7.  Figure 1-7 — Starting at the front of the cushion, 

roll the cover over the cushion turning it right side 

out over the cushion. Make sure to keep the seams 

aligned with the edges of the cushion. Continue 

working the seat cover over the cushion working from 

front to back checking alignment (figure 1-7B). Double 

check fit and alignment (figure 1-7C).

8.  Figure 1-8 — Place the seat top side down on a soft 

surface as to prevent damage to the new cover. Use 

an old blanket or large towel. From the bottom side of 

the seat, pull the cover tight by pushing down on the 

frame while pulling up on the edges of the cover. Turn 

the seat over and recheck alignment.

9.  Figure 1-9 — Working from the bottom of the seat 

again, thread the appropriate length retainer wire 

through seams in the all bottom edges of the seat 

cover. Cinch it tight by pulling firmly but gently on the 

ends of the wire being careful not to tear the vinyl.

10.  Starting at the center on the front edge of the seat, 

begin attaching the cover to the frame. Clamp hog 

rings around the retainer wire through the vinyl and 

through the loops in the seat frame (see figure 1-10). 

Work from the front of the seat to the back working 

both sides simultaneously.
