An apparatus for securing a trim cover to a foam pad includes a base and a
platform coupled thereto that defines a working surface for supporting
the foam pad thereon. A plurality of actuators project from the working
surface. Each actuator is capable of movement away from and toward the
working surface and includes a pair of retaining fingers capable of
movement between an open and closed position. In use, the retaining
fingers grasp a first connecting member on the trim cover and move the
first connecting member toward the working surface as the actuators are
moved toward the working surface so as to engage the first connecting
member with a second connecting member in the foam pad thereby securing
the trim cover to the foam pad.
