Space invaders £9.99 Argos bed sheet ! Have loads left over and get a pillow case

Works out cheapest to get a bed sheet because you cut it in half to use what was a double side'd sheet as it had the battern on both sides


I used the wickes glue as mentioned above , but on a really hot day it just went tacky again and dropped , so took the staple gun out and showed it who's boss man

Did you coat both sides and let it go tacky/dry before sticking it down?

Never had a problem with mine. Very strong glue

thats exactly how i want it, wen u covered your pillars, is it just material spray glue u used or did u have to rub the pillars down so it sticks better ? and how did you go about cutting the mid section the the middle pillar where the seat adjuster is ?

Can't remember the glue but the nick name is fishy glue.

I just cut the inside out, left about an inch and folded/cut it and pushed it behind this was then coated in glue and silicon to make sure it doesn't come off.

Strip the foam off! The foam drying up is the reason the material starts to sag in the first place!

I used this stuff, very good stuff and not messy.

Order 2 cans and you'll have plenty, also, when choosing your material don't go for something to thick as you struggle to get it into all the nooks and crannies like me with my leatherette! You'll only end up ruining your headlining if you go for something to thick.
