What did you use for stapling the rear seat back cover to the frame?
What type of staples and stapler...... I have tried various manual staplers,and staple types with no success.....
Seem the original was held in by 22 ga 3/16 wide by 5/16 crown staples.
Thanks

Thanks for the question Bob, I just winged it. I remember trying a few arrow staplers I had lying around. I may have even attempted to reuse some of the original staples. Unfortunately my main takeaway from recovering the seats is - Upholstery is hard

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I keep,hearing that message
But IMHO the $800 number I got to install my supplied,Clarks covers is just too expensive for my restoration budget..... I am pretty handy and my time is free
On top of that the expectation was that I provide all the other supplies...... Felt cotton etc if I want it replaced......

The estimate to redo both my front seats with built in seat belts and head rests was $2200.
