I've had these for a few months now and they are great! People think they are factory leather. I was having a little trouble with the bottom cover wanting to shift forward leaving a gap. But I just did your trick of using just one disc tying the back and bottom together on each side, (for a total of two discs per seat instead of four) and that solved the issue! Now they are perfect! Thanks for the tip. Nice job on the video. I have subscribed. 😊👍

@escheidl8 ай бұрын
@@upthecreekyt They have held up well. I just wish they were an inch or inch and a half longer on the seat bottoms. I'm always having to re-adjust them and pull them back to cover the exposed gap where the seat bottom meets the bottom of the back. That is the only issue I have with them. Hopefully they're cutting them longer now.

Excellent tips for fitting seat covers! That issue with hiding the gap on non-powered passenger seats is universal, but I found a simple why, to fix it. You just need 3 pieces of black elastic and, 3 of those metal hook retaining clips. Either get the elastic from the straps on old seat covers you are replacing, or you can get it from a craft store. Make a loop with the elastic and sew the non-loop ends to the inside edging of the new seat cover at that gap area - attach one where the seat bottom cover will slip behind the reclining handle, and another one 1/2 the way between and the 3rd just before where the seat edging wraps around to the front of the seat bottom. Attach the metal hook clips to each of the 3 elastic loops and feed under the plastic edge & hook them under the seat. Is it being OCD...yea, probably but, it's worth that little extra step, to get that same clean and smooth look, on both the drivers and passenger side.

Just installed front seat covers on my Tacoma. Your video was a big help. One suggestion I have to expedite attaching the metal clips under the front of the seat is to locate a good metal bar or hole in a piece of metal in the proper location and fasten a zip tie there and just clip onto the zip tie.

I just ordered a front set from luckyman and have watched a few install/ review videos. They all look good, but they all have the little imperfections you mentioned due to improper install. I'm so glad I found this video and now I'm even more excited for my covers to arrive. I'm now confident that they'll look amazing Edit - they look so good! I never thought relatively cheap seat covers would make my interior look even better. They look just as good and factory as in this video. Highly recommend to anyone still on the fence. I went with one that cover the sides. Not sure I would have looked the one with the entire side uncovered. They still have a pocket for the side air bag

I saw this one video on seat covers where the guy was showing off how great his seat covers are. I think they were from Luckyman Club. Anyway, it was weird because there was this huge black stain on the supposedly brand-new seat cover - driver's side. As to this guy, it's really inspirational to see how he overcomes his handicap as an amputee and dopes the installation one-armed - kudos for not allowing the loss of an entire arm to get in your way.

I purchased these covers after watching your video! I found that in order to reinstall the clips that you removed at 4:30, required me to remove the seat as my hand couldn’t fit under there to clip them back in to the factory location. It also allowed me to make sure the front clips were anchored correctly under the seat making sure not to anchor to a cable. No need to remove the seat from the truck but having that extra room by tilting the seat, was key for my installation.

I found it necessary to unbolt the seats but not bother to remove them entirely, just tip them forward or backward, in order to get access. Not a big deal - very simple and made the process so much easier (for me). Something I found different on my 2012 Tacoma was that my driver's seat was exactly as your video showed (needed to release the clips from the bottom flap of the factory seat in order to pass the 'pucks' through) - however, the passenger side did not require that step at all - the 'pucks' simply pass through between the upper/lower sections of the new covers. Pretty odd they'd make them different.
