    Question Seat cover HELP !!!!!!

    I just purchased a new seat cover form Ebay, and it looks great and seams to fit. The problem i am having is that the electric staple gun i have won't penetrate the plastic! I have tryed two different ones and either works. Is there a easy way to put this cover on or a special staple gun that i need. Any suggestions would help, thanks

    When I did the seat on my Z I just used a normal hand-held manual staple gun. It worked really good for me. Go down to the hardware store and get a BIG handheld, it should work.

    Yup I bought an electric one and it didn't do squat. The handheld one I had worked better. An air operated one works the best.

    Heat the plastic seat up with a hair dryer, it will help you out alot. dont heat it enough to melt it, just enough to soften the plastic. You can also use the hairdryer to warm up your seatcover and make it more plyable.
