![]() Alrighty then!!
Bought said covers from aaaupholster.com. Bought one 13" and 14" as I have gaggle of them, and the 14" definitely needs recovering. They arrived quickly after shipment notification via paypal, they shipped about a week after purchase. ![]() ![]() The stitching seems to be good, but there isn't a straight seam between the two of them. A couple runs are pinched creating dimples and waves. I Here's the 13", this one didn't actually need a new cover, but it's the worst of the two. ![]() ![]() And the 14" ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe they'll relax. Anyhow, probably worth the bacon if you get a straight one, but I wouldn't know. Thoughts? |

![]() I definitely will. Just exhausted after using photobucket from my phone to post those pics. I think I need a shower beer.

![]() Also, upon closer inspection, having been stuffed in one of those white-ish plastic shipping bags, the vinyl on each shows buffing on the creases that made contact with the bag.
Might be able to get Meemaw to tear 'em up and resew the wonky bits. |

![]() Emailed the guy, sent him the pics, he says he fitted them both to armrests before shipping. Funny, because I fitted the 13" to three other armrests, and they all look like crap.
Before I return them, at cost to me plus 20% restocking fee, is there something I'm doing wrong? I left the covers in a hot Florida garage for a day or so to relax before putting them back on: No dice. I might keep the 14" because I think I can add some additional foam to help fill it out.

![]() I really did try to get the 13" cover to work. I have three medium brown and a blue cloth and vinyl 13" armrests, and they're all in excellent shape. Nice and taught.
I didn't tell the guy I was basically reviewing them on a forum, I don't think it would help. |
