    Yeah that was right after they were installed.

    I'll try and get a pic today once the sun comes up.

    I mean I am thankful enough for them when I get to replace this truck as we try and start a family and head towards
    a DCSB I'll probably get the same ones.

    I also was able to get just the front two off of Amazon Prime for 129.00. That was also a big plus.

    They aren't perfect but they serve my needs exactly.

    Yeah,

    Take your time, I actually ended up removing the bolts in my seat tracks just so I could easily route the straps and such exactly where I wanted them (translated OCD with Honors)

    I also removed the outside trim plastic from each seat to better route the cover and then re-installed them.

    I was happy with my install.

    I imagine if you DON'T have the fold front pass seat it may even be easier.

    Yea, ocd kicked in yesterday, detailed the whole inside of the truck and removed the seats. Got the rear seats and passenger front done yesterday. Working on the driver this morning. I'll post pics when it's all done. I made the mistake of playing with my amps yesterday and now I have all kinds of electrical feedback when the truck is running. Step on the gas and I hear it through the speakers. fml. I'm really good at complicating things.

    My one big hiccup is the flap on the rear of the front seats at the bottom. The instructions say that you may have to disconnect this to feed the front of the seat cover through and to the back Velcro. It's connected under the seat with elastic straps and a metal ring. I could easily bend out the rings and disconnect but then what? The flap is still there, it's part of the factory seat back. Anyone have any ideas? I just tucked the seat cover in to the seat for now but I'm a little concerned the cover might shift around without it attached.

    I see from your pics that there are flaps hanging down the back. Are those flaps from the upper or lower seat cover?


    BTW: I'll be getting mine next week (28th) when my friends come back from the states. I'll be of more use then, since I learn faster when I actually have the product in hand. I'm pretty sure it's easy to figure out.

    If I'm understanding you correctly your seat bottom cover is supposed to connect to your seat back half and the stock flap is blocking that.

    If that's the case tuck that stiff OEM flap back up into the OEM covering. It will seem impossible at first but that's what myself and everyone else does to install wet okoles. It's a son of a bitch to do but it'll tuck. You'd probably have to take the cover king top covers back off cause you'll need enough slack in the OEM cover to do it.

    That makes sense. It's actually the front of the top cover that goes through the separation in the seat and connects to the back of the top cover on the inside(behind the molle system).

    The flap you see is from the upper cover. It hangs nearly to the floor.
