I'm in the process of replacing the backpad upholstery with a kit from 914 rubber.
The first step to installation is stapling the inner seam under the padding. I hit a snag right away as my backpad is weak at the top of the area and the staples won't hold. My original thought was to compress this area together and reinforce the back with fiberglass cloth and resin, but questioned weather the staples would go through the fiberglass. I wanted to check with the braintrust here before proceeding. Any suggestions from someone who has encountered this problem? Thanks!    |
