Update on Scheel corduroy inserts.
I've had these Scheel Mann seats for many years.
I was very disappointed with their appearance when it came time to install them.
I took them to a upholstery shop my wife had used for a pair of chairs.
They said the original material was very sturdy and could be re-stretched nicely.
I'm very happy with the results.
Check the 'before' shots in post # 4
Now for the Scheel/Mann logo emblems.


rgalla9146,

Could you describe what the upholstery shop did to your seats? What did they mean by "re-stretched"? Did they remove the center bottom and back cushions and re-glue the existing fabric?

Per my earlier post, I have the same baggy fabric problem with a pair of Konig seats. Thanks.

They described it as removing the center cushions and their covers. Then added a layer of thin (1/8"or 1/4" ?) foam, re-installed the cover material then re-installed them in the seat.
My centers had no terrible wear or rips.

A good upholstery guy can work miracles. I wish I could find a good local one. My local guys are all just average.
