striped seats

No one gave me a definitive answer the first time. Are these the rare striped sport seats that were mentioned at the beginning of this thread?

cleaning seat covers properly

The other was not too bad, but I was in a hurry as usual.
Next time I hit the wrecking yards,
I will take my digital camera.
I have seen lots of stuff that is considered rare in this thread, which I have left behind.

As for seat covers, the only way to clean them is to snip the hog rings off.
I use a mini compound Record 909 compact cutter.
Hand wash them a few minutes in a pail.
The water will be black as night.
Then wash them in a washing machine.
The water should be a disgusting gray.
You will have to buy some hog rings and a hog ring pliers.
I use GM hog rings because they are cheap.
The GM part number os 31022646.
They come in plastic bags now and not in cardboard boxes, like the good old days.
I use a pair of Blue Point hog ring pliers.
You will grab and pull the fabric and crimp the rings on in the reverse order that you removed them.
The more you do, the faster you will get.
I guarantee that you will not believe how clean and fresh your seats will be.

A lot of manufacturers are now shooting foam in place.
The seats are on a merry-go-round and the urethane is injected so that it adheres to the plastic backing of the seat covers. You may never take them off for cleaning.
I also hate how plastic lens covers on headlights get dull so fast on new cars.
That's two reasons why I'd rather fix up my Festiva.

I found two Festivas at the wreckers with this interior, side by side, and took the best combo set of covers for myself.

I don't think so. The only ones I have ever seen were black.
