Seat replacement covers

Post by benfox1515 »

Hi guys,

bought myself some custom made seat covers that are made to replace the old seat covers. Will have then delivered on Tuesday, anyone ever do this themselves and any tips for when I am doing it!? I will be using a spray adhesive.

When you remove the old cover check the condition of the wadding, this is what gives the seat its firmness and comfort. Whats the adhesive for, any seats I dismanteled used clips and springs.Which type seat is it?

It's says on the instructions I got with them to put glue in te centre of the seat! You reckon there's no need to just the clips will do!? Not too sure what you would call the seats but they are the type which have no headrests.
