So I bought the 914Rubber molded plastic backpad pieces and the vinyl upholstery, with the intent of re-doing my backpad. However, I haven't been able to find any how-to videos about it. I've searched this site, and also youtube and lots of googling, too.

Any chance someone might have a link to a good video or two? If so, please post them.

I can probably figure it out by taking my existing backpad apart, but I'd much rather watch someone do it first before I dive head-first into it. These parts were too expensive to risk trashing them without doing some research first.

Thanks!
