Hopefully, it works out for you, but my btdt was that kits you buy online are low quality material and construction. Also, over time, cushions get compressed and deteriorate and stink. I had a shop reupholster seats using german vinyl, which is thicker. They also double stitched the seams and put in new foam for a snug fit. Not cheap, but bomb-proof.
