Seat covers are pretty straight forward, but how do you get the headrest covers over the rods??   ::)

Mine have a zip along the bottom, very tight fit over the foam
but look good when done.

You will have to remove the metal insert (with rods) from the foam first. Next, put the new cover over the foam piece. After re-covering the foam put the metal piece back in.

Thanks, I got it. No need to take out the metal, but it is a bit tight to get the first side on!
