So I’ve been using it ever since. It also aids in sliding the seat back cover on. Some videos on installing seat covers will say to use plastic, to help the cover slide down over the foam. But then it’s a pain to try and get that plastic pulled back out. I have actually had several seats that I have stripped down for restoration, and they had been recovered at one time and found the plastic still under the cover, they just left it there, lol.
That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Just finished up a set of Blue Velour Deluxe seats for a Crew Cab. These will be staying local, so they will be picked up.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered

Did a little road trip to Indiana, to meet for the Black Velour seat in the above post.
Came home with 3 cores seats. Got the all stripped down for restoration. I did take the Medallions off the Mystic seat and got them all cleaned up.
