Do you need help to install your new seat cover?  Please follow the instructions below

• Warm the seat cover, and the seat, in the sun for a few minutes to warm it up and make it more stretchy. A hair dryer or LOW-level heat gun makes for a nice wrinkle-remover.*
• I highly suggest you remove your original staples, unless you think you can work around them. At a MINIMUM, remove all of the staples under the front tongue. I use a craftsman upholstry tool from Sears. I think it was a couple of bucks. *
• Center your cover side to side, and front to back.
• Tack one staple on each side, near the lowest place on the seat pan. 
• Tack a couple, on the back. Don't pull TOO tight, or you will rip out your locating staples (and the material) on the sides. 
• Now STEP BACK and inspect it. Is it centered? Do you have overlap on all four sides? Redo, if you are not happy... Inspect twice, staple once.
• Carefully, flip the seat over, and keep the cover even. Pull the sides a little tighter and install down each side. Flipping the seat occasionally to inspect for wrinkles. Make your way toward the back where the seat "wing" ends and the back rounded part of the seat starts. Inspect it again for wrinkles.
• Work your way toward the front, but stop at the sloping ears on each side. Inspect it for wrinkles every 4" or so.
• Now that the sides are tight, pull the back GENTLY to remove all the wrinkles. Staple about 10-15 across the back when you are finished just to keep it even and provide the correct tension for the front. you might be pulling on the front, pretty hard, and don't want to pull the cover too far forward.
• The front is where the long-nose stapler earns it's money. The gap between the front latch and the bottom of the seat pan is tight. At this point, you need to pull the material toward this area, and staple 10 or so locating staples. You may need a second set of hands, just to make it perfect. Don't staple those hands. :P 
• Time to step back and inspect your work. At this point, you should have something that resembles a nearly completed seat cover, but with the front ears hanging loose. You should NOT have very many large wrinkles left. If so, then inspect what the cover will look like when you pull the ears tight. If it still has wrinkles, then you may be looking to remove it, and start over.
