Hi folks, I want to install my back seat but before I do I need to pretty it up some. The last time I had a seat Upholstered it was around 100 bucks, I can imagine it is 200 today and that is just too much.
So my question is, are there any quality seat covers on line or in a store that are quality and fit well and wont break my budget, I dont mind paying 40-80 bucks or so for a decent quality cover.
Another question is that when I find what I need I was considering afixing it to the old seat cover with some kind of glue to give it a permanent feel, stapling it to the frame somehow, been done?...Sound like a good idea?.
Anyways there are plenty of cheap looking covers and some that actually look thick and strong but I wouldnt know till I bought it... Has anyone found a good quality cover? Cloth or vinyl ..Another thought was taking off the cover it has and maybe an interior shop can duplicate it and maybe save some money..anyone done it that way?
Thanks for any ideas.

I think you can buy some heavy duty covers that attach with hog rings. Not fancy but tuff and serviceable.
Thanks, I`m looking for a lead on some..If you know who sells a quality cover, seems the stores all sell thin nylon type, need a thick durable type.
 
Well I feel like I asked a dumb question..since I last looked some 8 years ago a couple of manufactuers stared making them custom fit for the old girl. Finally can recover all my seats DIY.
