leather install help needed quote:

Hey guys, Im finnaly installing the rest of the leather thats been chilling in my garage for like 3 months..Anyways..

I installed the lower part of the back seat and I have all this extra leather gathered, as if it wasnt stretched properly. I cant even feel my hands from all the stretching.

Does someone maybe happen to have some sort of instructions on installing the leather properly?

Any help you be apreciated.
Thanks!

 

Its pretty straight forward. Just remember where all the original hog rings are supposed to be. The only hard part for me (stretching wise) was the rear armrest. That thing wouldn't go on at all. Did you get the leatherseats.com seats? If you put the hog rings on at all the right places, there shouldn't be too much gathered leather.

 

Yes, I put them in all the right places, But I read somewhere that you are suppose to spray some glue on the foam and heat up the leather?

can you elaborate on this a little more?
Thanks

 

I have no idea. I guess my install was easier because I did mine with a friend that has an upholstery shop and all the right tools.

 

Well i just helped a friend of mine put leather in his Toyota Thundra and the leather looked like it was loose. He is not happy with it and i dont know what is wrong with it. the 2 front seats and the rear bucket seat look like they are baggy.

 

thats exactly my problem...It looks ok but baggy, i cant post pics...

 

Maybe you can add more foam.

 

your suppose to use spray adhesive (3m works good & you can buy it @ walmart)...that should take care of it looking baggy

i know this b/c the guy who did my car used it then applied leather

 

then thats what i need to do. I have the adhesive in my garage, I just didnt know if it was this type of application to be used on.

Thanks!! =]
