Re: Standard seat... dreaded broken spring

Junkyard is an option, but then I'm still dealing with old springs that also might break and I would have to store the rest of the seat.

LMC is not my first choice, but as you said, only choice online.




I took some pictures of the spring just now. Big sad. Yes, I used a new piece of extra carpet from when my parents put new carpet in the house to keep the springs from cutting into the foam.

I'm going to call a couple local upholstery shops in the morning to see about getting the spring fixed and possibly the foam too.

Thanks y'all for your suggestions, I appreciate it! I'm trying to fix it this week while I'm on spring break so I can continue to daily drive the truck for the rest of the semester, but I'm also going to Gatlinburg for a couple days. I'll keep y'all updated on what happens.
