as i said previously i have NOWcompletely cliped off all the old rings
in the bottom back seat
i have notice that in the inner bit s there is some metal cables stuck into the seat through the trim
how do i go about removing these???
and also i have notice some cracks in the foam
what glue did u guys use to glue them back ?
where you buy and how much it cost?
thanks!!!
God I'm glad you asked the question - DO NOT REMOVE THESE METAL BARS. They are what you attach you cable tied to for the centre of the seat to sit neatly. The metal bar that is in the seatcover itself, remove that and put it in the new cover in the centre. These two bars line up and you punch a hole in the set cover, behind the bar, put your cable tie through that and attach it to the bar in the seat itself.

I didnt bother fixing the cracks in the foam as the seat cover are quite a tight fit and will hold it in place.


Ask as any more question as you like.... please
:D

Anyone figure out a good way to get rid of the creases? Stretching doesn't really seem to help, you can still see the creases...

Really? Hmm, cool! That's been my only gripe so far, apart from that they look bloody fantastic.

:o there are metal ring on top in the middle.

Pull up the sides of your old trim, then look in towards the middle.
Theres some metal rings in there.

That should solve your prob.

Dear All,

I have finalized the postage process for the last seat covers today.

I guess this puts an end to this group buy.

I am glad everything went on the track, and haven’t received one bad comment.

During the process, I have learnt a lot, in terms of importing goods from overseas and having contacts to get things done quicker in the customs.

Overall, I have received 332 pms during the process from you, and sent away at least that much.

I would like to thank you again all the interest you have shown to this seat covers group buy.

Regards

Max Ungun

So, who will be the first to put their pictures up, eh? 8)
I hope you all are taking your original covers of carefully, instead of ripping them of... haha...

BTW, i had mine covers since the first group buy, and they still look great, stitching has not comeapart, or anything like that, not wearing out yet.

Hope that makes you all feel better.

For all you fitting them remember it's better to spend an extra 6 hours fitting them properly then do a sh*t job and live with it, and not ever go back to it.
