The bolster on my drivers side seat was a little worse for wear, just the usual, and it bugged me every time I sat in it! So, bought a replacement bolster from capital seating, read the how to guides and........... put of doing it for about 2 months! Going by the guides it sounded like a pure pig of a job. Then last weekend I decided I was gonna get stuck into it and get it done. I'm not using the car during the winter so there was no rush if it didn't go to plan.

Got the seat out the car and began to size up my oposition.

After taking the rail of the underside I undone the hooks and removed the origional bolster.

Now luckily I had been flicking through the channels during the week and found "a car is reborn". In this episode they were re-doing the interior. This is where I got my top tip! Get the new bolster and wrap it in cling film. This way the material slides on it as oppose to gripping and making it awkward to get in. So I wrapped it with one layer of cling film and slid it into positon. Just had to work the back in with my finger so it went over the metal bar. Then it was just a case of pulling the fabric over and clipping it in place again. All back togetther and jobs a good un!!!!

TheBooosh...! here did mine. was a quick 20minute job can't remember how he did it but I sent him that link to look at before he came to mine you could pm him and see how he did it
 
I took your advice on using cling wrap, not sure how much it helped as i didn't thinks it nearly as hard as people make it out to be. I'm a aircraft mech so maybe i'm just used to doing hard jobs. I thought the wire was the easy part btw. Just a fyi, reach in after and remove the cling wrap, i didn't at first and could hear it as i squeezed the bolster. Thanks for the tips....i should have done this months ago!
