Default 69 seat cover installation help

can anyone post a link for a step by step process to recover my seats? I have one from corvette fever, it is just not detailed enough. I have the comfort weave from cor. Central with new foams, having never done anything like this, i really need a step by step, correct order of process to follow. Thanks

Hi T,
I found that taking the covers off just one of the seats, noticing the sequence required, just what needed to be done and in what sequence, helped me understand how to proceed with the first new cover.
Also, having a seat with the covers still on to look at for reference helped with the first cover too.
Start with the seat bottom... it's easier and will give you some confidence. Using a hairdryer to warm up the material helps in getting the covers place and working the wrinkles out.
Al Knock has a seat installation dvd that I found helpful too.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Thanks, not so much an ability thing as much as a confidence thing. I can see exactly where stuff goes, but what order? Seat cover to foam then slide it over the frame etc. Thx for the help
