Recovering seat tonight
Brought some seat vinyl
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...ht_1718wt_1270
going to try and fit this tonight, does anyone have any tips/suggestions for me. Some say to use tack spray/glue before covering some say dont I will take pics of my steps so if it goes well it can help out other people.:D |
My tip would be to just make sure you do it in as warm an environment as you can possibly find. Makes the vinyl stretch more easily, gets the creases out and will shrink around the contours when it cools. If you fit it cold, it'll look like a wrinkly old sow's ass in warm weather!!

Howd it go?
Any piccies? |
Have a look in the mod section for details, you need a hair drier & a staple gun.

Here we are - The Result
Started with this, for some reason the plastic base was all bent and outta shape http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5690/63431983.jpg So i brought this http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7849/17032012122.jpg Took staples out and also sanded in one direction lightly to soften the seat, little more comfortable http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6069/17032012121.jpg Brought some vinyl off ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3306872920...ht_1734wt_1297 Nice stuff, using a hair dryer and a cheap staple gun that schools use for putting pictures on the wall I started at the back of the seat and it all went wrong, so whatever you do start at the front of the seat and get the curve sorted first. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/226/17032012123.jpg And ended with this, took 2 people and a long time but looks good http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4750/20032012129.jpg http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5016/20032012132.jpg |
Looks good man nice work!
|
hi, gotta say, looks really good, nice one!
might even give mine a try as the foam at the bottom of the tenere 'dip' is really starting to break down |
Yeah at �10.50 its worth a try and it has a nice texture to it
|
is it 'sticky' at all? my only concern would be that now that it is all vinyl you have no non slip stuff on there...
|
Been hot today feck and its still easy to move on, not sticky really
