Beware of seat covers
This is what can happen with seat covers on.
I noticed a few little moldy looking spots around the power buttons & when took the covers off to take a closer look, this is what I discovered. I about had a heart attack! I quickly got the 409 & some paper towels which did nothing. So went & mixed a bucket of 1/2 Clorox & 1/2 warm water and went to scrubbing with a soft brush. They got cleaner than they've ever been, but the covers will not be going back on!

Re: Beware of seat covers
Good to know.
I'd be interested to see how you mounted the seats and your roll bar.

They don't say waterproof, but "made of heavy-duty 600-denier polyester, which beads and repels liquid".

Here's a pic of the rear where you can see the bars a little better - just welded to plate & welded that to floor. The frames are so narrow on these Blazers it takes alot of fabbing to connect to frame directly, and not wanting to do all that with it...right now.
