Are these available somewhere? I have some missing and a few pulled out while I was having my seat kits installed. They hold down the edges of the seat backs and side bolsters. Has anyone found them or a better solution?
Thanks, Jsaum Attached thumbnail(s)

I haven't found them ( I looked a lot) but you can order metal upholstery tack strips eBay. You then drill holes for the rivets in the appropriate spots and then using pliers, bend back and forth until it breaks off. Each strip cost about $1 and makes about 10 tacks.
I experimented with the tacks and they break after being bent a couple times so this is the only way to reuse a fiberglass shell that has been recovered or has rusty tacks. Otherwise the tacks will break due to repeated bending. If you have a drill press it makes the repeated hole drilling much easier. Also need leather gloves since the new tacks are sharp. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metal-Tacking-10-T...3QAAOSw5dNWhWBz Attached image(s)
