    I received my covers today and have just installed them. I had no instructions in the box however the install is pretty obvious to figure out.

    The drivers side is a little confusing due to the factory plastic flap having to be removed and tucked up behind the rear section. I took my time and made sure to tuck the covers under the side plastic moldings. It was about an hour and a half from start to finish for me.

    If you do it slowly and make sure the sides are tucked in the only "slack" will be on the console side of both front seats. This is hidden between the seat and console when you re-mount the seats and looks very nice when finished. I will add that the only real way to do this right is to remove the seats....no other way around that I believe.

    I will try to get a few pics tonight and post them later and for those who got the charcoal you should be suprised at how well it matches the inside of the factory dash....I really like the new look.

    Seems like more than a few people have said that you need to take the seats out to install the WO covers. Two questions - (1) How much work is involved in removing the seats (2) Is there anyone who hasn't removed the seats that wishes they had?

    I got my email shipping confirmation yesterday so I should be wrestling with the covers by late next week.

    This is exactly why I was making such a big deal out of not getting a confirmation email! (which I still haven't received!)
    The wait is far too long to not know for sure that they got the order correct.
    Hopefully they'll make it right. I'm gonna try to call them and check on my order, anyone know if they're open on Saturdays?

    I called them earlier, they said mine will be shipping out Monday. :bored:
    I don't know why it took so long since I was one of the first to order but hopefully I'll have better luck than Packerfan

    Are you talking about the back seats? Looking at the instructions it appears the back is the only seat you have to remove. Thanks.

    ^^^That's exactly what I got, except my TRD logo says Off Road. I'm getting REALLY excited about putting them in. (Are your rear headrest covers on backwards?)

    Nice job, and good color choice!

    When I said the only way to do this was to remove the seats I was talking about the front seats as I did not get the rears for my access cab.

    Maybe some members have smaller hands than myself however I tried with the seats bolted inside the truck and could not get the straps weaved through all the brackets and such. I am sure it has been done (as many have said so) however I just can not imagine how.

    I will say that these covers do not "look" like the seat covers I am used to. There is nothing cheap about these covers nor the way they fit. The smell is a little weird at first however it is slowly fading away. Honestly I think I like these covers best not for the ability to resist water but more so for the looks. The black and charcoal sets off the black accents inside my truck and changed the whole interior theme....I really like these covers.

    So in light of other members making the mod work without removing the seats I will say I was wrong and see that it can be done....I just did not have the patience or small enough hands to pull it off.

    I removed my front seats just so I had room to work. I hate to have to be in an uncomfortable position to work when I could take the seats out in just a couple of minutes.

    It's because they're making REAL seat covers from quality materials not knock-off bullshit.
