Do you want a writeup of doing RB seat cover installation?

Any interest in a writeup of how to do the RB seat covers with a lot of pics and
good commentary on how its done? I've seen a lot of threads on this but they
always kind of leave out a lot of details that I think if folks knew about they would
be more willing to do this themselves.

I'm doing this now and am taking a lot of pics just to help me reassemble correctly.
Also I've come up with some new and interesting ways to deal with the common
problem of refurbing or fixing the foam. If I do this it will be archive worthy I hope.

If at all possible, a video would be nice as well. But I think everyone would appreciate a good, detailed write up.

Go for it - you'll save me the trouble... and the guilt of not having done it yet!

I would have loved a write-up before I did my seats. Judging from the interest my (somewhat incomplete) thread generated, I'm sure something that is well documented will be archive-worthy and much appreciated.

Go for it!

Sounds like the ayes have it. I'll start on it very soon. I just uploaded images for the prep work.
May get the reupholstery done this weekend. Write will follow along soon as well then.

Whats the limit on number of image links per post? Can't find it anywhere on the site but I seem
to remember its like 5 or 6 maybe. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

Always good to see write ups! Think a few in the archive could do with being remade :P

External links; I think it's 10 or 12.

Haven't forgot about this, life happens. I will be back in the garage this weekend to hopefully
finish these seats up. Got a lot of pics on the disassembly and will do the same on restoration
and reassembly. Some teasers:

The drivers side with the grey wool seat covers removed.



Ouch! That back foam looks bad!



Double Ouch! That seat cushion looks even worse in person.
