Hi All: Last summer/fall I redid the front seats in my 70' Square (some of you may remember this). I used the TMI seat covers. I thought the quality of the material was very high, however I found the fit to be less than ideal. The problem areas? The sides of the head restraints are too wide, the width across the front is great, but from front to back on the sides, the material just buckles and has folds in it. Heating it in the Texas sun didn't make it fit any better. Another erroneous fit was the length of the seat back part. It just BARELY made to to the bottom crossbar on the seatback, rather than being long enough to connect to the crossrod and clips that were used originally. The sides of the seat back covers are also about 1 inch too short as well. I am using the original horsehair and original foam for the headrests, which was in primo condition. The end result? Despite a few fitting problems that I usually notice and others who aren't into Type 3's miss; I find the appearance most satisfactory. I use my Square to cart around Dalmatians, and even with their claws, I feel these seat covers will last a long, long time. I just wish TMI had a better fit. Ok for me, but most certainly not show quality! Allen Moore Houston 70' Square ------------------------¤}ád ----------------------------------- Too much?
