I'd say ask a few upholstery shops ..
automtoive ones ..though furniture reupholstery is nottoo different really.
It can be expensive..
there's one vanagon guy that is an upholsterer person ..
  areal one....william in Salem, OR. ...havn't seen him on the list in a
long time.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone wanted to charge $ 150 per seat ..<
even more >
and I hope it would be perfect at that price.
