Hola Wido!

Your English is better then my Spanish! Are you sure that the Leather S t r e t c h e d ? Maybe the foam SHRUNK that could happen if the paint you used to make the seat black leached thru the leather and disolved the foam. (I have seen that happen)

Anyway, Welcome! Good luck! Adios

widopof, was the leather wet when mounted? Leather can act different with paint then with water. Maybe that is why the leather got 'bigger', or did not get tight.

If dry when mounted you should be able to make it tight. Good luck, GH
