RE: [T3] interior resto

["Kevin Guarnotta" <kguarnotta@usa.net>]

I'd also recommend getting some thin steel rods to thread through the loop
of the cover, for the spikes to grab-this helps distribute the pull-so you
don't get a scalloping effect. BTDT.

It may have more to do with the foam cushions, I have the high back seats,
so you reuse the headrest foam, and then integrate the new foam for the
lower half...it's kind of tricky to get a nice tight looking upholstery-it
was for me anyway, it looks kind of baggy on the back rests...Now the seat
bottoms-the tricky part is getting the seat apart, and getting the edge of
the seat cover to align with the edge of the seat....

Thanks Kevin!  I bought that interior restoration video from jbugs and I've
watched it like a dozen times so hopefully i won't screw it up.  Granted it
only covers the bug but the seats are covered well and they're the same.
Just out of curiosity, where was the cut of the cover not perfect?  Was it
at the corner where the "shoulders" of the seat are or the on the side of
seat back where the cover back flap folds under to be pinned by the spikes?
Lemme know cause if there's anyway that I can learn from somebody, I'll take
advantage of it!  Thanks again!!!

Dave
