Not a fan of covers, but these seem to fit perfectly. Can they be used with 6-point-harnesses?

Workmanship is great! Materials are spot on! Ed is OCD on anything he works on. Must have for LWB. Thanks again Ed!

Doesn't hurt to ask. More people may jump in on it. Anyways, am I looking at the pictures right in that they cover over almost the entire side of the seat and not just the small area towards the back of the seat?? If it is, I couldn't tell between the OEM and Eddies. Nice job.

It's a two part package. The first piece covers the larger "forward" portion of the side bolster. It has deviated stitching as OEM. To install, one removes the seat switch trim piece and slides the cover on from the front, like a boot. It is then secured with several straps and an ingenious clip that secures it in place. (Oh yeah, reinstall switch trim piecel). The second piece wraps around the smaller, rear, portion and attaches similar to OEM. Some thought this would look good in deviated stitching even though not OEM. This gets more wear as, in my case, I roll left leg over this rear portion, support with left hand on door sill, right hand on wheel, and PUSH up and out......
Note: any other exit options greatly appreciated

Hey Guys
I can't tell you how good you guys make me feel !
Thank you so much for chiming in and giving you assessment.
I took on this project because all of us wanted a better more competitively priced mouse trap ..
Without your trust and support I think I would have been toast
Thanks so much again...
It seems all the questions were answered
Sorry Fred that you had a bit of an issue, with getting on the switch bezel
I think we made the first ones a little to tight in that area
That I believe has been corrected .. I wish you called me, as I gave all of you my phone #
If any of you have any other questions please let me know
Love you guys !!
Regards
Ed

No, don't be silly. They were a numbered limited edition series. I'll sell you mine for 3k above list.
