Replacing the Front Seat Bottom:
-
Remove the Existing Seat Bottom:
- Locate the screws or bolts securing the front seat bottom to the frame. These are typically found at the front and back of the seat base, underneath the seat.
- Using your screwdrivers or sockets, loosen and remove all the screws or bolts.
- Carefully lift the existing seat bottom off the frame.
-
Disconnect any wires (if applicable): In some models, there might be wires connected to the seat bottom for functionalities like seatbelt sensors. If present, gently disconnect these wires using the provided connectors. Remember the location and orientation of the connectors for reassembly later.
-
Prepare the New Seat Bottom:
- Lay the new seat bottom on a flat surface and inspect it for any damage.
- If your new seat comes with pre-drilled holes, ensure they align with the mounting points on your cart's frame.
-
Install the New Seat Bottom:
- Carefully position the new seat bottom onto the frame, aligning the mounting holes.
- Reinstall the screws or bolts you removed earlier, hand-tightening them initially.
- Once all screws/bolts are in place, use your tools to tighten them securely, but be cautious not to overtighten and damage the threads.
-
Reconnect any wires (if applicable):
- If you disconnected any wires earlier, carefully reconnect them using their designated connectors. Double-check the connections for a secure and proper fit.
-
Test and Adjust:
- Sit on the new seat bottom and ensure it feels secure and level.
- If the seat feels loose, tighten the mounting screws/bolts slightly.
- Enjoy your renewed comfort!
Additional Tips:
- While replacing the seat bottom, consider inspecting the seat frame for any rust or damage. Address any issues before installing the new seat.
- If your seat back is also worn or damaged, you can find replacement seat backs compatible with your Club Car Precedent on our website [Reliable Aftermarket Parts, Inc. www.shopreliableafter.com] for a complete seat refresh.
- When disposing of your old seat bottom, check with your local recycling center for proper disposal options.
