Forgot to include a couple pics of the rear flap-
I was able to save the original cardboard separator for the rear, so i put it back in. If yours is rotten, you can just use a basic peice of cardboard on the underside- it protects the rear flap from the springs on the rear/bottom.
With the rear flap on top of the frame horns you pull these side flaps down and forward TIGHT then hog ring it to the rod inside the lower cover sleeve..
I was not real happy with the LH corner on the bucket so i got out my steamer... its nothing special- literally a $100 Clothing steamer that my wife borrowed from her mom 15 years ago that i stole out of the closet...
I used it to heat up the vinyl on that front corner and bolster... using a towel to wipe up the moisture as it collects on the surface... steam is much safer than a heat gun which can very quickly ruin a cover if left in one spot too long- i have never damaged a cover using my steamer. Anyway- after a few minutes i used my hands to work the vinyl away from the wrinkles. Just the action of pushing the vinyl around relaxes it and most of the ripples disappear.
Onto the upper cushion!
