two people and a really good staple gun as well as a case of brewski.. good luck they are a pain in the rear..

oh, i was trying by myself with zero brewski's.

 

[super noober]

you are going to need a REAL good staple gun. i got a shop to install mine for $20. for that price its weeeeeeell worth it IMO.

i think i will pay the 20 to get it installed. I went with the nstyle cover for 26 bucks. I hope it holds up ok.

 

[sheeblast]

just get a good staple gun and make your girl help.

im having trouble getting it completely flat

If you can't do it then deff pay someone who can. I bought a FX gripper seat and can't get it straight for the life of me, even letting it sit in the hot sun on a 85* day I still can't get it to stretch enough.

thats exactly what was happening to me. I left it out in the sun for about an hour and still looked like yours.

We do them all the time and if you do not have the right tools then you will start to spit out words that will embarras a trucker. The trick is to stretch it from front to back first and do no stop stretching when the seams are lined up. There are times that you have to tuck the seams under the seat pan. Once you get the hang of it it will be nothing to install them.

i tried that from front to back and failed horribly. I think ill just have to pay.

i installed one a while back and they are a pain. it took me and my dad with a heavy duty staple gun. but yeah once you get them in place, stretch them some more cause they will shrink.
