My seats haven't had a full load in several years (it's a 72). The early cars had stititching on the seats, as opposed to moulded seams on the newer cars. Thus far I've had no problems with the stiching, but fear the worst. I, personally , have never encountered a product that REALLY softens the surrounding vinyl Areas, so the stitching remains usable. I worry that the first 6 months of road use will find the stitching causing the vinyl to tear.
Anyone dealing with this? Pat |

QUOTE(underthetire @ Jan 26 2011, 07:20 PM)  I'm sure there is plenty of old seats around.. Jeff, The last thing I need is another piece of crap around here. My wife's always been supportive, but I suspect she is near the end of her rope! Case in point - I bought a package of 4 yellow top injectors (which I have no use for), with all rubber pieces (new) and 4 new elbows for under $22. Could care less if theinjectors work, though chances are 50% that Witchcraft can make them work. The only thing I needed was the injector elbows (new), so the rest went into a bucet of "will sell someday". My garage and basement are so sull of mostly new parts for a 914 that isn't running (but should be) that if I brought a raggety seat here I think she may explode! She's been very supportive for well over 40 years, but if I don't get Fritz on the road soon she may have me committed. Pat |
