Thread: re- doing seats help..

Tweet

Yeash. I saw the suede ones for $35., but even here.. You get what you pay for. Now which is better.. Seat covers for $35., or seat covers for $170.?? I have to pull these out, and shampoo them, and extract them to see just what I have. The back seat uses some sort of plastic clip to hold the seat down. You have to pull them straight up. The rear is something dofferent. I will need to take the whole works in order to retro it to the 37's back. The whole thing has to be oiled up to make everything work. Looks like longer tracks for the seats to ride on. That would make sence. The passengers side slides more than the drivers. I guess you can just push it foward from the back seat and the seat will slide for easy access.

When putting in new seat risers.. How does that work.. I heard that your sight should be just above middle of the windshield.. This right?? Al

It's safe to assume that a set of suede seat covers for $35 probably isn't going to be worth the time it takes to put them on.

As for risers, I'd say mock the seats up on boards/blocks in the car to figure out what is the most comfortable for you with your height, body type, steering column position, pedals, etc. Take into account anybody else who might be driving the car (like your wife) and make sure the seat can be adjusted so she can also drive the car comfortably. Then take your measurements and build your risers.
