RE: 63 Polara interior refit

["Robert (UK)" <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan

We've used new foam in both front & rear seats. The front covers (the 
back-rest) are tight because there is 2" less vinyl in that back 
section, compared to the original covers (ie 2" shorter).
I'm surprised how well they fit considering that discrepancy. The 
stitching looks like it's a bit more stretched than it should be, and 
the join between the top of the seat-back and the top of the rear panel 
also looks a bit stretched, with a bit more of a gap than there used to 
be.

I'll check the windlace before we start thinking of trimming the U-jamb 
seals.

Thanks
