Seat cover help

I just got a vinyl seat cover kit for my 51 chevy. Can anyone point me in the direction of a post or thread with some advice on recovering seats? It sounds simple enough, but I am always interested in hearing advice from someone who has done it before.
Thanks.

 

Always put the covers out in the sun to warm up before putting on...they stretch better.....stan

 

Get a few Dry Cleaner Bags from your local Dry Cleaner Establishment. D**** the bags over your seat and then begin to install the cover. The bags will supply that slippery surface allowing you to pull the cover into place. You can leave the bags in position as they are so thin you won't notice them being there when your finished.
When you start to install your hog ring, start in the middle first and then start lining up the covers to match your pleats or inserts for a finished look.
Take your time when adjusting your design (pleats and inserts)...........Jeff

 

A steamer will help a ton on the tight corners and helping get out the packing wrinkles

 

I do the same as 33sporttruck: Start with the bottom of the seat. Find the center of your front and mark the center of your seat frame. Put a hog ring there. Do the same for the center of the back bottom. Then, add hog rings maybe 6 inches apart until you reach the "corners." Then, work on your sides. Hog ring the center of each end, then work out to the corners. If everything looks good, add more hog rings between each of the original ones.
Then, move to the back. If the seat has pleats or inserts, use this opportunity to line them up with the bottom. Put a hog ring in the back of the seat wherever these inserts are so that they line up. Then, hog ring the back like you did the bottom. It's really not that hard. If you have extra fabric in the corners, make a clean looking pleat and hog ring. Just try to do the same pleat on the opposite corner so that it is uniform. Good luck!
