You might try the new Interiors forum, but most cheap "covers" are just that .. cheap. I've tried some on cars a few years back, after getting the all too familiar worn spot on the side bolster, and none of them stay on and they seem to wad up under you like you've got someone elses underwear on.

Ever think about doing it yourself? Or maybe if you know someone nice enough to make copies of the sections your seats are made from, and cut them out of new fabric?

i dunno how...n i dont think i know anyone that does

I can't imagine it being too hard, just take the seat cover out, seam rip it, then use it as a pattern to make new pieces, then stitch them together. Could probably do the stitching by hand if you had to. (thats what I'd do, its more precise for me than a sewing machine)
