I got some custom seat covers from ebay - arrived today.  Great price for front and back. All very nice and all the various appetures seem to be in the right place but....
I am NOT a contortionist and I can't get the things on. How is a person meant to reach the ties, let alone tie them?  Any ideas???  Any hints?  How has anyone done this?  I have been crawling around for the last hour and have one seat half covered.  I may cry any moment now.

Others have fitted them  - and slashed their hands doing it. Apparently there's some sharp edges down there so be careful.
I'll be fitting mine after I get them on Fathers Day.

Sorry ozwildflower.. but there is no easy way i'm afraid.. I am pretty solid and also find it hard to squeeze in behind the seat to reach and tie the straps...Just take your time and don't cut yourself on those sharp edges like myself and several others did...

[Brew69]

Yeah i cut myself nicely. No easy way. 2 person job made it a bit easier for me. You can unclip the bit at the back but then you need to hold it out the way when you try and tie them off under the seat. I am not looking forward to when mine need a wash lol.

[agentr31]

time and paitence... where are you located? if you cant do it im sure someone on here can help you...

[Dazzler]

Yeah i cut myself nicely.

That gives me another idea.. get someone you don't like to help you .. encourage then to feel around under the seat 

[agentr31]

hrmm

*imagines dazzler telling his foe "there is $100 tucked up in the frame of the seat*

Nice thought, thanks.  I'm actually thinking of asking Tweed Hyundai if they'll finish fitting them for me when it goes in for it's 1000km service shortly.  I seem to have 1 1/2 seats done..but haven't tackled the back yet. I've also noticed that a bit of the carpet under the brake has not been glued down - so they can do that at the same time.....maybe   Guess that is one good thing about crawling round fitting mats and seat covers..you find out if anything is 'wrong'.

I can't believe that you guys spend so much time, effort and money on making your cars look so awesome - then totally ruin the appearance by adding scruffy seat covers............

Is it to match the furry dice?...........

Hmmm, yep I have to agree with you AlanHo!
The seats in my SLX are great just as they are and very easy to keep clean.

[Shambles]

Seat covers are gay.

[agentr31]

Seat covers are gay.

hrmm... that confuses me... your from the UK... gay means happy in the UK!

so your saying my seat covers are as happy as larry?

[Shambles]

hrmm... that confuses me... your from the UK... gay means happy in the UK!

It means happy in the US

Seat covers are very 1970's over here, an era when gay did mean happy  

[agentr31]

It means happy in the US

ohh... so they are fighting for "happy marriage in California" not same sex as i thought *Rolls eyes* it all makes sense now!!

why would anyone want unhappy marriage?

LOL bead seat covers are 1970's! not the nice ones you get today...



*agent wonders if shambles thinks we all have these*

[AlanHo]

Just look at the earlier post showing these seat covers...



It makes the inside of the car look like some poor old biddy has decorated the car with bits of her old sofa. It is truly gruesome and an insult to an otherwise fine car.

Gerr'um off.................

[eye30]

Question:

Why buy a car with nice seats the cover then up?

[ozwildflower]

I've found another way to get them on...Customer Service 'phoned yesterday to ask me how I was enjoying the car and I mentioned the problems I was having with the seat covers.  The poor blokes in the service dept. are going to put them on for me.  I'll have to smile very sweetly and look helpless methinks or they may never forgive me.

Remember to take a good supply of body bags sticky plasters for them

If they are anything like the ones illustrated in the earlier post - a good splash of blood might brighten them up................

taxi drivers use those. 

[babis_xo]

Yeah, really comfortable
I can't imagine what happens if a joint snaps...

[agentr31]

best seat covers ever!!! they give you a massage, and allow your back and butt to breathe!!!

[Dazzler]

  They looked better in the flesh.. I have transferred them to our "lesser "car and switched them over so the airbag openning is on the inside of the seat (The wife's car doesn't have side airbags..) They are very comfortable...

I am quite enjoying the bare leather in the new car..

[agentr31]

yer i dont have seat covers on the maxima... leather + seat covers FTL...
