Bucket seat back repair

[6R9Runner]

My car has bucket seats with headrests and the vinyl on one seat is torn up. What's the best way to replace the vinyl backing? The original is stapled to the fiberboard. Can I just glue the replacement on after removing the old vinyl?

You got it, glue away!

It worked, using 3M spray-on glue for vinyl. You have to spray both surfaces, then let the glue dry before pressing the vinyl to the backboard. Otherwise the vinyl wants to pull away.

I used quite a bit of that stuff when I restored my car but I had two cans malfunction and it wasn't in the nozzle never did figure it out just returned them, but its great stuff used it on the headliner also.

Funny, the EXACT same thing happened to me with a brand new can, I soaked the nozzle in acetone etc. but nothing. Didn't feel like mailing it back to McMaster Carr so i tried holding the nozzle down for a minute or so, shaking the can and it started spraying. Dumb luck. It goes on so thick you could use a paint brush.

George, this reminds me of a night at a car show a few weeks ago. This guy, a Mopar fan from down under comes around and hes telling a story, now this guy should be a stand up comedian. He gets to a part where he says we were all so pissed, then he looks at me and says, that means drunk, I responded saying I know, I speak Australian. He comes back and says, great now we have a f@cking interpreter. Probably not as funny in print had to be there
