The Key to Long-Lasting Booth Seats: Removing the Old Cover

Professional reupholstery hinges on a crucial, often overlooked step: removing the old vinyl cover. This seemingly simple task may seem obvious, but many don't take the time. It makes a world of difference in the longevity and quality of the finished product. While it only takes a few minutes, neglecting this step can have disastrous consequences. Here's why: 

Dry-Rotting: The Silent Enemy of Vinyl

Over time, vinyl undergoes a natural process called dry-rotting. It looses its flexibility, transforming from soft and supple to hard and brittle. This brittleness makes it incredibly prone to cracking, even under minimal pressure - like someone simply sitting on the seat, no screwdrivers or car keys required. These cracks quickly spread into large tears with jagged, sharp edges.

The New Cover's Nightmare
​
When a new, soft cover is installed over these jagged remnants, those sharp edges inevitably slice through the new cover, replicating the very tears you sought to correct. This is a guaranteed outcome, significantly shortening the lifespan of your new upholstery.
