Xantia driver's seat foam base loose

Unread post by Xaccers »

I adjusted my seat and the front corner by the door of the foam I was pushing against has popped loose.
How is the foam and cloth secured?

I had a look at this problem. We popped the seat out and in the workshop we saw there is a tension cord all around the edge of the seat cover that runs in heavy stitching. The cord is pulled very tight and it pulls the cloth tightly over the frame. That is all that holds it.

The string had broke...

I managed to re-thread it a little and had to splice in some new cord and where it couldn't be threaded through the original stitching I used a few very small cable ties to attach the cord to the original stitching. Finally pulled the cord as tight as possible and it's ended up not a bad job...

I've studied the operation of a sewing machine and it is rather clever...

I know it wasn't the right place on the forum for a joke, but as the context was right, I couldn't resist!
