Very nice! Sounds like that was a hellova lot easier than the front DS..!

What are you using to steam it? I have a machine I bought to take down wallpaper at my old house, and was considering trying that on a cover I acquired from a member here. Need to take out some wrinkles..
PurSteam steamer from Amazon. It has an extension that’s flexible as well as several other attachments.

And after waiting for the 5/32" staples to arrive, they don't fit the Harbor Freight stapler, it seems the only staples that fit that are Harbor Freight staples. So it's going back. I ordered a Fasco 7c staple gun from Amazon. It will be here tomorrow and it will fit the staples. It's half the price of the Senco. It's another $70 over the HF one but it's quality. And I can always return it after I use it if I decide to but I'll probably keep it. You can never have too many tools.

Worked a bit late and finished the driver rear. It’s got a few wrinkles that I’m gonna work on but it’s pretty good. I might be able to get the steamer in a couple places or at least relax the leather by hitting it from outside.

I calmed down and tore the damn thing apart. I can buy a used base for about $80. And I can get an OEM brushed metal cup holder insert for about $200 new. I have new leather for the lid. The rest can be painted. I’m hoping for a complete refund from LKQ.
