By the seams you mean the edges?

With the edges, I think you definatly have to use wire in all the bits that have that loop made out of material!

What I did was cut that loop into smaller sections at each corner and insert wire... You will also need to do that for the back seats. Cut the loop material that is on the edge at each corner, and have wire running through that loops

That way the cable ties don't tear the fabric.

I didn't remove them... i just took the seat out of the car... 4 bolts... and then I took the bottom of the seat off... Another 4 bolts...

Does anyone know what adhesive or glue to use on the door trim?

I'm pretty happy with the seats, they are nice, my 2 only slight concerns are that they are not as durable as the stock ones, like as in i can't have dogs sitting on em, and second they do get a little bit hot... especially in direct sunlight... but that's all alright by me...

They look good!

Borris: FUKEN AMAZING!!! I've notcied most of your work on your car, is just flat out great! I'm downloading the zip now.

here is some pics of my job, i was going to take some lastn ight as im making it, but i was in a big rush to go out when i finished, and thought we could just use boris pics to make a guide
anyways here is the finished product

G_A_V · Post by **G_A_V** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 6:51 pm

btw havent installed seatbelt guides yet

Boris · Post by **Boris** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 7:09 pm

Looks Good Gav. Youc could of probably made it fit better. But I know you aren't gonna go all the way back! I know I wouldn't

The guides are easy:

Step 1:
Feel around for the large square hole that the hook goes in. Make a hole.

Step 2:
Put in the hook into the hole, and put on the guide. Make sure you give it a forcefull push towards the middle of the seat.

Step 3:
Put in the screw and with putting some pressure on to it, start doing it up. This will work because of the design of the screw, which will automatically make a hole for itself.

If it doesn't then the guide is not on properly, and you will have to re-do step 2.

*tip* for those who accedently removed one of the metal guides beneath the foam (i did one)
put a tiny hole in the foam toping through the the closest metal support and use one or more cable ties going from the cover through the foam to the metal guide

hehehe... I took pictures... of that incase anybody asked... but never put em up. Here is one. By doing this, it actually gives you a heaps tighter fit!

Btw guys,

Does any one know how to maintain this material?

Like is there any thing you can use to maintain the condition of the material?

If you know of any thing please let me know.

Also, I think it's great that people are sharing ideas and what to do as I for one don't really know how to go about fitting these covers on.
Will find out soon I guess.

Just waiting to get some stitching done on the covers before putting them on...Will show you when I'm done.
