Cure for sagging original seats?

Fairview · Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:34 pm Post subject: Cure for sagging original seats?

Hi folks,

It has been a while since I've posted, got sidetracked by a couple other projects.

The front seats in our 62 Ghia convertible are original, and surprisingly intact. However, the horsehair(?) and springs are a bit saggy. Are there any tricks I can use to lessen the sagging without running the risk of destroying the original seat covers?

Thanks very much, Jeff

i have heard of people stuffing the springs with cones cut out of high density foam, this should give you your spring life back. only thing i can think of
