Default Show me how you attached your seat backs...Please

Hi All,

Im upgrading to Oregon aero seats and will be going with a sheepskin top and fabric on the sides and back. I currently have leather which the back cushion is attached with a piece of leather that wraps over the top and velcros. I would like to do away with this and wanted to see what everyone is doing.

...Figured I wouldn't recreate the wheel...

Thanks,
D

On my seats, Oregon Aero stitched two rows of Velcro into the seat back and bottom cushions. They supplied the mating strip which is self adhesive.

Thanks Jon,

Would it be possible to take a picture of the placement?

Thanks,

My seats came with the velcro but I never peeled it and attached it to the metal. I've never had the seats shift around in flight (and it gets bumpy sometimes up here in the mountains). Adding the velcro would just make it a bit more difficult to remove the seats for inspection or getting into the baggage area.
