I got the lowers done ok., having trouble with seat back.
I replaced the foam, then hog ringed it as needed.
then pulled seat cover on, and attached upper horizontal listing wire.
I can’t seem to get the upper end of the vertical listing wire attached.
I can’t get my hand up under cover in front, and the mount point is too far to reach from the back!

help!

Not for sure if all the seats are done the same but on mine the top horizontal listing wire had small loops on each end that the vertical wires slid into which held the wire down at the top. When you put your next hog ring in as high as you can, it will pull the seat cover crease in. See my great artistic drawing - lol. Hope this helps.
