Re: 1972 Jimmy seat backs
You're welcome.
I think good prep work (clean surfaces), adhesive promoter, and clear coat will will help it look good for a long time.
I only cleaned surfaces with isopropyl alcohol then used the green color bond. It looked good initially but I I were to do it again, I would take it a step further by using adhesive promoter and clear coat to make it more durable. Some areas have not held up as well as I would have liked but I think that may have been some error on my part.
The seat backs color still look good today since they don't get exposed to much direct sunlight. The rear armrest color looks good but is peeling in a few spots. The console has significant color fade after 9 or 10 years, probably primarily UV damage.
Most modern leather seats are clear coated to prolong their life so it probably won't hurt to do the same. Just tossing it out there.
