Where it is necessary to butt two ends of the welt together, the use of a connector will eliminate any gapping as the welts expand and contract. |

The most common
use of connectors is: On the Dash, and around the Sunroof. The 'connector' is nothing more than a short length of a nail with the head cut off. Try different sizes of nails for the best fit. "Ring Shank" nails have ribs on them, these grip very well. |

Then press the sharp end into the other end by hand. | |
Once pressed
together the seam disappears, and will not open in the future. |
