Ok, Kiddies here's how I got that wrinkle out. In that area on the C pillars there are teeth for you to hook the vinyl onto but there is no way to lock the seam down. As I said before you need to taper to the inside those hooks so there's room for them to move when you're pulling on the sides and hook them higher in the sleeve pocket so to speak so they don't show and create a wrinkle. I had to pull down the vinyl to get up there and re-hook a couple of times. However as much as I pulled on the vinyl and re-hook it I couldn't get the wrinkle out and I was enlonging the holes at the teeth I had it so tight. If I pulled on the seam though I could get 90% of it out so......I pulled on the vinyl and at the same time I drilled a small hole all the way through the sheet metal. Then I ran a small screw back and forth through the hole to create some threads in the hole then using a washer on the screw pulled the seam down, ran the screw in and snugged it up. Just realized I didn't have a pic of the final results so had to run out and take one.

Back to the trunk divider. Why can't these repo companies make an exact copy of even the trunk divider? My old one was wider and covered the wheel wells/inner tubs. I need to lay it out and get a pic to show but right now it's a little buried. With the new one I felt I needed to insulate the tubs which added extra time. And the package tray didn't have the clips to hold the front down like the OEM but fortunately the seat back will do that.
Seat back goes back in.
