Re: Willcox Corvette (Troublemaker 71)
Seat bottoms are a snap. I ended up taking the backs to an upholsterer when it became obvious I was going to tear the material if I continued trying to force them over the foam. If I remember correctly, he charged me $100. He had to use a big steam machine to loosen/stretch the vinyl and said they were so tough to do, he probably wouldn't do any more!

Re: Willcox Corvette (Troublemaker 71)
It is not hard to replace the seat covers yourself. It is just tedious and takes patience. I have done it several times now and I get faster each time.
They do have special tools, but I just use my regular ones out of my tool box.
I think Willcox puts a sheet of instructions and helpful hints in each box.

Re: Willcox Corvette (Rich80)
I am glad everyone has had good luck with them. I am about to place a large order. Everything but seats. I am going to bit the bullet and buy new aftermarket ones.
