So I got a new seat cover and I don't know where or what kind of stapler gun that will work well to install the cover. Any tips/tricks would be appreciated.

If it has the plastic sides, then a heat gun/hair drier will help a lot to make it more pliable. Any staple gun will work really, I used an old mechanical one for the last few years until I got a Pneumatic(something like that) staple gun. It takes more effort with a mechanical one but works fine. Also another trick I beleive I've noticed, is that if your seat foam is wore out and you dont have the money to buy new foam and a cover, put the new cover on over the old one. It seems that it makes it firmer. Good luck.

I got an upholestry shop to do mine. They only charged me like $5 & took like 5 min. to do it.

Interesting...Didn't think of that! 5 bucks is worth it. I guess as long as they got it on straight!

Can you use any staples? Like from a staple gun that are 1/4" long?
