Arrrrgh! Help with my new bench seat cover please!

Seat Pictures

Well I bit the bullet a bought a new bench seat foam cushion and seat cover. The cover is from www.pui.cc and I forget who the foam is from.

The seat cover is too small!!

I paid a trim shop to put the seat cover on, but he said something wasn't right. It went on way too hard..see the pictures. The thing is stretched like a drum. Look at the top front edge closely and see how it is all crunched down and the front top corner / edge of the foam is about 2 inches from the front top seam of the cover.

After the fact I measured the distance from edge to edge on the new cover and on the installed cover. The old cover was ~ 36.5 to 37" and the new cover was ~34.5". The edges I measured from were the edges that get hogged to the bottom of the seat.

What went wrong?? Was my new cover made incorrectly, did I not have an original 67-72 seat?

The cover for the seat back fit perfectly just like the original.

In the pictures there is a shot of the old cover. Has anyone ever seen that style cover before and know forsure what it comes off of?

Thanks for your help
Brian
