Default replacing collapsed seat base 88spec

having bought a replacement seat base for my 88 recaro its proving a reet bastard to fit. the material is too taught for me to stretch. has anyone else gone through this and/or have any pointers to make the job easier? thanks matt

Yes, it's very very tight and is a pain but with the use of a pair of pliers and a flat head screwdriver I've now done four of these fuckers! lol
Just keep at it mate, working from one end to the other alternating sides.
