I have figured out the rumble seat spring issue, now I'm on to the front seat . After letting the material get good and hot in the sun I finished the bottom cushion . The bottom cushion has 13 pleats .The back cushion cover has 15 ?... I'm wondering if the cover has been made wrong or if I'm missing something on the install.It was too late in the day to call Hampton coach .any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello Jack,
I have no knowledge when it comes to upholstery, but am wondering if the seat back cushions might be wider than the seat bottom cushions by the 2 extra pleats, 1 extra each side? If that was the case, than it would all line up OK. Just guessing.

I thought the same thing but the way the cover is made it is to wide ,won't fit inside the bucket . The instructions show the seat spring being attached to the wood,then burlap and padding . The cover is to be nailed on top and stretched down and nailed at the bottom. I'll give Hampton coach a call on Monday ,
