Maybe not this particular T4 but could you please show us how to remove a bulkhead in order to make a walkway into the rear of the van 👍

[@johnkirkham4226]

great job and love the link for the safety shoes, I've got mine on the way 👍would love to see the sound deadening of the cab for your next vid mate.

[@suadexshoesbrand]

Hi thanks for your supporting.

[@hughelvin5509]

excellent video thoroughly enjoyed it and I don't even have a van. stay safe H.

[@Monkeyheed78]

Just carry on with this and do anything :-), i have just bought the same van so I’m interested in your plans with this - especially the stereo upgrade

[@MegaKane84]

Love to see the stereo and speakers done

[@roym9560]

Love the T4 videos! Got one myself and everything I want to do you are covering here so that's brilliant🙂 I'd like to change my original VW stereo which isn't working properly and a bluetooth version would be ideal and maybe upgrade the speakers so would like to see that being done. Really enjoying the vids Thanks👍

[@scopex2749]

Good old 'Inca' I have that in mine love it!!

[@curtismoore4884]

Loving all the vids. So so so helpful. Digging my new cvc hat. Highly recommend it. Would love to see u (slam) the new t4 daily. Keep up the good work.

[@garrygaz1]

new sound system please. love the vids

[@waynebow-gu7wr]

Your lucky the odd armrests on the second seat matched the material on the first seat !

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Actually £175 is cheap for a good seat. Great video to watch 👍. Interested to see the cab sound deadening.

[@jamesw507]

Would love to see the suspension mods.. just thinking of using my 2003 T4 as a project so this is perfectly timed!!

[@howardtennant5766]

Big thumbs up from me the head lining next followed by the stereo upgrade please

[@mikefrost7516]

Can't wait to see this thing on Shane's plates and on Faulkners!! How low are you taking it? 4-5"? Good work mate and another really helpful video! Cheers.

[@andrewm2389]

Great video as always, can you do the suspension next? To gain the attitude you have to drop the altitude.

[@jonwetherell5214]

Nice job . Shame to throw away the old seats metal work as they could be useful. Headliner next then added security ( upgrading locks, alarm, tracker) before putting in new sound system please. Stay safe

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Spoiler alert, I didnt throw them away ;)

I’ve refurbished several T4 seats, one niggle though, we shouldn’t attempt to wash the squab cover in a machine as the retaining cardboard strip will fall apart. I use a plastic strip which you can buy on a roll from AS Trim (not affiliated, just a company I use and trust). This strip must be sewed in place again though and you’ll need an industrial machine or Me!😁. I love the shows guys, I’m often watching and revisiting just to see how it’s done

[@roadiesean]

Simon. You got contact details mate ? I’m going to need mine fixed.

[@smith12whu]

Could you maybe do a buyers guide for T4/T5 common issues and things to check and look out for when buying one?

[@TwiggsT4]

Both drivers and passenger seat are the same and interchangeable, probably the reason the seat had worn on the inside coz its been swapped with pass seat, thats what i done to mine, the collapsed drivers seat i swapped for the passenger seat, at least i'm comfy

[@timebadlyspent]

great content thanks. I found all the slow motion a bit unnecessary as it just makes the tutorials too long, but apart from that very useful. Cheers

[@ethanhall7397]

I have just brought a T5 Kombi van i would like to take the rear alto flooring out as its soaked from the roof rails leaking which i think we have fixed ( me and my partner i mean) only problem is the front carpet which was factory fitted in the front cab is stuck to the rubber alto flooring in the rear should i prise it apart of will that split any ideas as the floor underneath is soaked and under front seats where lots of wires are and while the weather is dry i want to dry it out before it starts to smell hope you can help, love V cap too

[@rcdelar5305]

There's really a video for everything :-)

[@trevorrollin5771]

Sound deadning cab please, or bulkhead removal if you are going to do that.👍

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I am about tostart.... What order should I do stuff? I don't see it in your videos.

[@CombeValleyCampers]

Give this a read ;) www.combevalleycampers.co.uk/post/day-van-conversion-guide

[@paulafletcher4314]

hi ive just bought the sound deadening and carpet. looking to buy some tools, the hex set on your link has some terrible reviews. what is the brand you use in your vids please?

[@67alibatch]

Can I ask were I can get that pry bar that you are using ?

[@J.F.K.O]

about the seat being more worn towards the middle of the car. i don't know if it's only a left hand drive thing, but every time i see a young guy in a car they always lean so much towards the middle of the car that you can't help wondering if they are constantly picking something up from the passenger floor :P Kinda like driving with stretched arms on top of the steering wheel, it must be painful in the long run :P

[@hippy3000]

Too bad you skipped the part of gluing the crack in the seat! My seat has a crack and quite some foam missing. Would've been very interested in how to restore it in some way. Beyond that, fantastic comprehensive video!

[@roadiesean]

AGREED !!!! So much slow mo on pulling them off and putting them in but the two bits of important info we all need, gluing the crack and WHAT TEMPERATURE the washing machine was on, never mentioned. Come on. This is a great vid but we need the info !

[@JonHallMusic96]

I hate these arm rests. Just broke the adjuster trying to get it off. Totally seized and ruined a perfect arm rest. So annoying

[@tat007]

What happened to the big yellow swirly brush? I was really looking forward to all the comments from the would-be 'fine art renovators guild' having a collective seizure about all the FIBRE DAMAGE!Aaaaaarrghhhh!

[@tonydalton6756]

Maybe the seat back came out of a LHD van?

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Coincidentally l done something similar on my channel yesterday but l was replacing the seat base section cover to a new one. On my t5.1 please check it out😊👍

[@petelattimer6808]

seriously you need to get some REAL workhorse vans through your doors if you think THOSE seats are dirty! ive had them where the seat cloths were LITERALLY black with dirt. they shouldve been light grey!!

[@cormacjordan7173]

Great stuff, really informative and easy to follow! I have a question for you. I have a 1995 T4 with rancid, decaying seats, particularly the drivers. Would it be possible for me to take a passenger seat apart and use the parts to assemble a drivers seat? Any advice would be much appreciated. Love the channel, keep it coming!

[@justmestephanie1269]

Why not just switch the seats from side to side ? It would be easier. The basic parts are interchangeable i believe , except where certain controls are on their designates sides . Otherwise the cushions , headrest and armrest are all the same .

[@gordonblues843]

For 175 quid I must say, I'd have expected a perfect seat. But then again, you promoted the guy's breaker's yard, so it seems a but churlish that you had to pay at all.
