seat cover from Truckseats

Tim hooked me up. Received my seat cover yesterday and he knocked it out of the park. Any tricks to putting this on?

Re: seat cover from Truckseats

Lay it in the sun so it's nice and warm when you install it, it helps with the stretch of the vinyl & fabric during the fitting process
Smaller ones (like on my snowmobiles) go in my dryer before install.

How long did it take from order to delivery?

Re: seat cover from Truckseats

How deep is the embossed scroll work and is it even between both pieces?

Took about 12 weeks. Embossed work is even as far as the eye can tell. I did not measure, but nothing jumps out as off or anything like that. Not sure how deep it is. Its looks and feels nice and deep.

It's surprisingly easy:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=652950

The few wrinkles my seat had in the above pics have worked themselves out, it was winter when I did the seat.

Start with the top seat, you can't really do anything with the folded over area at the top, so just make it snug, then start pulling from the bottom center and work your way out to the ends.

With the bottom seat I did the "back" of the seat first with a few rings in the middle, then did the middle of the "front" of the seat and worked my way out to the sides.

Definitely leave it out in the sun for a few hours, it even helps to lay it over the foams while doing this.

That is a great looking cover. Do you have a Highlander? I always like to see pics of those!
