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 |

Okay Pat, just thought I'd suggest another way to do it, that doesn't put you directly in the enviro liability line of fire, but understand your concerns. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I've spent over 40 years in the development industry dealing with it, so understand the difficulties. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) PS - Thanx for taking a run at it for all of us too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Sounds like you did a lot of work on it already before stopping. |
