These are very nice looking covers. I have an old F150 extended cab, so the seatbelt retractor is mounted on the seat instead of on the cab wall. This posed an issue when installing the seat cover. I ended up having to remove the lower seat belt strap, as well as the pass-through mechanism cover that is located on the shoulder of the seat. Once removed, I pulled the seat cover tightly over the seat to gauge where I needed to cut the seam on the cover to make a hole for the pass-through mechanism. Once I had the hole cut just big enough, I fed the lower part of the seat belt through the new hole and pulled the cover tightly over the seat. Once I had the seat in place, I installed the mechanism cover which gave me a nice clean look. After that was done, I re-attatched the belt to the seat.
Because of the design of my seats, the covers needed to be modified slightly to work, but honestly it took me all of maybe 30 minutes to do both seats.
The end result looks fantastic and really spruced up the front interior. My driver's seat was ripped, but now with the cover, it is not noticeable and looks great.
The cushions are comfortable, however, the mesh pattern I could see being slightly rough on bare legs when wearing shorts. The covers themselves don't really add any cushioning to your seat, so if your seat is already flat or uncomfortable, these won't help that, they are really only for aesthetics.
The only other issue I had was with the headrest covers. My headrests are pretty big, so even fully stretching the cover over the rest, it doesn't quite go to the bottom. Not really a big deal given the overall look is still a huge improvement over the old, uncovered seats.
Overall I am very happy with these. I thought about returning them due to my seat belt configuration, but knowing how simple it was to rectify, I am very glad I gave these a shot. Now I am considering buying the matching rear bench cover. I also will need to find a black over for the middle console to finish the look out .
