Just do them on a warm sunny day if possible. Lay the covers out in the sun so they get nice and warm and pliable. Makes em so much easier to install.

Im enjoying your build! Should have got back on mine years ago.

Still have not nailed down final color as that is still a ways off but it will be a solid color (no metallic) and it will either be the green it is now or dark blue or burgandy/wine color. Thats why I went ahead and got the black highlander seat material since it should go with any color I pick.
I am still going to drop the seats by the local upolsterer to see what they would charge for install. I have enough to work on as it is and I am still unsure of how the new foams go back on the frames. The have weird cuts in them that look like they should envelope the frames but I could be wrong. I had to dig the springs out of the old foams.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
