Here are the parts. Next step, disassembly. |

Using a single edge razor blade take the boot apart to make templates. |

Each piece can now be used to make the pattern. Don't bother taking out the top stitching...you can make the seam allowance by eye. |

I got a yard of this really nice leather-like vinyl for $3.88! |

Mark the pieces so you know which is which. The sides are the same, the front and back are unique. DON'T forget to mark the holes. |

Trace out the pieces. MAKE a seam allowance for the folded over part! |

Cut out the pieces. |

All the seams are a piece of cake until the last one!!! (Well, two...two topstitches) |

The seat belt covers are easy...but it might take a couple of tries to get the right tightness. A single stitch up the length then turn and make the hem at the top. |

Slip it on! We left the bottom raw...you can't see it. |

Looks pretty darned good if you ask me! |

Here is an addendum for 94-97 cars: This is a seatbelt stalk from a '94. It's shorter and attaches to the seat unlike the 90-93. |

94-97 addendum:The driver's side stalk must be unplugged under the front of the driver's seat and there is one cable tie to snip under the rear of the seat. |

Here it is being installed. Tuck the bottom in to get rid of wrinkles and then rotate it up vertical. |
