All set!!! My seat is 23 years old and the pan s cracked up. Can't even imagine doing this without the spray glue. It came out great and the seat now fits back on the 4wheela and even clips on now! Likely from not being distorted by the old cover! Thank you so much!

Great video, also, If you have cracks or holes on the foam part of the seat, use polyurethane caulk to fill the holes or divots, then cover with thick tape, let it dry for overnight, then the seat will be even and smooth again, then use glue and marine vinyl the next day.

@kurtb32607 жыл бұрын
Don't use spray adhesive! A good trick is to use a garbage bag over the foam so vinyl can slide. Heating the vinyl is a good recommendation as it allows you to stretch tight.

that spray has directions on it. you spray both items and let them get tacky before putting together. Also never use glue on a job like that. good thing it was not made like that or you could have not reused the foam. Now if you tear the seat you will ruin the foam to replace next time. But it looks good and I hope you don't need to do it again.

To really enhance the old seat foam, fill the holes and indents with cotton balls and spray adhesive. Cover cotton ball patches with plastic wrap and more spray adhesive. Then wrap that with new 1/2” foam. Then put the seat in a garbage bag before stapling new cover on to help keep moisture out.

You should not be gluing your cover to the seat foam. Next time you want to recover you'll destroy your seat foam by tearing foam from the seat when you remove the old cover. Here's the big clue: Was your original cover glued down? No, it wasn't. If it was the cover has been replaced.
