hmmm explains a few things

I don't want to get into the site politics part. You probably have his phone number if you bought the cover from him. He is good about helping over the phone if you call. He has lots of experience with how to stretch his exact pattern on your exact dash. If you need the number, send me a PM and I will get it to you. I am going to get mine installed by the guy that did my upholstry work. He is going to charge me $50 for the install. Seemed like a bargin to to buy a free Saturday.

Definately lay it in the sun for a bit, that usually helps alot. Contact the seller too, he is actually good people, contrary to popular belief.

Jeebus · 08-15-2011, 11:36 AM

Bought front door covers, rear door covers and dash covers from him. Extremely difficult to install correctly and still look good, definentally not for anyone besides a experienced upholstery person to install. Ive done moderate upholstery work for years now, and they were beyond my skill level, so i had to pay to get them installed correct.

the tip my installer gave me with the dash piece, is to start in the center by the difficult area with the compound curve, start there and work out.

Rear door covers didnt even fit, so i had to pay someone to make new ones. I have no idea how to get ahold of him other than this site, so I was SOL when he got banned.

STOCKISH · 08-15-2011, 01:35 PM

What year did you tell him they were for?

Jeebus · 08-15-2011, 01:49 PM

I just showed him pictures of what the doors were, he then sent them. It appears that he sent 4 covers for front doors, instead of slightly smaller versions for the back doors like they should have been.

bluex · 08-15-2011, 09:48 PM

Well I didn't realize it was filtered on purpose. I was just trying to help him get his dash installed.....
