Guy Posted April 16, 2025 Report Posted April 16, 2025 Has anyone glued a new cover on fiberglass rear deck behind rear seat? Just wondering how to do it without puckering the vinyl, its contours make it a difficult job or so it appears to me.
Guy Posted April 18, 2025 Author Report Posted April 18, 2025 For lack of input and a desire to move along I went for it and it came out quite well. Weldwood contact cement worked out, it seemed to soften the vinyl and it went around contours without problem, I hope someone finds this helpful
Stacey Posted April 19, 2025 Report Posted April 19, 2025 Looks like it was built that eay, nice work.
Dwight FitzSimons Posted April 19, 2025 Report Posted April 19, 2025 Nice job. Thanks for posting. This will help others. --Dwight
Guy Posted April 20, 2025 Author Report Posted April 20, 2025 Here is more vinyl work, the wrap on seat back edge, the sail panels, and side panel.
Kodjo Posted April 29, 2025 Report Posted April 29, 2025 Hi Guy, You did a nice job with vinyl! Will you redo the seat too or have them done? I'm looking for one that can do my seats. But in Europe, this is impossible. So, now I'm trying to find an American that can make the covers that I can mount myself. I have the small, thin front seats like the early Avanti's have.
Guy Posted April 29, 2025 Author Report Posted April 29, 2025 Studebaker Int has covers available on a per order basis. I may attempt to do the back seat on my own, as far as the front I will buy a modern highback pair, being this is a restomod project Im not concerned with originality, plus cheaper than new covers and foam, plus my labor.
Kodjo Posted April 30, 2025 Report Posted April 30, 2025 Oh, year, right, did not find that before: https://www.parts123.com/parts123/dyndetail.pta?catalog=0001003a&uKeY=AADCL I'll give them a call as I have so called "saddle leather".
