Stinky seats

Ok so here's the deal. I picked up these junkyard seats a few months ago. They smelled really bad when i got them and i thought that it would fade over time and washing. Well after scrubbing, pressure washing, scrubbing, vacuuming and some more scrubbing and frebreeze as well as some other odor eliminator stuff, they still smell awful. I'm out of ideas, and I'm desperate for some new things to try, anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
adam

I'd sit on em and blow some farts. Nothing quite like markin' em with your own flavor. If that's doesn't work, I'd go for some new seats.

If you've pressure washed em' I don't think there is anything you can do.

just put em in and go get one of the many brands of "odor foggers" or bomb and toss one in the truck. Close the door and let it work it magic. I went camping the other week in my runner and we had fire built by the back and the thign stank liek smoke for a week. Frebreeze would do crap so i went down to shucks bought one of those odor fogger bomb things tossed it in there and neer smelled smoke again.

the smell is probably then not the seat cover itself. remove the cover and check the foam. if they were sitting in a junkyard they may have had access to moisture and other foul things.

I might look into that bomb thing, where is a good place to find them? how difficult is removing the covers? are they glued to the foam? would there happen to be a write up on how to remove them? oh and one more thing lol if it is infact in the foam. how would one go about removing the odor?
