broken YJ seat frame
 

The upper seat back seems to be broken on my 90 YJ...the head rest
portion of the seat bends back. Anybody know if I can strip the seat
cover and pads off the frame and put the stuff back on a new seat
frame? But I've looked on the web and cannot find just a replacement
seat frame.

I suppose I could maybe re-weld the frame.

Somewhere I saw that on a Wagoneer a guy had a similar problem and
when he got the seat cover off, he found out that the foam padding was
formed directly onto the frame. So to repair the frame he would have
had to tear off all the foam to get to it :-(

Anybody know what I'll find when I remove the seat cover? If the foam
is formed directly on the frame, I'd probably just save myself the
trouble and order new seats. But if I could get the frame out without
wrecking the padding, I could probably weld the frame back together
and save a bundle.

Thanks for any insight.

Rick

On my 85 the foam is formed around the frame. When you pull the cover off it
would be a real mess and maybe impossible to repair the frame with out
destroying the foam. I have 4 front seats and a rear seat for sale....cheap!
