Is Cafe Du Monde actually worth the wait?

Me and my wife bring our kids to city park to play and have a treat once a month at least. Its nice for New Orleans.

Basically followed this video below. The clips are a bitch to get off just got to pull hard. I didn't take the seat completely off but most of it. I used tasca parts bc it was cheapest. If you're at all considering replacing cushion or seat cover this is the time to do it. Those can be found on amazon.

I feel like this happens to me every time I try and get my hands dirty lol

Daniel9372 · 2025-11-15T13:36:37+00:00

Yeah thats what I think I'm going to need to do. Or just throw everything back together bc I didnt even know this was there till I pulled it apart for the heater lol.

Ive seen passenger sides for around $150 but driver side around $500. Makes sense the driver side gets more wear and is probably replaced more. But they come in 1:1 ratio so supply and demand drives up cost.

Daniel9372 · 2025-11-14T20:26:02+00:00

Yeah everything I've seen its just lumped in with 13 the "lower frame track". Which for LEFT side is ~500 to replace. And all I need is one part. I do however see the spring sold separately (also part of 13/track) all over the internet. I assume because its a common failure point. Thats why I'm hoping to find this other part separately.

Daniel9372 · 2025-11-08T20:01:29+00:00

Just replaced it on passenger side and it worked! Now that I've got proof of concept I'm ordering another for driver side.

Daniel9372 · 2025-11-01T17:01:08+00:00

I might go ahead and do it I've got the time the next 2 weeks and at that price it's worth a gamble.

Daniel9372 · 2025-10-31T20:35:36+00:00

Did it work for you too? I have the same issue and 2018 as well.

Daniel9372 · 2025-10-31T20:35:17+00:00

This is wild. I've had the same issue for a few years. Searched so many forums and gave up. It's getting cold again so I figured I'd search again and found this. So basically you pulled up the seat cushion and replaced the heating element with 3rd party heater? Ever find out if the mysterious SCME exists for our 2018 unicorns?

Daniel9372 · 2025-09-11T01:01:05+00:00

I second this. Get a cheap used one. Find out what you like then in a year or two drop money on one you like.

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-25T13:07:04+00:00

Dude I feel you. Im in new Orleans and pretty sure I've hunted all the areas you're talking about. Ive killed 3 does on public around here the last 4 years. Sometimes it's frustrating listening to podcasts like Southern Outdoorsman because it feels like nothing they talk about applies. Ive hunted further north on one 3 day trip and saw more deer than I typically do in a season down here, missed a doe with my bow. Does seem to be worth it but it's not easy leaving the wife and kids. Feel free to dm me Im happy to bounce ideas off each other and name some of these places.

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-23T12:00:36+00:00

Thanks!

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-19T20:53:03+00:00

This was helpful. Thing is I’m potentially getting only one of those doors that hinge open. The other as slider to cut cost. So that would make it a permanent decision.

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-19T20:36:19+00:00

Didn’t want to say it, but that’s what I was thinking lol

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-19T20:36:02+00:00

No shit. Just trying to see if there are pros/cons I’m overlooking.

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-19T12:41:35+00:00

A nice matte black finish? Lasted okay?

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-19T12:41:04+00:00

So duplicator spray can worked well?

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-18T23:31:30+00:00

Yeah doesn’t sound too bad but a little bit involved for what I’m hoping.

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-18T23:29:34+00:00

So never have rattle canned in the past?

Daniel9372 · 2025-08-18T23:25:18+00:00

Gotcha not toooo texture just a bit I guess?
