I believe 'Dry' glue is much needed for things such as the door cards. Fabric must have some give in it so you can fit into all the little bits around the seats etc.
Dry glue is mainly used on door cards since they are 'hard' based compared to seats.
I've tried door cards before and dry glue works a treat with alittle time and effort, case of trial and error.
As for seats thats a different matter, if you look at non-leather bucket seats for an example it's the normally pinned into the underside of the seat to hold it in place however to follow different things such as arm rest i may be wrong but i would believe a form of dry clue or stictching is needed to follow the curves within the seats.
Woudln't mind more info myself as i would like to do my rear seats to be similar to that of my fronts
Hope that helps.
