Hi, Craig and Jaime. The horsehair strips did, in fact, slide out of their pleats toward the rear of the seat. I found a strip under the seat when I pulled it out. How do you slide them back into place? Is there a proper way to remove the hog rings so that I can separate the cover completely from the springs? If I tug too hard and try to pull it through from underneath the front of the seat cover, it starts to rip. I don’t want a seat pleat with a ripped strip in my cheap heap.
