Product description
The submitted samples are as follows: 1. Pad - Seat Back, Part Number YL14-8764810-BA, is a part made from polyurethane foam, with no additional metal springs or frames. This article will be imported as presented, without the outer cover. The cover will be attached after importation. On the back of the pad is a gray material called Duon. Duon is a commercial industrial fabric used in automotive interiors. In this application, it works as an anti-rattle or anti-squeak device so that the polyurethane does not rub against the seat frame. On the front of the seat pad there are four Velcro strips for use in attaching the seat cover after importation. Neither the Duon nor the Velcro strips provide for any type of reinforcement to the pad. 2. Pad - Seat Bottom, Part Number F2006672, is also made of polyurethane foam, with no additional metal springs or frames. This article will be imported as presented, without the outer cover. The cover will be attached after importation. The underside of the pad contains the same Duon material as the above referenced part. The Duon material is used to provide for the same anti-rattle or ant-squeak protection from the seat frame. The front side of the pad contains two metal wires, one on each side of the pad. These wires are used in conjunction with hog ring to attach the pad’s cover after importation. Neither the Duon nor the wires provide for any type of reinforcement to the pad.
