Although that site was cool, it was not really what i was looking for. I'm talking about personally redoing them, hah, with the help of my freinds mom, she's great at sewing and stuff.

pull the current covers off to use as a pattern, have the new ones sewed, and install them with hog rings like the originals came off

What holds the cover down at the seams to the top of the seat. It seems as if at some of the seams where the seats contour edges are that the cloth is held down to the foam.
