1985 Fourtrax 250 seat issues

Hello all, Its been 6 months since I was logged on but I need your collective help with a really nice find here in the Denver area. Last year I bought a super low use 85 Four trax 250 and I just started to get her all gussied up again. Previous owners son fiddled with the timing chain tensioner and the resulting bent intake valve caused him to park it in the garage for 25yrs. I bought it with more then have of the tread remaining on the original tires so you can imagine how little time this little gem actually has.

Anyway I just finished installing a new seat cover and foam kit from Saddlemen and its very nice BTW however the front of the seat where it touches the tank is gapped pretty good and I cant seam to make it lay like it should. It was like this with the original cover and I figured the heat on years had caused it to shrink and turn upward but even after I warmed the seat pan and reformed it to proper positioning it curled back up again with the new seat cover installation. Any experience and or suggestions?
