Guys, FYI-

I recently acquired a set of new seat covers for my
midget from a guy on ebay (230101322355) for $170 plus
 $40 shipping and handling and thought I'd give an
update on it.  Well, the quality of the material is
alright, however, the fitment is lousy.  There are
wrinkles and bulges that would not come out, even with
additional foam material underneath.  They werent
stiched right.  The two side cover pieces are about 1"
too big and drooped significantly. Beware of this one!

I emailed the guy and he agrees to give me a refund,
even though he claimed to have sold 1,000 of these and
never had a problem.  Bad part is I'll have to eat $40
in previous shipping and handling charges along with
another $15 to ship the darn things back. He'll
probably charge me for the two side covers that I
tried to modify to fit.

So, what I'm going to do for now is reinstall the old
ratty seat covers back on and save up for the Mo$$
covers, or possibly the AH Spares covers in the near
future.  Lesson learned.
