Default quick seat cover question

I am thinking of ordering the neoprene seat covers that mid america carries in their book are they really truly easy to put on or is going to be like some other mods that i have done where it tells you 60 min to do the job and it really takes 2 or 3 hours?I guess with these covers no seats are taken out and the original covers stay on ,the new cover then goes over the original cover.......Thank you charlene

I've never used that style cover but I did use a set of used sheepskins before I did the new leathers. I don't know that you'll have to take the seats out but I will assure it the job will be 100% easier if you do. There are just 4 bolts and a connector to remove each seat.

That's what i have on the car now sheepskin seat covers in fact i just washed them yesterday.But the ones you can slip on seem to look really nice and according to the mid america ad they just slip on over the original cover...........

It would probably be easier to take the seats out and then install the covers. If they install anything like the Wet Okoles, it sure would be easier.

I thought about them but I really didn't like the bag over the seat appearance (sorry, to ea their own). for about $750 you can design your own custom leather covers from leatherseats.com like I did and it is not only original but imho it's better looking than original. Here's a pic of mine. I did blk/wht since my top is wht.
