Unhappy making seat covers

I'm trying to make a seat cover for my husbands 98 jeep cherokee limited ed. The problem is that we frequently work the same hours so I'm having a hard time sneaking out there to measure the seat! It's impossible to get in that jeep without him knowing! So can anyone help me out?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could do some measuring for me.

Specifically I would need the following measurements:
For the seat:
-center of seat length x width (the square in the middle where you sit, not including the sections on each side that rise a bit)
-width from the edge of the seat to the controls on the side

For the chair back: (the part you lean on, not the part seen from back seat)
-overall height of the back of the chair. So the highest point (measure in the middle) and the point where the shoulders of the chair begin to slope.
-The height and width of the center square on the back of the chair

Side of chair:
-the width of the side of the chair ( 3 locations: top, middle, and bottom)

And finally the back of the chair (as seen from back seat):
-height x width (need width across top, middle, and bottom)

Any or all measurement would be a great help! Thanks!

Here's what I suggest. Call around town and find a junk yard that has a couple of them in stock. Then run down there and pull some measurements.

Yeah going to a junkyard to take your measurements would work.
