    Keeping 2670MK Dinette Cushions In Place?

    We have the standard booth style dinette and the cushions do not stay in place. The bottom cushion moves out and the top cushion drops down behind it. Does anyone have a suggestion to keep this in place during use?

    Mine too! Haven't fixed it yet, but the plan is to get some velcro to stick them down with. The super industrial "stick on" kind sold at Home Depot. I'll probably put a staple into the piece that goes on the wood under the cushion, to to convince it not to ever come loose. The second part on the cushion should be fine with just the double stick backing, as long has the area has been well cleaned first.
    BTW - I found that whoever did my back cushions wasn't too careful about where they put the velcro there - mix up which one goes where, and the velcro doesn't line up and grab.

    It was a constant struggle when we first acquired our trailer. As sande005 says above, strips don’t line up and the staples were useless. I pulled the staples and Velcro from the “wood” and discarded them. I replaced with the above stated super industrial adhesive Velcro, but bought the really wide strip (about twice the width of original), and cut them extra long as well. That way, there’s plenty of grab, even if not lined up perfectly. I also had to re-sew the strips on the backs of the cushions. They were beginning to tear the thin fabric on the back. Used coat thread, a curved needle and a thimble (because the Velcro fabric edges are tough to get a needle through). This solved the problem for good.

    We've been frustrated by the velcro also. Tried some of the 2" heavy duty, but evidently not enough. We also noted early tearing on the fabric backing.

    We have a really good nonskid rubber mat we use in the cabinets. I'm going to put s piece on one bench today. If it works well, it will be stapled to both.

    Doesn't solve the back cushion, I'm considering snaps in the corners.

    did you do snaps and did that work? Thinking of making a combo snap/strap in a complementary fabric

    you are correct, the rubber mat is the trick for the bottom cushions. Thanks.

    The 2022s shipped with a beefy strip of velcro attached to the bottom of the cushion with the clear plastic still attached to the adhesive of the other side. We haven't felt the need to peel that backing off and stick it to the board since we haven't had an issue with our cushions sliding. I do have the issue of the back cushions bouncing out when going down the road though.
