I've got a friend that swears by them. I haven't tried them yet.

Hey thanks for the link, those are a little pricey though, I'll have to do more searching or start making my own.

I've got this much done so far, cut seat foam out and replaced with less dense foam, will be covering in new vinyl in the next couple days.

Put some vinyl on the seat today, I think it turned out pretty good (no wrinkles or creases) It's raised a little bit where I added the new foam. I haven't been able to try it out yet, it seems like it rains everyday.
