Thread: broken spring in seat?

from what i remember my cars seat the wires were not replaceable. unless you rig a new wire. has to be thin strong wire.

i also rubber cemented a towel to the foam, (old vinyl material also works) cut/ trim to fit, this keeps the wires from slicing into your foam and killing the foam further.

if you hit the JY, look for a good foam bottom if yours is all f ed up.

With the high miles I have put on the GP's I have owned, I have had issues with breakage in the wire/spring network (that supports the bottom seat cushion).
It is always the wires that break due to the constant stress placed on them, as they have to bend to support the weight of the driver. I was never successful at replacing an individual wire and getting the whole wire network to be tight and strong enough to support the seat cushion. I always sought out replacement wires (and springs) from GP's in the junk yard, and replaced the entire wire network under the seat cushion.
I also had issues with the wires cutting into the seat cushion, rendering it less supportive of the weight of the occupant.
so, I have used the same method the Scottydoggs said above, using numerous pieces of old vinyl material between the support wires and the bottom of the seat cushion. I used an adhesive similar to gorilla glue on the vinyl to prevent it from moving around on top of the wires. This method worked well for me.
