Actually, looking at this pic, I don't see why you can't salvage this. Take a look. Sounds like Supertex and I are on the same page, here.

This small area was where I spent the last 20 minutes of time. Start at 1. Remove some staples. Stretch down and forward and restaple. Then go to 2. Down and forward. Then at 3, if your ears are cut to wide and thin, you'll just end up stretching more forward then down. I made the same mistake. Even if it started out the wrong shape you can bend it to your will. :). You'll have those wrinkles out in no time.

the old seat cover was one i cut and tried to fit it on but it didnt work...LOL
Ahh, yeah, I figured that out after looking at it some more. It couldn't possibly be the old cover, lol. I did only the roughest cutting until after the seat was on. Basically, I just cut what got in the way, then did the real trimming as I went along.
