Ivy: Saddle Up

Installed the new seat cover from "joemama1931" (Excel Custom Forming) in Saddle Tan.  When I first tried wrapping it around the seat, it just didn't seem big enough to stretch down.  Ended up removing the thin layer of dark grey soft foam and just leaving the closed cell.  After that, the cover fit pretty well.

A bit fiddly the first time, but now having done it, I'm sure it gets easier every time.  I realized the first trick is to make sure everything is lined up straight (using the ribbing as horizontal guides, for example).  No point in stretching it from front to rear if it's not straight.

Ended up with a strange problem, though.  Even though the ribs looked good and straight, I ended up with the right side cutout not being in the right place.  Going to contact the seller to ask about it...
