One thing I wanted to mention was in working on any car that is over 30 to 40 years old; no matter what the seat covers look like the cotton under wrap also that molded latex foam & the burlap will develop a bad smell. Kind like a musty, mold stink. If the seats are set out in the sunlight the smell will get even worse. That's the foam actually deteriorating.

In my experience once old car seats start to smell like that there is no way to get rid of the smell. The only cure is as above to remove ALL of the old covers, foam, cotton and burlap material and replace with brand new!

Awesome tutorial BTW.
