Replacing upholstery

Silicone is your friend but if you have to bag the foam use drycleaner bags they are much nicer to use and you don`t need to tear them out as they won`t make any noise. As was said earlier careful attention should be paid to the seats. If that burlap is rotted and it almost assuridly is fix it first otherwise you are just throwing good money after bad. A little steam on the foam will help return it to its original shape and make the covers fit tighter and look nicer. Lay the covers in the sun inside a car outside with the windows up, that heat will soften the vinyl but keep the hair dryer nearby for a bit more help. Just remember warm vinyl is more likely to tear so treat it accordingly. Don`t be afraid to beat the crap out of it with a flat hand if its on but not quite where you want it, a little slapping around will help move it where you want it without taking it off and starting over which can lead to a trip to the upholsters for a bit of a repair to the stitching. Take your time theres no race here line everything up and go slow and think about your next move before you screw it up and regret not going slowly. Good luck and lets see some pics when you are done
