About to re-cover my seats...any advice?
« on: November 25, 2010, 09:03:14 am »
I have new vinyl seat covers from   and I am going to try and install them on the seats myself.  I have the hog pliers and the staples.  I was just wondering if anyone has done this and what I might look out for...

Thanks

Warm sunny day and wax paper.  Mine came out excellent when I did it.

Same stuff I sell, except mine is cheaper.  Lay them out and when you go to fit them make sure they are straight.
