Captains Chairs - Available

I have 2 original captains chairs out of my 2011 Georgetown. They are the light brown vinyl. The vinyl is coming off the piping on the drivers seat and my DW mistakenly put the vacuum on the passenger seat with the beater brush engaged! I know a lot of people have trouble with peeling vinyl and these may be better than what you have. I just want to get them out of my garage covered in plastic. I would like little something for them, maybe? I am outside of Memphis, shipping is not an option. Send a message if interested, I would hate to throw them out.

Yes, each capt chair took about 3 hrs. The sofa arm rests about 2hrs each. The sofa cushions just needed to have the cushions stuffed into the new covers. Still need to do the drawer and back cushions. That'll take maybe an hour each when i get back from our vacation at the beach. I'd had a detailer ready to do the job but he never showed up. So I decided to take on the job myself, saving about $500 bucks!! It probably wasn't aperfect job, but it was acceptable to me!!!

Thank you! And to think I got the new covers for free and great advice from someone on this forum. Thank you Jack!!!
If ya'll are contemplating doing your own upholstery job, hog rings and pliers are a must. Mine came with the pliers and 150 hog rings. Just Google for them. I got mine from Ion tools on Ebay for 20.99 and free shipping

Jack is here in Myrtle Beach, we are planning on taking him and his wife out for dinner one of these nights. Free is one of the reasons I'm helping folks learn the tricks to doing their own reupholstering job.

I can sew but the thought of reupholstering these seats and the sofa is so intimidating I could use any free advise you could offer - would love to save $1200

Have you tried looking at these?
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Covercraf...&wl13=&veh=sem
If I hadn't received those those given to me, I was ready to do these for the Capt chairs
Now, the sofa problem might be solved using one of these, no guarantees:

Unhappy Captain's chairs

Our Pilot's chair and Co-pilots chair look the same as yours. Our sofa bed is even worse and we have a cover on it all the time. I'm not sure what this furniture is made out of, but it sure doesn't last. As soon as we get our new seats in, we are buying covers to protect them. For what a person has to pay for a Class A Georgetown, you would think the furniture would last longer.

Sorry I wasn't very clear! The hog rings were for the capts chairs.
All I needed for the sofa was staples!

I upholstered some corvette seats one time ago and instead of using hog rings which can rust, I used nylon zip ties. Seemed to work just fine.

Acceptable? They look like brand new chairs.
