More Jet Ski Seat Recovering Tips

After removing the old seat cover, setting the new cover in the sun to "relax" it, and tacking the new cover in place ..... you are ready to begin stapling the new cover to the seat.

Which type of vinyl did you use? Standard vinyl or something stretchy like allsport?

What kind of staples do you use and size? I have a gun that looks like yours

I have PWC seat that the plastic is flared out. How do I get the plastic pulled back in so it fits the hull like it should?

Thank you for the video

Dave, never thought to put it into the sun for a bit to get it to relax. We always use a steamer a few times. Might be the same idea.
One question I do have: how do you form the very back part of the seat. Seems like it has to be "pre-molded" a bit. I always seem to get wrinkles that I cannot get out going vertically. Is there a trick?

You need to get the corners tight first - this is the first place I staple temporary staples, and then work the material between the two corners to get it all tight. The BlackTip covers are usually presewn with several panels, making it "molded" to the seat. Take your time, work it and pull it, and then let it sit (the entire process should take at least 24 hours - work it, staple it, let it sit, decide if you need to redo the staples or can continue to work and staple (and then wait and let it rest in the sun)... Things like steamers and heat guns can work, but often are too intense (the smooth even heat of the sun is what you want).
