I rebuilt a seat that had totally rusted out, with a new fibreglass base and aftermarket cover (the foam was still perfect).
Unfortunately, the edge strip was not reusable, so I did without it. That was a mistake.
The cover lasted well, but coincidental with it pulling through at the front edges, it started cracking and falling apart all over the front half - I'm fairly sure the vinyl didn't like being cleaned with domestic products over the years.
So, next one I do I'll be using edge trim like that you've got and never using Mr Sheen or Pledge on it.
