Gather Your Materials

Before you start, you will need a few materials:

• Fabric

The fabric you choose should be durable, easy to clean, and match the interior of your truck.

• Upholstery Foam

The foam should be the same size as your seat, and at least two inches thick. You can find upholstery foam at most craft stores or online.

• Upholstery Adhesive Spray

This spray is used to hold the foam in place on the seat. You can find it at most craft stores or online.

• Staple Gun

You will use a staple gun to attach the fabric to the seat.

• Scissors

You will need scissors to cut the fabric and foam to size.

• Screwdriver

You will need a screwdriver to remove the seat from the truck.

Step 1: Remove the Seat from the Truck

Remove the bench seat from the truck and detach any hardware or brackets. This will make it easier to work on the seat.

Step 2: Remove the Old Fabric

Use a screwdriver to remove any staples or screws holding the old fabric in place. Carefully remove the fabric and set it aside.

Step 3: Cut the Foam

Place the foam on top of the seat and cut it to size using scissors. Use the upholstery adhesive spray to attach the foam to the seat.

Step 4: Cut the Fabric

Place the fabric on top of the foam and cut it to size, leaving enough fabric to wrap around the edges of the seat.

Step 5: Attach the Fabric

Starting at the center of the seat, use a staple gun to attach the fabric to the seat. Pull the fabric tight as you staple it in place. Work your way out from the center to the edges, making sure the fabric is smooth and wrinkle-free.
