Vinyl graphics on leather headrest

Anyone try installing Brent's vinyl headrest graphics in their cars? I've been trying to get some Z/28 ones to stick but to no avail. Tried LOTS of rubbing alcohol to clean the area of any residual armorall but I can't get them to stay on. Anyone try a different method?

Won't work; leather doesn't really let anything stick to it; just the nature of the material.

Only way to put something onto the headrest is to have it sewn in.

They worked great for me. I have the gray leather (almost looks like vinyl) seats. I installed a set of Brents 30th Decals. I have had them for just less than 2 years now and they still look great. I just wiped the seats lightly with some glass cleaner and stuck them on. If anything the stuck faster than I wanted them to. I couldn't reposition them If i needed to.

Good luck with it.
