Help. The car is apart in the driveway as we speak. On my recently
purchased "Fully restrored Car", I noticed that the seat bottom upholstery
was baggy/unattached at the rear side (pax side). Ever the curious one, I
lifted it out to see what the ----? The rear portion of the seat pan more
or less crumbled away in a cloud of rust. After removing the padding and
upholstery, I ordered a new pan. Last nite the funny brown truck arrived
with my new shiny ($120) bottom pan from Moss. I got a bunch of little
clippie things, and adhesive too. I saw how the upholstery was attached at
the front with the little clips...no problem. But at the rear of the pan
there are five half by half inch holes,; each with a little laterally
pointing "spike" in the opening. If the points were pointing forward I
would guess I should pierce the vinyl and stretch to the the rear and up and
over. But since they point laterally, Im stumped. Forgive the length of
this.....if youve been there recently maybe the question makes sense. If
you havent, then no amount of explaination will help much, I guess. Should
I just glue the thing on the pan and hope for the best? Gotta think those
little holes and points have a well engineered purpose!? Thanks. The
newest Larry.
