C2 - Seat Cover Back Install Question

[tigernut]

I've got a question on the seat cover installation. I've only found pictures online for this procedure from the Rowley Corvette website and it didn't include pictures of the seat back install.

I currently have the seat cover installed to the foam and frame via the inside seat cover rod and small "s" clips.

I then installed the outer diameter rod and small rod across the bottom of the seat cover.

When I stretch these over the seat back frame, where do I attach the clips to on the frame and which clips do I use (small "s" clip, large "s" clip or hog ring)?

Thank you.

Check out the illustrations in your Assembly Manual in UPC 1, Section "J", Seats - they show all the hog rings, clips, etc. on all the springs and wires.

Thanks John, never even thought to do that!

The drawings in there are pretty poor, but I think I have a general idea of what goes where after looking at it.

We'd love to see some photos. I'll be tackling my seatbacks in a few days.

Could anyone on this forum please take off the plastic back seat cowl and take a picture of how their seat covers are attached to the back frame?

According to the assembly manual, the bottom wire "folds" under the frame below the seat back bolt holes and attaches to the wire frame via hog rings.

This seems to be correct when I look at it.

The problem is the outer wire that runs around the top and sides of the frame.

If I strech the material around, the only wires I can seem to use are the long "s" clip wires which would attach to the frame.

But I can't tell how this wire attaches by looking at the assembly manual.

I've attached a picture of my seat back with leather cover partially installed.
