Seat Foam 1986 38 yrs old
My seats look nice but when I sit in them
they're 38-year-old Foam. Any Ideas for replacement foam for these seats?

the passenger and driver bottom foam is swappable.
chances of finding a decent non smooshed pass seat bottom should be greater.
backs are not swappable, at least without more effort than I was willing to expend

Just buy new foam. That's what I did...

when I recovered mine years ago, new foam was not available for the pontiac seats with the removable head rests.
good to know the market is catching up.
did you have to remove the old foam from the metal shells and glue the new foam in?

I'm having the same problem. I can't find seat foam anywhere no upholstery shop willing to reproduce them.

Says "currently unavailable". Not sure why that is.
Classic Industries says "arriving soon"...
