seat cover material

[salmonkiller01]

My 97 challenger needs all the green parts of the seats recovered. I was wondering if people just use marine vinyl to put over the foam or use 4 way stretch vinyl. Just wonder cause of some of the shapes of the arm rests. marine vinyl is readily avaliable but 4 way stretch is more $$$$ and has to be ordered.
Also do you use heat to form the corners??

You need 4 way vinyl. You can use Std vinyl on the arms, front seat pads, and the bottom centers, but you will never get out all the wrinkles on the main bottom pad, or the big backrest bolsters.

Good luck

yep, figuring out i should have got the 4 way, but it is looking better than the cracked seats. i will post a pic once i am done.
Ahh 2 more hours of fabric stretching, lol

Many hours!

I have stretched and heated and stretched and pulled and I can not get the wrinkles out of the boob looking things!
I think I'm going to have someone sew them.
