I thought I would share my experience with my driver's seat cushion and cover. I bought both of them from Genos. The cushion is their "high density" cushion and direct replacement cover.
Both were super nice quality and replacement was super simple with their directions. 4 Phillips screws for the lever and plastic trim piece, 4 bolts for the seat cushion (10mm socket and combination wrench). Hog ring pliers would have been helpful, but 2 pairs of needle nose pilliers and a pair of slip joint plies, a little bit of muscle, and done!!
One thing I found was that 2 of the springs we're disconnected and that allowed the front cross rod to slide inboard and cut a slot in the middle seat. I slid it back, hooked up the springs and tacked the end pieces together with my MIG welder.
It came out super nice but, there were a couple of things I did not like. The first is that after I fixed the springs and put in the new foam I sit WAY higher than I used to. Mind you I'm 6'3" tall and tend to sit very upright. My head is now almost touching the ceiling. The second is that the new foam is much firmer than the old one. One reason is that the old one is 20 years old and the second is that it's firmer foam.
I could probably live with the seat height issue, after putting some miles on it, I was used to it. However the super firmness of the cushion pushes on the bottom of my thighs and makes my legs fall asleep. I was hoping it would settle down and break in but...... I could not stand it anymore more.
So, I pulled it apart again and replaced the new cushion with the old one (which as it turns out was not horrible, the 2 springs we're really the big problem), put the new seat cover on it and threw it back together. It rides better and my legs don't fall asleep any more. I'm sure in a few more years the cushion is going to become an issue but I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
HTH's someone.
