    Little tip when removing badging, use either a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the glue. The badges come off a lot easier and you will not damage them if you ever want to reuse them. Love your videos, keep up the great work. You crack me up.

  • @philipmcmurtry4629

    I’d forgotten how much I hated hog rings until I watched this!! My apprenticeship in a Ford workshop in the UK 25 + years ago involved daily replacing seat foam and trims on MK6 Escorts. We used to open the old rings rather than cutting them. We also discovered that very small cable ties (called zip ties in the USA I think) worked just as well and were much easier to fit.

    Fantastic job. That really looks amazing.
    One tip for the future, when removing emblems, use fishing line to cut the tape instead of prying the emblem. Then use a 3M Stripe Off Wheel (part number 07498) to remove the remaining tape/glue. It works so well and is great from removing tape pinstripes. You can get the 3M wheel from Amazon for about $35.

    For what it's worth, and for everyone's future reference, there is a hog ring removal tool. I used one when I reupholstered our old Forester. Saved me from having to buy new rings. Didn't really save much time over just cutting them, though. FYI, doing upholstery sucks! LOL My fingernails hurt just remembering it.
