Great Seat Covers

[Rangerous44]

I bought these as well

I bought the coverados too, they look great. How did you run the straps to the back, I have a 2024 xlt and there doesn't seem to be a way to run the straps underneath for either the upper or the lower part, also where did you connect the hooks for the lower part

I just received the Coverados the other day and noted the extra work needed to get around the wires and fabric. What solution did you end up finding? Looks like I'll need to disconnect airbags and likely have to remove the seat itself. Would like to do a little more research before I dig into that. Thanks

I didn't need to disconnect anything just took a bit to fish the straps through the split in the seat.

Could you please elaborate on the whole process? You're talking about the Coverados right? To make sure the chucks are all the way through you would need to pull from the back, and the slip that covers the gap there is tied underneath the seat and one of the ties is completely blocked by the airbag wiring. Did you just push them in as deep as possible and hope for the best? If that is all that is needed I'm fine with that, I just want to try them out before I just return them. They seem kind of loose already which could be a no go for me so I'm just trying to see if they're actually secured somewhere behind the seat.

Thank you

Originally I got frustrated and your thought about hoping for the best was my plan. I came back the next day it had at it again. After some work I was able to push the toggles through the seat avoid all the wiring. I routed them under the seat towards the sides of the cover underneath the seat. It wasn't easy but I was able to push them through and connect them. Mine are tight and don't move at all.

OK weather is pretty miserable here but managed to take a couple hours to get the covers on the driver seat. I really see what people mean about removing the seat and disconnecting the wiring. Originally I thought I had it in place but the chuck was actually holding onto the airbag wiring in the seat, so had to change that. Also having the 400w inverter, airbag connector, and hook for cover strap all in the exact same spot is brutal.


The clips for the bottom cover is the deal breaker now, is there a good way to get them flush? The cover will not sit in place either wrapped around the angle adjustment bar or below it and wrapped under the plastic molding. It seems like only way to get it straight so it doesn't catch when getting in the truck is by feeding it through the angle adjust mechanics and that seems like it would cause more problems - if even possible.



Will probably return them if I can't get them to fit reasonably well. I've been suffering from nerve pain in my hands recently and just cannot fit my hands in these spaces while maintaining the amount of tension these covers need. I'm also concerned for longevity with the plastic bits being under so much stress.

Have you had any issues with them canuckranger? Is it worth continuing to mess with these? Or am I missing something obvious?

I tucked the toggles under the covers on the back. I've not seen any issues with the toggles lasting. One did come loose which required some more work to get reconnected. They've lasted well so far.
