Wet Okole installation tips?

Just wondering if you guys had any tips to make installation easy? I know the covers are a very tight fit and I am worried about pulling them apart at the seams


Thanks!

Small hands are the only thing I've heard is needed. I had no trouble at all getting mine on. It's a pretty straight forward installation. My hands and arms are not small; so, as long as you're not a sasquatch, you shouldn't have any trouble at all.

I found out the seams aren't where they are the most likely to tear. Be careful about the actual material tearing while your griping it to stretch it on. I almost tore a spot on mine because I was clenching it and pulling at the same time. I felt it starting to give and quit pulling before I had a disaster.

Other than that, I had them on inabout 30 minutes to an hour. Your going to like them...they are top shelf in my opinion. I have spilled on them and the spill did not go through to my seats and then it wiped right off the seat covers looking good as new.

One more suggestion...you might want to let them air out a day or two before you put them in. That smell will go away, but it takes longer if you have to keep the truck closed up. I park in my garage so I was able to leave the windows down and allow them to de-stench.

Got them on tonight but have one question...

The middle of the backrests are "puffy". The velcro piece is all the way underneath it the way it supposed to be. Does this flatten out to normal after some use? The driver's side already starts to look flatter since I have driven it. No one has been in the passenger seat tho. Hopefully it will go away

Mine did the same thing and it bugged me also. They did relax after a couple months.

What color did you go with?

Tips

I just removed the seats and put them on in the garage. I know this isn't necessary but it gave me the chance the get everything pulled tight and tied without cutting up my hands.
