2004 Chevrolet SSR Seat Cushion Pad Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the front seat cushion pad and cover on 2004 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: First, remove the front seat assembly from the vehicle before starting the replacement process of the front seat cushion cover and pad. Begin by taking off the front finish panel then proceed to uninstall both the seat cushion outer trim panel along with the seat switch bezel. Begin by detaching the memory seat control module followed by the j-strip securing the back of the seat cushion cover to the frame. After that disconnect the push pins that fasten the seat cover to the frame. The bolt securing the seat belt buckle should be unscrewed followed by disconnecting the black electrical connector from the buckle and pulling the harness backward through the seat adjuster assembly. Start by removing the seat belt buckle assembly through the slot on the seat cushion cover while also taking out the push pins located on each side of the seat cushion frame. This step also includes the front j-strip release from the sequence. First disconnect the seat cushion heater electrical connector when present and remove seat cushion cover combined with pad from the frame structure. Take away the studded rings holding the cover to the pad while you remove the seat cover from the pad. Separate the heater element from the pad before pulling the heater element electrical harness to the hole within the pad. Insert the heater element electrical harness through the pad hole before placing the adhesive heater element onto the pad surface. Reinstall the seat cushion to the frame while the seat cover should be placed on the pad with hog rings attached to the rod within the seat cover. The procedure involves connecting the seat cushion heater electrical connector as you guide the seat cushion cover along the frame with a side-to-side motion then finally attaching the front j-strip. Uphold the seat cushion cover through the frame with push pins before moving the seat belt buckle assembly into the slot from the cover while tightening the bolt of the seat belt buckle to 55 n.m (41 lb ft). Pass the seat belt buckle electrical wires through the seat control mechanism before linking its electrical pins to the seat belt buckle assembly. Environmentally friendly, the last steps include securing the rear seat cover flaps with push pins while mounting the j-strip onto the seat's rear section before reattaching the memory seat control module and other components such as the seat switch bezel and front finish panel. Following all steps, simply reinstall the front seat assembly into the vehicle.
