You will see the covers don't go on perfect it is only because I need to re tighten them once they settled a little bit. I think these covers are very much worth it.
Things you need:
1. 550 Cord or a string heavy enough to go down the back of the seat and not break under stress.
2. Seat covers, I have the Cal Trend "I can’t believe it's not leather"
3. Scissors, Razor Blade, Utility cutting knife or a plain knife.
4. Patience.
Step 1: Lay out the Seat Covers so you can ensure everything is there, would suck to be half way and notice something is missing or damaged. At this point you should unbuckle all the straps and check to ensure when you tighten these the strap is facing away from the seat cover you are to be pulling on.
Step 2: To get yourself familiar with the material I suggest doing the headrest first and if arm rest do that as well. Good to start off the install with little victories and a feeling of accomplishment for the slight headache you may have later ha-ha. Just take off the headrest by pressing in the TWO buttons in. There is one sticking out that lets you just adjust the headrest and on the other plastic bit is a button that is flush that needs to be pressed in.
Step 3: For a 60/40 bench I suggest doing the 40 side first (small side). You need to do the bottom portion (Will your **** sits!) first as this is much easier than the cover for the back.
Step 3B: Lay the cover on the seat and start tucking the cover into the opening of the seat. I suggest doing this at a 45-degree angle as this lets you move the material easier and get your hands through. Once the cover is somewhat on there. Start tightening down the straps and watch it form onto the seat. When all straps are tightened down push the seat back down and inspect your work. Readjust as needed, once satisfied tie the straps to themselves. Don’t need to go crazy on this part as you may want to check out the covers and readjust.
