It's been a while since I've been able to work on the seats - I had a defective back seat cover which TMI has now replaced, and I fitted that this weekend.

I've finally completed the job. Here's the seat back with a small map pocket in matching velour on the back. I suppose that closes this thread.

Thanks for watching and for your advice along the way.

It depends on what you want to see, Jarred. I didn't think that anyone was interested.

The back seat and back seat-back were easy. The front seats were different degrees of difficulty. The seat bottoms I would rate at 6.5 out of 10 on the scale of difficulty, but the seat backs were near a 10.

First, The TMI covers don't quite fit the contours of the headrests. And then you have to make your own plan for the back of the seat-backs. I think have demonstrated that higher up. In the end I had to get help with the fit and the map pockets.
