Marathon Seat Covers

Well I pulled the trigger on a set of these SWEET covers. I chose the Mossy Oak Break Up pattern since it was available and my pattern of choice. They arrived and were quickly put in place on the truck. I quickly found myself tweaking the fit here and there on the seats. Now the covers fit snug, but for my taste I had to have them just right for me. I spent about 3 hours putting them on front(40/20/40 to include the center stowage top) and the rear (60/40 with the armrest cover and headrests). I had them sew in 2 extra pockets on the back of the front seats for the rear riders and their stuff. I will give the installation instructions a 9 and the cover construction a 10. I found the velcro a bit of a challenge in some spots and really easy in other areas.

Overall installation procedure ease for the front: Passenger and Driver upper seat backs= 10, bottom sections=8 (If you don't have power this may be easier), center upper=8, center lower=9

the rear: headrests=10, passenger side 20 upper and lower=9, drivers side 80 upper w/arm rest= 6( due to the material tucks into the pocket the arm rest does, I had to raise and lower the seat back adjusting the tightness of the velcro quite a number of times to get the arm rest where it will pull out easily), drivers side lower 80= 9.

I wanted these to look like they are the actual seat covering from the factory so I made an effort to keep the fabric nice and tight. So the extra time paid off and I really like the look and fit of the covers. Could I have put them on and been happy with the fit, yes. Do I think I spent too much time on the small details, yes BUT the time spent was well worth the overall appearance.
