Rear Seats

[Guest001]

Wont smell better till it dries Next step is get rid of the reason it stinks I guess.

OR you can buy covers like a boot bag for the rear seats that keep the dog (or the kids in some cases), off the fabric LOL

It's not the cloth that needs cleaning - its the foam that is acting like a sponge and is now festering in ooze!

it's pretty easy to pull the rear seats apart.

1) Pull the rear seats out
2) Unclip the cloth from the metal frame - the cloth edges have plastic strips that fold back up and over the metal frame. Pull one edge out and see how easy it is to replace before pulling the rest of the cover off.
3) put all the cover in a front load washing mashine on a gentle wash
4) hose the foam down and squeeae dry, repeast a few times - do not twist. let air dry for a couple of days. Do not put in direct sunlight incase the UV damaging the foam.
5) put it all back together. 1 or 2 of the plastic edges of the cover are a bit tricky these are the ones that have a wire bracing across the foam botom - just follow the bend in the plactic to tuck it in.
6) put seat back into the car.

I just wish the moron that owned it before us HAD used seat covers before letting their dog all over the seats! We don't own a dog so I guess that makes it easier for us to smell it.

Thanks Gigitt - I will try that next.
