    Hi to all,
    Anyone out there with advise on recovering the original Seats in my Sprint Maverick? So far, I have contacted SMS Auto Fabric. They sent me samples that seem to look very close to the original. I haven't purchased yet but intend to before the year's end because they are telling me that the price will be going up January 1st. They are also telling me that I need to take the Seat covers off and send them to them. They are kind of rough but I assume that they can be reversed Engineered to match. I've only taken the Seat Cover off of the passenger side top part. It was extremely difficult. Any advise? I would stop everything right now and just send the seats to someone if they would do it all. Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Tim

    Get material from SMS. Then find a local upholsterer to do the seats for you.

    Thanks Craig, I'll do that. When taking out the bench seat and flipping it over, i noticed a unique curved clamp that is screwed to the bottom of the seat that seems to accept a tool or something. Anyone know what this is? It's on the drivers side.
    Thanks, Tim

    The clip holds the Owner Manual since you don't have a glovebox to store it

    Thanks for the info. Seriously, I would have never figured that out.
