Default ceet cover install

I have decided to install my alba flame ceet cover. I have installed the stickers a while back and started on the cover yesterday. The gripper part looks great, but the shiny part with the graphics on it is a bear. How do you get all the wrinkles out? Any tricks/tips are GREATLY appreciated before I tear this thing to shreds. Thanks JOHN

I didn't get the Alba Seat cover but the one I put on was tough. I had to start at the front an work my way out the front "arms" stretching all the way. I would put in a couple staples to hold then work on one section, going back and forth until it was all tight. NOT FUN. The hardest part was getting the contour on the center part of the seat. It took A LOT of time. I actually spread it out over two days... partly because I'm lazy, and partly because I didn't want to end up killing someone over my frustration. Next time I'm sending it to Cascade, I've seen one of theirs and its nice.

seat covers are a hassle, time, muscle, and a bunch of staples.
It works best with at least 2 people man-handling it.

ditto to meaner....... heat it up. i put mine in the oven at like 120 degrees and it was easily pliable and streatched right to shape. once it was stapled and cooled down it was perfect.

I use the wifes hair drier it works great have one person stretching and stappeling and one person with the hair drier keeping it hot start at the front of the seat to the back then pull a few stapels here and there to tighten it up where needed you will break a good sweat between stretching and stapeling and the heat of the hair drier.
GOOD LUCKI.
