Here are some pics of my rear seat covers before and after removing the disgusting, nasty old ones. It looks soooo much better now, and only took about 4 hours. Including some minor spring repairs on the upper back part. And of course a little restuffing. I completely redid the bottom padding. Enjoy:hurray:

Hi guys, thanks for the compliments. As for tips, Around the edges of the new covers there is a slit in the fabric where some type of "cord" needs to be inserted. I couldn't reuse the white "cord" as seen sticking out of one of the old covers in the pic above. It was just too rotten. So i used some 1/8 inch stick welding rods i had laying around. This worked very well for me. The whole install was not hard at all. I was expecting much pulling, stretching and cursing. As for seat repairs, I replaced the entire padding on the seat bottom. I cut a new piece of carpet remnant i had lying around to cover the top of the springs. Secured it to the springs with several hog rings. Then went over the top and sides with 2 inch thick foam sheet i bought at Hobby Lobby. It feels very sturdy and comfortable when i or the wife sit in it. Worked out very well. Let me know if i can help any further.:beers:
