Glenn,
You are right about Rick and his upholstery, but the
original subject was about seat covers. Covers are just
that, they cover the upholstery. The original style '09
covers have two straps on the bottom and use Velcro to
hold the cover in place. Because the older NOS canvas
is usually shrunk, the straps barely hold, if at all.
I had covers made to protect my original vinyl and got
near original looking pleated vinyl upholstery from an
outfit in NM or TX for my M1008. The pattern is not exact,
but the color is pretty close. This replaced the original and
uses hog rings, the real deal. A local auto upholstery shop
did the installation. New made canvas covers for the M1009
are about $75.00 (front seats), the upholstery for the '08
bench seat was over $200.00, plus installation.
