What happens here

Take the new leather seat covers and use a steam device (or heat gun on low setting) to gently warm and soften the leather. This makes the material more pliable and easier to stretch over the foam cushions, reducing wrinkles and ensuring a smoother fit. Once softened, carefully slide the new leather cover over the foam insert. The covers are designed to be clipped onto the seat frame, similar to the original cloth covers. Once positioned, clip them securely to the frame, ensuring a tight and even application.

Goal: Apply new leather covers to the seat foam and secure them to the seat frame.
