most underrated ASMR, never heard of it, but i own a e30, so its nice to see how to change the front seats.

neat trick with the headrests. doing them without vacuum sucks bad.

Hello im from Indonesian 🎉🎉🎉 yours the best

Hate the headrest guides with the plastic washer/ Christmas tree profile, they brake if you dont heat the crap out of them(and still sometimes do). The older CSI has to have them inserted in perfectly or it distorts the leather and if they brake your screwed. Ive always been curious why aftermarket manufacturers dont cut the headrest holes? To me it would be easier/ faster to have the cut patterned in but maybe im missing something? Great install!

[@LeatherSeats]

Thanks for the comment! Great point on the plastic washers. Old plastic parts are more at risk of breaking, and we find that it can help to pre-steam the plastics to soften them, but as you said, sometimes it's unavoidable. We don't pre-cut most headrest post holes since it takes away the installer's ability to choose the final positioning of the cover before installing, and it really doesn't add much time or difficulty for the installer to cut them. Many times, with older seats where the foam has developed "character," it is difficult to predict where the new holes will actually sit. You may need to manipulate a cover one way or another to get optimal final fitment, and pre-cutting a hole takes away that flexibility.

what was that red spray you applied at 4:53? adhesive?

[@LeatherSeats]

This is DAP Weldwood Landau top and trim contact adhesive!

[@tylersometimes]

nice! im guessing its used a stiffer/permanent adhesive for foam restructuring? I would've never thought to fix that part of the seat upon reassembly

Great job! What an overly complicated mess BMW designed for those seats.

[@LeatherSeats]

Agreed, this is definitely one of the more engineered seats that we've worked with. Thanks for watching!

BMW Is an overly complicated mess as whole. I am an engineer and I will never call it a piece of engineering. They complicated thing for no known reason.
