    Any special tips on where to route the straps under the power drivers seat? Lots of wires and servos down there, so I don’t want to break anything. Also, are you supposed to tuck the covers in between the seat and the plastic surround, or leave it on to of the surround to protect it? Thanks in advance, and happy Thanksgiving!

    I got the CoverKing neosupreme seat covers but I'm sure they will be similar.
    I found to get the straps under and closest to the seat bottom raising the seat gave more space to route the straps under.
    I worked my cover under the plastic surround. I found its easier to start working it in from the center of the truck as there is a place where it ends by the center console.
    Hope that's helpful.

    Yeah, I tried that but my main issue is I can’t tell what safe to rout the strap below or what it needs to go above. The side strap is also pretty tricky to get on, as well as the back left corner of the driver seat fabric. I’m sure none of the other seats will be this hard since they’re not power.

    The drivers seat was the toughest one for me to get with the CoverKing neosupreme too.
    Does wet olke have any kind of customer support team you could ask? I can't imagine they don't as much as wet olke costs over what I got.

    They do, so I’ll probably reach out and see if they have any tips. I’m just spoiled by the 30 second response time of the TW experts

    Seems like not many get seat covers and most on here don't have the power seat yet.

    Did you get in touch with Wet Okole, about the power seats; and if they suggest over or under on the plastic surround. I just received my seats today(Sunday) and was doing install. Got the seats popped out and didn't really want to wait until tomorrow to finish up (call them), it's suppose to rain. Not that it's that big a deal to pop the 4 bolts, it makes life much easier to remove bolts and just tip seat back to get underneath.
    It sure seems like a lot of material to put under the plastic trim and get proper movement on seat front up and down. For now I may just go over trim.

    Unbolt the seat, tilt back, play with switches. Observe what parts are actually moving. Tighten straps under any moving parts.

    The Wet Okole driver covers do NOT fit under the plastic seat trim on a 21. They physically can be put under the front trim, but if you adjust the seat up or down (tilt) the front left corner will separate and look like dog shit. I had mine under for 2 weeks and had to pull out today and route over the top of the plastic, now the neoprene covers all the switches and strap goes direct across the lumbar switch.

    I don’t recommend Wet Okole unless they redesign the power seat.
