Do it on a warm day, Do you have new foam? If not you probably should get new foam. ACI makes the best (American Cushion)
I do auto Upholstery if you have any questions or need tools I can point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the post . I wont be replacing the foam as they are in great condition as the seats were removed from a restored 72 Dually I owned until recently .The covers were a custom Green fabric which I dyed Black . I had planned to sell the seats but instead decided to build a truck around them after getting too many Lowball offers on them .They are now getting Blue/Black Houndstooth covers .I have never attempted recovering seats before but want to do as much on this truck as I can .

Where did you get your upholstery? A previous owner put a couple of cig burns in the seat
