Default Replacing foam and seat covers

Ok, guys -- ballpark figure -- how long should it take to replace the back seat foam (the buns had been done) and then put on new seat covers on both bucket seats? I realize the seats have to be removed, but approximtely how long should this entire procedure take?

I spent one full day replacing my bucket and rear seat covers. I did it by myself though, so it may take less time if you have halp.

It was done by a professional seat cover business.

It should not take more than four hours for pros to replace both the front bucket seats and the rear seat.

If it is a buisiness, the main factor is not how long it will take them to put the covers on but how long it will take them to get to it. I'm sure they have plenty of work. You know the old saying; You can have it good or you can have it fast but you can't have it good and fast!

I didn't have the rears done. I had the backs done, meaning the back of the bucket seat. The buns had been done 2 weeks ago.

All they did was replace the covers on the bucket seats and replace the foam on the back of the bucket seats.

Hope that's clearer.

You had foam replaced on the back of the bucket seats?

The post that was removed asked if I had a question, and yes, I do.

How much time should it take to replace the bucket seat covers and replace the foam on the back of the bucket seats (the buns were done 2 weeks ago)? I am obviously trying to find out if I was fairly charged.

So far I've been told 4 hours to a day .... so I'm thinking I wasn't overcharged at all.

In the same vein, how much time will it take to remove the entire backseat to replace the foam and install new covers?
