How to Replace Cushions on a TR Series Bucket Seat

Quick Answer

Replace the cushions on your TR Series bucket seat when they show visible wear, flattening, or discomfort. The TR Series Alcantara-Style Replacement Cushion Set is designed as a direct fit for Trak Racer TR Series fibreglass bucket seats.

Step-by-Step Replacement Process

1. Remove the seat from the rig: Unbolt the seat from your sim rig using the appropriate Allen key or socket. Lift the seat clear and place it on a clean, padded work surface. This gives you full access to the cushion attachments. Keep the bolts and washers in a labeled container so you don't lose them.
2. Inspect the old cushion attachments: Check how the original cushions are secured. TR Series seats typically use hook-and-loop strips or clips. Note the orientation and placement before removing the old cushions. Take a photo with your phone to reference during installation.
3. Remove the old cushions: Carefully peel or unclip the old cushions from the seat shell. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the fibreglass or leave adhesive residue. If residue remains, clean it gently with a mild adhesive remover.
4. Clean the seat shell: Wipe the exposed shell with a lint-free cloth and a mild cleaner to remove dust and oils. Let it dry completely before installing the new cushions. A clean surface ensures the new cushions adhere or fit securely.
5. Fit the new cushions: Align the new TR Series replacement cushions with the seat shell, matching the orientation you noted earlier. Press firmly along the edges to secure them. If using hook-and-loop, make sure the strips align fully. Check that both sides are symmetrical before pressing down fully.
6. Reinstall the seat: Lift the seat back onto the rig and bolt it in place. Tighten to the manufacturer's torque spec, then sit in the seat to test comfort and support. Do a quick wiggle test to confirm the cushions don't shift.
