My wife and I spent a good hour working on this and finally got it to go on without any wrinkles or slack. At first I thought there was no way it would go on. Blow dryer and elbow grease got it on there.

You guys manage to get them on yours slack free?

I have read that it is important to let them sit out in the sun and warm up and "relax"
before wrestling them on.
I  too need a new seat cover and am looking for a n-style cover to match my graffixs

you use steam to streach it out. Take it to a upholstry shop they know how to do it right.

i see you have a stanley elec. staple gun. i had one of those, ticked me off so bad that i threw it away. what a pile of crap. tried to put a cover on my seat with it and it wouldn't drive the staples into the plastic pan, even though i had it turned to the highest setting. your cover looks good. i would suggest throwing seat covers in the dryer for a few minutes and take them out into the hot sun to put them on. on a side note, anyone know of a small air gun that accepts 1/4" staples. i can't find an air gun that will accept the short staples and i just wont use longer than 1/4" on a seat cover.
