Seat Cover Installation Tips?

[fox_forma]

I never had any issues changing my own seat covers, even for my first time but like mentioned heat is your friend. I start at the front and line that up and pop a few staples in it to hold it good. I would sometimes, depending on the type of cover pull it back as much as i could and put 2 temp staples at the very back to hold it then stretch it nice and tights all around the sides, staple down and proceed towards the back. Once i got close to the back I would pull out the 2 temp staples i did in the beginning then staple down tighter like usual. Never had any problems. I also sometime like to shave a bit of the seat off towards the back to give it more of a seat feel so i would sit in it better. Kinda like an indent but thats just my preference.

Thanks. Very good info! Lots of good advice.

 

I'll post a pic when I'm done with it.

I just bought a seat cover and will be installing it this weekend. Any tips on what works/doesn't work?

i let mine sit in the sun for a few hours and it will be more pliable , then stretch it over the foam and use a air stapler and work your way around
