Get a Jag instead of a Spanish car. They are much more comfortable 😃

I fixed all my seats. I took it to the upholstery shop and let Luis have at it. I saw the same diagram you have and it is wacko to figure it out. Good luck.

Oh come on! I thought that’s at least worth a groan, maybe even a titter. Has no-one heard of SEAT in America?

I have seen a SEAT car, but cannot connect the Spanish dots. Too deep or too European, way over my head.

hi, by the time i saw your request, i had done it, i just had to put it back in, which i have just finished doing.
at the moment i am very happy with it, i have been around the block and it feels good but i have a feeling i might have put to much foam rubber in it.
time will tell.
having done it, i could wright it up if you are interested, there is some things i didnt need to do and as i went along i changed my mind a few times.
i only did the base cushion

SEAT was a Spanish car manufacturer (quite well-known in Europe), until VW got their hands on them and decided to discontinue the SEAT brand and rename it as Cupra. I passed my driving test in a SEAT.
I look forward to seeing the upcoming upholstery masterclass!

Actually, for quite some time SEATs were rebadged Fiats. My Grandfather owned a SEAT 127 (identical to the Fiat 127).

Well, not quite…SEAT is a Spanish marque; the correct pronunciation of SEAT is [say-aht].

I am aware, but we Americans take pride in mispronouncing pretty much all foreign words...
