Seatback for BJ8 in Leather

Hi all,

I am presently trying to install the leather rear seat back upholstery on my BJ8. I have the Moss video, but that only shows the vinyl seat back upholstery installation which has two beads around the seatback, one around the forward edge, the other sits back and hides the carpet edge, and provides a strip to staple to the plywood.
The leather kit only gives one piping strip on the forward edge, but no rear one, so do I just glue to plywood and install the carpet? Would anywone have pictures of how the top side and bottom should look with the leather, pleated seat back?

Also, on the bottom, do I have to razor blade away the sewn in foam on the pleats so I can staple down the bottom edge of the seat back?

Any help much appreciated.
