There's a lot of videos out there to show you how to tighten up the covers. Even leaving them in the hot sun helps shrink them down.

Here's a link below - they use a steamer and heat gun. Be VERY careful with a heat gun as it can damage the vinyl without a doubt.

Just watch how the wrinkles disappear. Not saying yours will be perfect, but I bet some extra work in the nicer weather will greatly improve your results even further.

Thanks for the encouragement. That's the plan, work on the wrinkles during the summer.

Chatsworth... I looked that up... I was born in Fordwich which isn't far away, My family moved to BC when I was very young so don't remember much of the area.

Ahh Fordwich.

My sons played hockey in that area a few years ago during travel hockey times...good memories. That's just outside Wingham/Wroxeter if I recall correctly...about an hour or so away. It's a small world for sure.

And yes, patience and a little extra work will certainly help smooth the wrinkles.

That steam/heat gun method shown in that video really shows how the leather snugs up.

My Audi seats are showing a bit of stretch in the seat bottoms from my fat arse...will give that a try when spring has sprung to tighten them up.

Keep us posted!
