It's been a long time since I recovered a set of 100 seats (actually early =
100-6). I can't recall how I addressed the seat back ears where the three p=
ieces seperate (inside/ piping/ outside). It seems to make sense to wrap an=
d glue the inside piece over to the outside, and upholstery nail the piping=
 over the inside piece (on the outside) into the wood.  Here is where I'm d=
ebating my plan of attack on the outer piece:

A) Carefully trim the outer ear piece, fold over and glue the edges, and gl=
ue it nicely up to the piping edge.

B) Same as above but stitch the outer ear piece to the piping.

C) Same as (A), but place a few hidden upholstery nails between the folded =
over edge of the outer ear and attempt to carefully nail them in with the h=
ead under the outer piece but through the inner edge. Risking the nail head=
 damaging the outer material.

Unfortunately my original seats had some repairs done in this area,  so I c=
an't see how it was originally done.

Thanks in advance,  Shawn
