Getting the 2017 GMC Terrian Denali ready for paint and changing airbags

[@929cbr_rr]

I've always said I would never buy a truck that had been repaired after a major accident. But Scott has changed my mind on that. I'd buy a vehicle he has rebuilt. Great workmanship.

[@bernardowens1648]

Thanks for the education on the seat covers. I've seen lots of KZbin rebuilders that just have covers resewn after replacing airbags. Now, I know why they should be replaced.

[@darinvee4980]

Dang, I was just planning to make a similar comment and ask him why he doesn't just get his mom's sewing kit out and fix that old seat cover. I know he doesn't have much time for those other KZbinrs that do that type of thing.

[@haroldbenton979]

The reason why you have to replace the seat covers after an airbag deployment is this. The panel that comes free when the bag deployed is designed to do that and if you make it to strong it may not allow the replacement airbag to deploy safely and cause injuries or death.

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

Please also understand some vehicles don't have that panel in front of the seat airbag

[@darinvee4980]

@@haroldbenton979 Ultimately, the reason you have to replace the seat cover is because it is in the manufacturer's approved repair guidelines. Doing it to manufacturer specs goes a long way in removing the repairers liability in case of a malfunction.

[@MsMrglenn]

They are reusable you have to use a different thread for sewing them up. It’s a weaker thread so it will break when the air bag explodes.

[@Beaver-be8vk]

Wow. A KZbin painter doing things the correct way. A breath of fresh air amongst a sea of trim taping hacks.

[@BrucePierson]

One thing about you Scott, you don't take any shortcuts and you always go the extra mile to do every job properly (apart from cleaning unseen dirt on windows!). I've seen other channels take shortcuts on door painting, instead of spending a few extra minutes dismantling the doors so that they can be painted correctly. No wonder your vehicles sell so quickly, people know they are getting a quality vehicle and not something done like you often find with the "someone's been here before" syndrome. I've encountered this issue myself.Have a great long weekend and look forward to seeing this Terrain finished next video. All the best from Queensland Australia. (Just joking about the dirty window).

[@terrallputnam7979]

I usually sit doors on a paint bucket. As always, Scott you do quality builds. I would say OEM but sometimes that is not a compliment. I am always impressed with the build quality.

[@BrucePierson]

Better than OEM in a lot of cases!

[@leonardvavra9493]

I would like to see the painting gnomes in action in one of your vids. All you repaired veh. look so good when done.

[@georgeyboyhowe1685]

in my 45 years of body working you are the first person i have seen to use the pop rivet trick knocking the centres out well done ell presidenty

[@oldman936]

Scott, once again I’m impressed by your quality workmanship. Keep these great videos coming. Have a great weekend!

[@bearing_aficionado]

So I guess it's no more "boring build Friday's"? Nothing boring about this channel nor its humorous host!

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Just got home from Tennessee. Missed it yesterday. Was in heavy traffic all day. Great stuff Scott. Stay safe and be well.

[@flatworm00]

I learn something new in every video...This time it was interiors. Thanks!

[@45AMT]

Thanks for showing the seat rebuild. Nobody ever shows that.

[@garybrady9531]

it's another video of what needs be done for a good outcome,some shops needs to make this required viewing for techs

[@curtismuma1931]

That was a bigger job than I thought. Wow

[@ThaMythbuster]

Very interesting to see how modern seats are put together, especially that airbag flap thingy, that's one to remember! Love the quality of your builds, no shortcuts, every clip and tab has to seat properly! Hogrings are indeed the worst. I once went to install OEM seatheaters and new foam into my 1993 BMW seats and those "coathangers" loved to tear out of the brittle fabric while trying to put the hogrings back in without hogring pliers. I ended up replacing the hogrings with small zipties. 5 years ago now, everything is still in tact, I call that a win!

[@froggy0162]

I did the zip tie trick when swapping on some leather seat covers. Hog rings were a huge pain to remove and i didn’t feel like going out to buy the special tool to refit the bastards. 15 years and 120,000kms later the seats are still perfect :)

[@GB1Channel]

I wish I’d thought of the masking tape taillight removal handle trick on a 2003 Sienna and it’s replacement, a 2013 Pilot. Genius life hack.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Always excellent work! That seat repair would do most of us in. See you next Friday!

[@realjiver2]

Speaking as a retired painter for a UK accident repair centre, the heat gun works well for removing pinstripes. You can literally heat and pull the stripe off with you fingers at the same time. If it is difficult to start lifting the pistripe, just use a plastic filler spreader.

[@andrewbetschman3175]

@vehcor happy Easter if you are a man of faith.

[@scofab]

Very nice to see you doing such a thorough job, every time. Thanks again.

[@patrickreynolds801]

Great update. You make it look easy.

[@powerman1955]

Thanks for showing the work on the seat, that was interesting. I have permanent holes in my fingers from those damn hog rings.

[@dspatchin]

Never knew that much technology was in a seat!

[@richmelillo9637]

Another MASTER resurrection from you Scott-Happy Easter! Rich

[@tomswindler64]

Sarcasm still rules,clean finish for a clean car.just keep doing your thing.excellent video.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@lolife999]

Love the content. Especially the seat rebuild. I must be some kind of truck geek. Keep the videos coming. Especially like the 03-07 Silverados.

[@pollcrazy]

With the cost of vehicles these days , I can see this way of repair making a comeback.

[@Astrand1]

I thought it only fitting while eating my Panda Express and sitting at the Lincoln oasis on 294 in the land of rust and corruption to watch a Vehcor Friday video. 👍😁

[@robakitt4741]

Great Content! I fined it very relaxing to watch and listen. Thanks Scott!!

[@sfcjones2590]

mighty fine job Scott

[@waynegalvin4639]

Nice trick with the taillight!

[@mestupkid689]

I've hung a few panels and doors before. I've tried the jack method the jack stand method but the leg and foot method for doors is always the best method. Only door I needed a jack with was my 66 plymouth fury door. Heavy old iron nothing like today's paper thin sheet steel

[@mandymoo7406]

i put a rag on a trolley jack and then jack it up into position,much better on the back,thanks for the rear light removal tool trick ,i wont be going to your shop for one as i have a few at work already

[@michaelwebb4833]

Another great how to do it right rebuild thanks Scott

[@davemcdowell4563]

good job scott you always go the extra mile god bless

[@trirycheman]

Ah....the good old days of installing leather kits....hog rings and all. I used to do that at a Dealer here in Ohio. A good 8 hour flat rate job on a Ford Expedition back in the day

[@billbowers268]

Wow Scott must have hit the Jackpot.

[@richardchayer6597]

Hello. I'm glad things are getting better for you . You now employ a 2 sided tape nomes

[@jamessurveyor4859]

Now we know why Scott has such a flowing mane of hair. That hair dryer looked a lot like my heat gun.

[@ShopKatIndustries]

Hi Scott! I found your channel through the Olde Carr Guy, nice to make yer acquaintance!

[@vehcor]

Glad to have you with us!

[@Cartier_specialist]

GM must've redesigned their seat covers for the Escalade and similar model when they added air bags. They used to sit the whole seat on a machine that pulled a vacuum on the seat that allowed the assembly worker to slide the leather right over the frame and cushioning. It was pretty clever but I bet it was not owner or repair shop friendly.

[@thomasedwards3372]

very good job I'm learning tons. Thanks

[@chrislongbeard]

I like hog rings. On cars that are pre 1980. I've seen dealer "techs" break the plastic hooks and tear covers putting them on.

[@carguy4658]

🧐My father would have slapped me silly for wasting so much of his tape. With the detail work you are putting into it, this one will look great when you are done with it.

[@markcollins457]

I hear with all that nice weather you did A lot of fishing last summer both days.

[@rickgalla3377]

Great job on seat, sometimes there a pain in the neck, takes patience

[@billbowers268]

Good seeing you again Scott. Behaving yourself ? Doubt it !

[@johnthiel7422]

That's nice work as always!

[@robertaccorsini4663]

Happy Easter!

[@tslater1989]

It's funny. You and I are a lot alike. "People say I should do/use/switch to xxxxx". But the way I learned how to do certain things is just easier. like you using your foot to raise and lower the door. Don't get me wrong, there have been certain advances in tech/tools that make life much easier. But sometimes, a little bit of skill, know how, or elbow grease, is just more effective 🤷‍♂️. Keep on doing your thing man. It's lookin good.

[@TheJmich2001]

Thanks pal. I love this content. NJ

[@markhamze154]

I have workers who sit and do nothing all day. I would love to get some gnomes!

[@Jayf1981]

clip clip clip screw... Chevy Thunder!

[@siduramaxde]

Can you ask the painting gnomes to start their own channel. I'd like to see some of the paint work.

[@WorkingWithWimberley]

I’m editing right now… which sucks. But solid progress as usual Scott!!!

[@davemarsh9145]

Any chance the Mustang is coming back soon?

[@danfirkins6109]

Happy Easter scott

[@calholli]

It would be nice to see a breakdown of pricing for a job like this, vs the "hack' way of doing it, by just bending your B-pillar back to shape as best as you can, and just cover it all back up.

[@froggy0162]

I’d love to see Scott import a Holden Ute body shell and convert a US spec G8 to a US legal Ute :) He’d be well placed to do the firewall swap for the VIN the silly US laws require you ti do!

[@DonRRicks]

Scott, does the decal/stripe eraser damage the paint. I bought a pneumatic one from Jeggs to remove aftermarket striping the previous owner had installed on my 98 Camaro but I’ve been holding off using it.

[@seanhorton3811]

With all those gnomes on staff, your food budget must be insane. Would expect to see the pizza delivery girl show up more often.

[@calholli]

You're the grinding gnome aren't you.. can't fool me

[@milehighkit4725]

Right on!

[@endall6783]

You can do it!!

[@sniggitty]

If I ever had any doubt about GM and GMC products, Scott has proven that these shitboxes are assembled so poorly that I would never buy one. Excellent video.

[@jerrylittle7797]

It's about time...

[@pepeshopping]

Hopefully 100% of the old used air bags work as expected. Otherwise you will be responsible for any injuries caused by any malfunction of them.

[@duaneb193]

Catching this a few days late, but I have to go there and ask - I have some of the old Hog rings and the pliers - should I send them to you for old times sake? 😆 (I learned to hate them years ago as well!)

[@garysimonson9593]

I'd like to have Scott do a build for me, but he'd have to agree to clean the bottom of that door glass before reassembly.

[@anan0moose]

If the windows are pretty dirty, does that mean that they would be less attractive clean?

[@davidruffjr6045]

Nice video sir 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BDKennels]

Removing that taillight with tape is a great tip. Thanks!

[@wayne9518]

Do you buy your razor blades pre-dulled or is there a razor gnome that comes in at night and dulls them for you?😊

[@mikeoxbig4705]

Scott, I was thinking of getting my wife a vehicle and with the prices of new vehicles through the roof, well, I was wondering if you had an "in the pile" vehicle for sale?

[@ToriL97]

is there any way to repair an air bag seat bolster or is replacing the only option? My mom's 2010 suburban has a split seam on the driver outer bolster and i dunno what our options are for repair or replace

[@Motovader72]

I miss boring build Friday.

[@randyratcliff8790]

Lookin good 👍

[@irongoatrocky2343]

I'm surprised that Scott's Terrain Emporium does not have a window switch just kicking around for the doors, so you don't have to do a balancing act with the whole damned panel!

[@htimsid]

That seat is more complex than my entire car.

[@stevemccormick4938]

What happened to the "I want to learn how to do this" gnome?

[@michaelhartloff3833]

Is Mr spotty on vacation

[@whatsoutthere6822]

How do you remove the tape from the molding? I did it once by spreading peanut butter on it and letting it set overnight. It wiped right off after.

[@burtbacarach5034]

If you use that heat gun as a hair dryer no wonder you don't need a hair dryer!Looking forward to the next project.....Mustang maybe????

[@kenriches7403]

Thx for the vid.

[@handaferguson]

Great Job!!! Thank You… :-)

[@EReznok]

Where's Mr. Spotty been? It is still Mister right?

[@davidp2888]

You must have a lot of gnomes. Scott’s Gnome Emporium?

[@Hugo_Overthere]

I looked around, but couldn't find my painting room.

[@xavierxi9348]

The irony: better lighting but we don't get to see it!

[@lailametwaly2317]

Hello, is this car for sale, and if it is for sale, how much is it? Thank you

[@dmascorro76]

hog rings were indeed horrible, but did they hold better than velcro? my 2012 nissan altima still has hog rings. cool story bro.

[@normanfillmore3490]

Hog rings suck! I gave up on them and just use zip ties whenever i mess with seat covers. I have not had the pleasure of working on a seat that doesn’t use at least some hog rings.

[@davidalzamora3745]

How many times did you say "Nomes" in this video...

[@acoow]

You should trade in those gnomes for house elves.

[@kimkramer5773]

Da Best

[@bongoms]

I love boring build friday :D

[@cadman10000]

I though hog rings were what a PFC used to secure a marriage to dependapotamus.

[@1chish]

My OCD needs to know what the two loose nuts @28:20 were for .... Not me you understand just my OCD... 🙄

[@mackboss2189]

So who knows the youtuber that started the "Click" .

[@whyarentumadbro]

How come you don't say "boring build Friday" anymore?
