When I did my seats on an old VW I used dental floss.
I figured that would be stronger than string, and the wax coating would
help with the longevity.

Another tip is to put an plastic dry-cleaning bag over the foam when you
are done, and before you slide the seat cover over it.
The slick plastic can make it easier to get tight-fitting covers on, and
to adjust them once they are on the seat.
