How Do You Replace Vinyl Chair Straps With Slots?

If your vinyl chair straps have seen better days, or if you simply want to update the look of your chairs, replacing the straps is a relatively easy process. All you need is a new roll of vinyl strap, a utility knife, and a few tools to complete the job.

Start by removing the old vinyl straps from the chairs. If the straps are held in place with metal clips, use a screwdriver or pliers to remove the clips.

If the straps are glued in place, use a putty knife to loosen the glue and then remove the straps.

Next, clean the surface of the chairs where the new vinyl straps will be glued. This will help ensure that the new straps adhere properly.

Once the surface is clean, measure and cut the new vinyl strap to size. Be sure to allow for extra strap at each end so that you can attach it to the chair frame.

Apply glue to the back of the new vinyl strap and then attach it to the chair frame. Use clamps or heavy books to hold the strap in place while the glue dries.

Repeat this process for each chair strap.

Finally, attach any metal clips or other hardware that was used to hold the old vinyl straps in place. These should be easy to reattach using your screwdriver or pliers.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully replaced your vinyl chair straps and updated the look of your chairs in just a few simple steps.
