No Sew - Surfside cushions

[zac w.]

Hi Everyone,

I just replaced my cushions in my 1976 Surfside and thought Id post a video showing how I did it. The foam is from an Amazon bed in a box, they ship it right to your door. I picked vinyl covering because we have a little dog and it makes cleaning it easier. Anyways hope you like it.

Hi Zac,

I am trying to figure out how the front goucho worked. My 76 surfside was modified to have the front bunk removed the someone tried reinstalling it using gate hinges but I would like to get it back to original. Do you have pictures of how it was originally mounted?
Thanks

Hi Jon,
I think the hinges in mine were also gate hinges. They screwed onto the front window trim piece.
To hold the other end up was 2 chain door lock devices. I'm not sure if that is original but that's what was in mine. Wish I had some pictures but its all gone now.
