Well i bought the "cheapy" one from LMC for 149 and i gotta say its a good fit and feels comfy

also got their black seat belts too

I also was working on my daily driver today replacing the A/C evaporator ALL DAY

i never wanna replace another one in a chrysler again

here is some before and after pics

BTW this was my first time ever doing this...

not too shabby!
I always wanted to try my hand at that... but too scared.
How long did it take you? First try at this?

lowriden58 · 07-18-2008, 09:42 PM

well to be honest im not sure on exact time it took as i was taking breaks from the chrysler

but i would say prolly 2hrs total. the screws holding the back to the bottom are a PITA to remove

other than that it went very smooth. i let the covers sit outside for a few hrs while i worked on the car, that way the covers were very soft

Tip on removing the screws from the sides.. ( take 2 large craftsman philips head screwdrivers and weld the in a cross pattern) gives you great leverage

also spray some PB blaster on them and let it sit for about 30mins ahead of time

if it didnt cost an arm and a leg to ship it to me i would say lets do it!

now i just need to fix the rust around the windshield (inside) then paint the inside of the cab. get some carpet, door seals, yadda yadda

Another idea for removing screws is a impact driver. It has different screw head bits and what you do is hit it with a hammer and it applies twisting force impact. Or some of the screw drivers have a hex lug on them up by the handle so you can get a wrench on them.

do they have one that doesnt have any patterns in it, just like your blue one but black?

they do have one without any scrolling, it has larger spacing between the pleats tho.
