Adding comfort back to hawkeye seats -guide
 

Today did something about my seats, anyone who's been I a hawk knows that the seats are no longer the nice tight supportive seat they used to be, now I could and nearly did buy jdm version 9 seats, but there wrong for the car and also have no airbags.

So what to do.

Unzip the back of the seat

Then decided to remove it altogether, battery off and unclipped, and put on my bench

You need to take the side plastics off, couple of screws and a bolt

The seat covers use the normal plastic snaps so come off easy

Now my right lower bolster was starting to compress due to getting in/out etc so looked at that too

Once you have bit off the foam can lift off, this is the bit that rubs through

So I used a low density foam to cover it.

Then set about making new bolsters

The foam layout is hd and ld foams once I was happy I permanently attached them with duct tape.

Once the bottom had been done I moved to the upper back,
This has three springs along it. You can pulley these back and stretch them, this takes the push effect out of the seat. I also did this to the base.

I ran out of big pieces of foam so got a bit of new carpet underlay for the bolster.

I traced the black parts if the seats a d installed the foam

Then from the back of the seat I added son smaller hd packing around the rib area. I also took out the middle spring

Once you've sat in it and are happy build it back up and your done
