3. Glue the filler to the dorsal part and let it dry well. Cut off the excess flush with the sidewall.
4. Stretch the upholstery fabric and secure it with brackets on the panels, pre-folding the edges of the material.
5. Fix the seats on the main and side with the help of the loops so that you get an even angle. To do this, move the long element to the distance that the short adjoins.
