Mark,
If urine has penetrated fabric it will have to be cleaned to extract all the 
dried salts.  They obsorb moisture from the air and re-odor.  Basically 
thoroughly wet clean everything that you can get to first.  Then if you can find 
somone with an ozone generator run a hose from it into the closed up interior for 
a couple of hours.  The ozone is three oxygen molecules and tries to revert 
back to the basic two molecules by attaching itself to something and changing 
the chemical composition.  Someone who does fire or smoke restoration in your 
area should have one.  Until you eliminate all the urea crystals and then treat 
with ozone you will continue to have this problem.  I have seen guys actually 
pressure wash the seats and set them out in the sun to dry.  Hope this helps. 
 ps You might want to put vaseline on the rubber trim if you ozone for a 
prolonged time since it can break down the rubber.
