Sliding Seat...

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Ros, are you talking about the upholstered cushion? If so, attach Velcro to the underside of the cushion and the ply sheeting underneath. I guarantee it won't move then. 8-)

Yes Lesley the cushion only happens with one, had thought of velcro did you just glue the strip to the ply side or did you use the shelf adhesive type. :?:

Thanks Ros

Try the self-adhesive first. If it comes away after a while, you can always super glue it then. I guess it will depend on how often you want to remove the cushion. Lately I have found some self-adhesive stuff failing in the van due to high temperatures. E.g. The paper towel holder fell off on a 38 degree day while the van was parked in the yard. :? Still that is preferable to opening the van door and finding a screw on the floor and having no idea where it came from. :roll:

Well slip covers made for the van cushions, they look good, :D I purchased extra material when we had the van made so they look good. Now thanks for everyone for your advice on the slipping cushions, I had a metre of that non slip stuff they use on the soles of home made slippers it has little rubber bubbles on it , I sewed this to the underside of the slip cushions, also placed a piece of the rubber we all use in our cupboards underneath as well so will see if that works, if not will use Lesley idea of Velcro... Now the job for today is to modify our shade cloth wall that we use along the fridge side of the van.... have a good day everyone.
