I'm taking tomorrow off so I can get the driver's seat in my F150 fixed. I've got the 40/20/40 seat with six-way power driver's and power lumbar. The problem is that the welds have broken on one side of the support that goes across the backrest, the support that the lumbar "pad" or bladder hangs from. I'm going to strip the upholstery off the the backrest frame and take it to a welding shop to have the frame re-welded.

My question is, what tips can anybody offer on putting the pads and cover back on the frame? A guy at work said something about putting baby powder or plastic or something on either the frame or the pads, he couldn't remember for sure. He say he saw this on "Two Guys' Garage", when they were working on an Explorer.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
