C5 and C6 Corvette Seat Rebuild Kit
Seat Foam and Padding Rebuild Kit for the C5 and C6 Corvette
Nothing feels better than a rebuilt seat driving down the road in your C5 or C6 Corvette. But if your vehicle is 8, 9 or even 10 years old, or more there's a pretty good chance your seats, especially your driver seat is starting to show its age. The ride is probably not as comfortable as it once was and has probably been declining over time until you know this to this all at once. So if you are on this page looking for a rebuild kit we are willing to bet your seats are long overdue.
It is no secret that the seats of the C5 & C6 have a reputation for being less than satisfactory in the area comfort and support.
Over the last year or so, a solid repair process has been developed and we want to share it with everyone. We wanted to see how it worked out in my car for a year and can say I feel its 100% better than OEM. There are two problems: The side bolsters from the factory do not have any support under them. So as you climb in/out of the seat, the outside bolster foam tears where it sits on the steel seat frame and quickly sags or goes flat. The steel wires in the center area cut into the foam and quickly cause the foam to sag and pinching around the hip area. I found this extremely uncomfortable after only 15 minutes.
This seat rebuild kit comes with all of the seat foam insert pieces necessary to provide the extra support needed to give your Corvette seats a more luxurious feel. If you want to improve the comfort of your Corvette without replacing the stock seats, this simple and affordable kit is a fantastic means by which you can do this. Easily installable at home, this kit provides the extra, high-density, strong and comfortable foam needed to give your Corvette seats extra support and cushion to help make your Corvette interior more luxurious and enjoyable. A great way to improve comfort and drivability quickly and affordably.
This kit corrects a flaw in the original seat design that leads to premature failure of the center and bolsters.
The kit includes:
-Enough material to complete 1 seat
-Upholstery grade high-density foam
-Tough, wear-resistant ballistic nylon fabric
-New, high quality, wire cover Jute Pad
-Zip ties to replace the metal hog rings
.25" thick high-density pad
-Detail step-by-step instructions
Working slowly, it takes about 1-2 hours. The detailed instructions with photos will take you thru it step by step. No special skill or tools required although you will need to purchase separately a can of spray glue for upholstery foam.

- Larry DildineDec 26, 2014, 02:06I got these for Christmas. This is one of the easiest fixes I have done on this car. It has the biggest pay off dollar for dollar of any of the things I have done. My seats were flat and hard. The foam was almost cut into ribbons on the drivers side. It took me about 3 hours total for both seats. I recomend this to anyone with flat seats looking for a fix.
