Part of my secondary duties in the Canadian Air Force, between aircraft inspection's, was safety systems, where as I repaired aircraft covers, seats and used templates to make garment bags etc. I really like how smooth your Juki with the walking foot preformed. I really enjoyed the sewing, as my grandfather was a tailor and I came by it naturally. It's not for everybody trying to match inner and outer patterns, and the day's went by so fast. I dreaded when an aircraft came into maintenance, and I had to go back to my regular job.

AIR FORCE not Air Force It is clearly written on the aircraft - You just have to learn to pay attention to detail AIR FORCE is MILITARY Air Force is what comes out of your Hair Dryer I served in tn the AIR FORCE for 30 years serving3 countries - beginning with the RAF (Bomber Command ) from 1961 - then the RAAF and two years on exchange with the USAF - flying Heavy Transport and commuter Jet. Again you failed to notice that the sewing machine brand is JUKI and not Juki Your eyes se one thing and your brain sees something entirely different. What you don't realize is that you were PROGRAMMED to be ZOMBIE. ZOMBIEs have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear. Paying attention to detail when one is in the pilots seat. So you have to re-program your brain. Learn also that all CORPORATE {legal}} names are always in the ALL CAPS iteration. Only the name of a living Soul is in Mixed Case Letters. I studied both Law and Electronics Engineering during my MILITARY service - and I cannot teach you Law in 5 minutes to explain why ALL CAPS are used and when. However you may catch on when you visit the cemetery and see How the NAME of the CORPSES is written on the stone. You will find every'body' is buried in the cemetery (Dead Centre)

Finally someone who still understands the concept of customer loyalty. Throwing in something additional for no additional charge is going to pay multiple times more that what you would make by tacking on a nominal charge for something like foam repair because people will come back and make multiple referrals because they feel you treated them beyond fairly and that you didn’t get their job and then start nickle-and-diming them simply to line your pockets. This is the kind of shop that would earn my business for life. Places that hit me with the “add-ons” never get another dollar out of me or anyone I know because it’s a “shifty” way to run a business and makes me question your integrity when you initially quoted a price and suddenly start adding to the cost. If you’re a pro you should be able to anticipate any potential extras and either build that into your initial price and warn me that it may come up on the front end. At the end of the day, throwing stuff in for free wins customer loyalty and referrals!

Richard, just found your site here and it's great... got a 92 Geo Tracker tow car that needs the exact same repair. Small back-story that you and viewers might enjoy: I retired as a Fleet Manager for Pepsi Cola and before Pepsi Corporate bought our franchise in Ventura in the 90's. We kept our vehicles a long time (now they are replaced every 5 years approx.) Anyway, we had some older cabovers that got heavy use delivering soda and the seats needed to be reupholstered frequently. Paul at Mac's Upholstery in Ventura did all our work and one morning I was sharing some stories with Paul about my time in Vietnam (1970's) and amazingly Paul had served on the USS Forestal (mid 1960's). His job ? Repairing the ejection seats on the U2's that were launched off aircraft carriers back then. I was stunned to find out that this wide winged plane was carrier launched, but indeed they were. Apparently the seats took a beating and Paul maintained them so the pilots had a "comfortable" ride during such a grueling mission and tight quarters. Thank you for your great DIY videos !

Foam backing and repair another plus. Your tutorial and explanation were perfect. Your talent and experience is amazing. Learning these types of repairs initially takes a lot of practice. I don't think I'd try this repair myself these days. Many considerations to be able to complete and deliver an OEM look back to the seat. Kudos for this interesting repair.

You will double your income. There is plenty of work out there. Just go for it! I stopped doing dealer work about 10 years ago and never looked back. Now, I get calls from dealers and the first thing they mention is that they are a dealer, knowing they should get a cheaper price. I laugh and tell them that was a big red flag. I tell them it doesn't make sense to me to do the same amount of work for half the price. I tell them I don't do dealers...

As an ASE Master Tech since 1978, SIR yellow connectors are SAE certified with a shorting bar in the plastic connector that is spring loaded to "Short" across the two inflator module metal terminals. Electrical current can NOT jump into the air bag and deploy it. If you think you really have to turn the key on, engine off, remove the negative terminal. From 1998 and newer (GM) the radio has electronic memory that is erased only with a scan tool. Volume, country, station and saved pre-sets are stored inside it. The SIR control module has capacitors that loose energy if battery is unhooked and cannot deploy inflator module after 5-8 minutes. Written material will tell you 30 minutes but they play it safe. The hook tool is sold in two lengths as a hose removal tool. Slid between a hose and inlet on a radiator, wiggle it left and right w/WD-40 and twist. The hose will free and slide off. If the air bag was on a bench, you have to work on the connector with an insulator installed under the shorting bar and takes some effort. This is a myth. Great video on a common problem, like why do the drivers door hinge pin bushings wear out first? Thanks!

Great job man! Even if I had access to a sewing machine I don't think the repair would turn out that well. I'll stick to fixing engines and suspensions! haha Enjoyed watching the process! -Glen

Hello Armando, I know what you mean, I just spent almost a week duplicating a back seat for a 1964 Ferrari 330 GT. I spent a lot of time on it, because I really wanted it to be nice for my customer. Please keep liking and watching!

Awesome watching that come together! In the beginning, my first thoughts of the reference marks were somewhat cloudy. Awesome how they made the piece take shape. Not so much in the automotive world, but in Construction, I have always been very fascinated watching the insulators make removable insulation covers for piping applications. I cheated on my upholstery job. I ended up buying the whole seat panel and have yet to replace it. Thanks for the takedown information as well. That’s what I was looking for just to get an idea of where to start! Love the content! Best of luck to you!

You are truly a rarity, at least up in Canada, over my 45 years in automotive repair industry, I have NEVER had the experience of dealing with or even knowing of such a unique highly skilled upholsterer. All the ones up here are like..."I will need to order that seat cushion and or cover panel in" I applaud you!🥇

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's great having people like you doing this job since there aren't so many workers. It looks simple but it truly isn't. People have to replace their seats spending hundreds or thousands of dollars but you help fix them.
