Now, if that had been a one-peice vinyl seat (like the Mesingers) you would be in some trouble!

it might take a few seats or tries to get it right but after the second seat I have no problem with them. Once you develop your technique in stretching the leather or vinyl its easy from there

That looks like a Mesinger, Is it? As was said, do it yourself! I have done a few now, its kinda fun. If you want someone in Torrance who does them well with the original stamp, let me know.

I mean the Mesingers and Troxels that are one peice, heat treated, molded in shape, vinyl.

never had anything to heat them with but I do now

thanks
