Replacing upholstery webbing sofa reddit. It has Pirelli rubber webbing and they're all old, dry, and there is no support left in the "webbing" strips. I'm fixing a 2 part section couch that has started to sag a ton over the last 6 months. Help this diy-er with first time replacing furniture webbing, 90 degree clips, not fitting into slots.

When the chair was put together, the webbing you see was installed and then the springs were crimped into place on top of it. I replaced the webbing for the first two chairs with jute, with red stripes as I gather that’s designed for seats, but only two inches wide.
