That's Doug (scooterrebel), so hopefully he'll see this and can answer any questions.
Doug, not sure how much you do on Youtube, but you can add annotations and captions to the vid to provide additional info if you wish.

well brent i recently pulled the cover off my sons roketa to fix the latch and i put it back on with my staple gun and 5/16" #3 staples. don't know which staples he used but thats what i used and they haven't come thru or loose yet. best i can figure is when you shoot them thru the plastic they warm up just enough to "seal" into the plastic.

I guess I might understand how the staples work if I could see an uncovered seat. I've often wondered if the staples were clenched down or just holding in the seat material somehow.

To me it, from my experience they just hold it all together some how with the staples never really closing.

Sorry about that, but glad you generally liked the vid. The staples just go into the plastic seat form. If you ever stapled into wood, it is the same thing as this seat I did. As far as length of staple, don't go too long, the ones I put in were longer than the ones I took out, so I just moved up the side a bit further so more foam was there and they didn't poke out the other side.I was trying to not make the vid too long, for a couple reasons, one that it takes me forever to upload on satellite internet. Oh, some of the older seat, like back in the 60's and 70's had a metal base with gripping "teeth" instead of using staples. This seat is on a 1980 Yamaha.
If you are going to do a seat, start on one side and get it anchored down so you can pull the other side to stretch it tight, the go to the front and back doing the same thing, don't be shy on using the staples either, use plenty. Let me know if you need more info.
And Brent, I don't know how to add text over the vid.

Go to YouTube and click on your video while logged in. You should see this box and the options to add annotations or subtitles.  If you choose annotations, it'll take you to this screen. There are little icons you cna click to add different types of word bubbles. Mess with it for a few minutes and you should figure the rest out pretty easy.  |
