Fitting Seat Covers Kakadu

[KJA Member Find all posts View Profile Close KJA]

I have jsut purchased a set of MSA seat covers for the front seats. I tried to put on the drivers bottom cover (After getting the back on) and can't see how to remove the plastic seat trim around the base to get the cover over the seat. Can anyone give me some clues. With the electric controls I don't want to just go blindly in.

Just to finish this off. I persisted with the fitting and after a lot of grunting and Four letter words I was able to push the tapes of the covers through the gap between the trim and the seat very carefully without taking the trim off. All except the back across tape on the drivers side. Just stuck this down the side of the seat and trim. It was very tight so i think it will stay. I had even rung MSA for advice and they couldn't help. anyway covers are on and they look great. The grey and black colour compliments the the graphite colour and black interior.
Anyway am now happy.

KJA,

I initially used the same method, swearing and grunting, to fit wetseat covers to our VX.

I ended up using a thin wooden spatula to push the cover between the seat and the plastic cover you mentioned, that made the second seat much easier.

I took them off after our Fraser trip, they'd done their job, re-fitted them Saturday for a fishing trip, it only took about 10 minutes using the spatula.
