Thanks!

Not bad. That thread is ok, but it's not really thick enough to last. Gotta get the one with the teal colored spool.

If you're ever down my way, let me know and I'll stitch it up for you. Where'd You find those needles? Is the big one round or flat?

Also just found out some funny guy switched around my rear washer sprayer

Not sure who did it but it's kinda funny kinda annoying someone touched my truck....

got em at joanns fabric, i only took the small one out, didnt even look that close at the larger ones. 4.99 iirc.

was thinking i could re sew it as is, be a lot easier with it not being a gaping hole to start with.

I am not happy about it but it was done I have no clue who it was. None of my friends are car guys. They are either bomb techs in the military or cops haha so I have no clue who did it

Thanks!

10 of them.

Same on each side.

By the hitch.

Take a bar clamp or any woodworking clamp and squeeze the foam, that’ll give you enough material to sew it tighter...without having to do 2 things at once
Just dont sew it too close, follow same holes.

after i was back inside i was thinking them black spring paper clips would have worked well to pinch the seam shut. ill be trying a take 2 tomorrow lol

I don't pinch both ends together. I sew from one end, goijng from the inside out, to the other end, then pull both sides together.

 

[Scottydoggs]

i was thinking pinch behind so it cant come loose on me. im a noob lol

my seam didnt come open, the leather tore off the edge of the seam. so i made my own holes on the top side. tried my hardest to reuse the seams holes.

Thank you! Looks like I will have to take the bumper off like you said to get this cover off. I couldn't reach all the clips for the cover. GM can suck it for making something as small as changing the license plate bulb holder this difficult

Only if you spend the big bucks on a nice trim with the cover, lol!

On the up side, you can shoot your hitch with a coat of paint...

Yea I already hit it with some plastidip hahah

I think what I'm gonna do is get myself a harbor freight spray gun and get a pint of gm black and paint the bumper pads, bumper cover and bottom trim.... I've never use a spray gun before

Yea I saw that. That's my motivation haha

And the results can be so much better than spray paint. If I'm good at it I'll repaint my hood
