Seat covers
I got new seat covers that look great from PFYC.com. There are clips & straps that are to go rear to front under the seats to be connected. I find this more than a challenge. Ther is no room under the seats. I tried a peice of wire but it bent and would not pass from front to back. Has anyone had these and know the trick?

Nice looking seat cover ~ I haven't attempted to install a set... given the tolerances/limited space ~ it may be easier just to unbolt the seat/rail to attach the clips/straps

Here is one more thread when I had my seats out so that new inserts could be installed in them. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...-no-seats.html

Vette nut the best way to install these would be to take the seats off I would think the seat covers would fit tighter and you would have more pull on the straps that way. I am planning on ordering the same covers in simulated leather so please post pictures.

The problem with fishing around under the seat is the electrical connectors. It is very difficult to get the straps tight AND you may get one or more of the connectors caught in the strap and put too much stain on the wires/connectors. I took my seats out and got the cover straps nice and tight ... allows for a much smoother fit.
