Dry Heat?

I'm getting ready to recover my rear seat and someone suggested I throw the covers in a clothes dryer to soften them up before installation? Is this a good idea and if so, how long?
Thanks.

 

Just set them outside in the sun for an hour and you will be set.

 

Thanks, George. I'm running out of sunny days up here, though.

 

Gary. I think you just missed some nice weather this weekend.

 

place the seat covers in a pillowcase before placing in the dryer. if the vinyl gets too hot, it could stick to the dryer drum.

 

Dave - definitely did, took advantage of it and took the car for a nice ride. It was nicer the week before when we were in Easthampton, MA

Gerry - thanks for the tip!
