I just did Pool Noodle repair of my sagging driver seat. THANKS A LOT TO THE FORUM AND FORUM MEMBERS WHO CONTRUBUTED TO THIS SUBJECT BEFORE. What a great feeling of driving in the repaired seat? It is like driving like KING in absolute luxury and comfort.
While repairing the seat, I found left side ZIG-ZAG spring was broken. First I thought I should get it welded and not to do pool noodle repair. But I don't want to carry heavy seat to welding place myself so I drop the idea and did the pool noodle repair. Did I do something wrong for not welding the spring? may be I will do that after few months or years when it goes bad again. I also reinforced all the pool noodle pieces with the plastic tie to the springs and frame of the seat so that it remain in the same place.
The only difficult thing was to remove the seat cover from the lower edge the seat And I damaged the lower marging cardboard that tuck under the seat frame. Although the seat cover is good condition. I am thinking of stiching some kind of elastic thread froma Joana Febric to reinforce the lower margin of the seat cover to the lower margin of the seat frame.
If you guys have any more suggestion please let me know.
Other repair that I did to my MB are-
1- Put LED bulbs it instrument cluster. Looks great but little dim. Any advice on this?
2- Changed Sun Roof relay. Sun Roof is working perfect.
Minor on going Problems--
Slight variation in idling revolution speed but no effect on egine prformance- Any idea what it is and how to fix it?
Need expert Advice-
Thinking of buying set of air tools and air compressor for DIY at home. What brand of air tool set and what capacity of air compressor are most economical and effective for us? Should I go for used one on craigslist or buy new one?
Waiting for your valuable advice and suggestion.
Once again Thanks for putting wealth of informations on the Forum for those who need help.
