Just got word my rears will be here tomorrow! Too bad I'll be out of town for the weekend

 

I have a 2012, and my coin catcher straps do have a plastic clip that slips on and off of the seat springs. There was no cutting required. I can't speak for earlier models, but like I've said before, remove the front seats completely from the truck. It makes the process so much easier. I was able to get my covers to fit good and tight. I then cut the excess cover straps (melted the edges to keep them from fraying) and zip tied them to make sure they don't get caught in anything.

I'm getting ready to go do the rears here in a little bit.

 

Well, I finally finished up installing my rear covers. The rears are easier than the fronts. I don't think it's necessary to remove the rears although I still took them out. Speaking of OCD, this is also how I finished the underside of the front seats. Everything cut and zip tied in place.




As far as the rear headrest covers, I didn't see any issues with them. Mine came with holes for the levers and they seem to fit perfect. There's no gaps or anything and they cover the entire headrest perfect. I did get black headrests instead of the charcoal and I really like them. I noticed on my invoice that they did not charge me any additional for requesting the black headrest covers over the standard charcoal. I thought they had charged me $10, but I noticed shipping was $30 instead of the $20 I thought it was (I was thinking two sets were two entire sets, not front and rears being two sets).






As someone mentioned earlier, the rear covers really make it difficult to access the behind seat and under seat storage areas. The covers are so thick that they want to "bunch" up when you move them forward and backward. The seat bottoms are also very hard to lift up because they are so tight. This is one aspect of the covers that I'm a little disappointed in. I think they would be better if the foam padding wasn't so thick. Other than that, I'm a satisfied customer. Here's the final product.

 

Very nice!!

I was a little too impatient to notice the plastic clips could slip off. It goes to show that if you actually do take your time then it can be turn out almost flawless.

 

That came out nice!

 

Two things on the duct tape. 1. it's used temporarily to secure the coin catcher until clips can be installed (at least in my case). 2. If done correctly, the tape only contacts area's not seen once the covers are eventually removed. ie. the underside of the catcher flap and the inside of the seat back pocket are the only contact points. I don't think anyone wants to purposely goo up their seats.

So far the "clips" idea and the "folding the cover under itself" idea both seem the be the best (and easiest/cleanest) options.

Either way I'm really enjoying the pics coming in of everyone's covers installed. Fun to see everyone working together to help out with problems that arise in each case and the solutions that developed from each circumstance. Have fun and keep em' coming in-

 

Hey Steve,

Feel free to contact WO for a replacement clip but just thought I'd throw it out there that any local outdoor shops (ie. REI, Academy, etc) or even Walmart/Target will have replacement clips.

If your like me, I want a problem fixed fast and don't like waiting on shipping. Either way good luck bud!

 

Not gonna lie, these were a pain in the ass to put in. Didn't have any problems just took a long time to try and work the material to fit correctly. Overall I think they look pretty good in the truck.

 

ok, got mine installed fronts and rears. Definetley have to take out the front seats, i didn't try it with them in but just putting them together on the tailgate i could only imagine it would almost be impossible or end up with a shitty job. it probably took me about 3.5 hours but thats taking the front seats out and taking my time. Was a little pain in the ass but overall not too bad.....As others are saying the backs are a little tight but just have to give it a little more when your closing up the tops.....all in all though they look awesome!! it's dark now but tommorrow i'll post a few picks!

 

Nice! What color piping is that?

 

Got mine yesterday! No email but who cares. I was able to install one and it looks great. Tomorrow I will do the other one and take some photos. The install isn't too bad, If I had more time I would probably take the seats out to get them perfect but its not necessary and its hard find anytime to do anything these days with the two under two I have running around !

 

Red. It goes with my red badges

 

Looks awesome dude. If I remember right you have "red" badging too? Ties in amazing bud. They are a bitch to install but in the long run........adds an amazing element to the truck. I have a "red" theme on my silver 09 and almost went with your set up. But without a red truck I couldn't justify it. Looks great though bud. Enjoy!

 

Finished my install earlier today...for those who haven't installed theirs yet, Highly suggest removing the front seats to do the install. Was able to tweak the covers and straps for an even better fit and the seats are very very easy to remove. There is no reason to remove the rear seats, the install was very easy and everything is accessible.

For the "coin catcher" I didn't want to use tape, or cut it off so I came up with this...Similar to the binder clips but less bulky. Took some picture hangers I had laying around, straightened them out and used them to "crimp" the flap to the seat back pocket. The factory under seat elastic strap I safety pinned in the inside of the pocket before crimping the flap.

 

You guys using that clips to pin up the coin skirt are lucky. I have the hard plastic back because my seat folds forward flat to make that "table"....

 

wait... you got instructions?! Son of a .....


finished mine up today. still need to do a little more adjusting and tucking.


Still working on the armrests.

 

I'm one happy camper.. It makes me feel like I have a brand new vehicle

 

sorry for the crappy pics but i just finished installing them. also i am having a HARD time installing the back does anybody have any advice or tips? because this is what it looks like right now =/

 

Did you get all black? Those look great with the tan int...

 

yes and thanks
