I completed my hardwire but broke the pins holding the fusebox panel in place. Were you able to remove that panel without breaking any of the pins? It seem so poorly designed that they easily break. My replacement panel broke a pin reinstalling it!

At least the replacements are not that expensive but you need to be careful on reinstall as well.

I sent the install instructions with the tracking info when I shipped these ...
I will send them again, but please email me, so I send it to the correct email address ... Honestly it’s very simple

I have the same question regrading the long velcro piece. Mine did not come with instructions. How about posting them here? Also, any advice for lining up the stitching for both pieces? From the pics posted it seems like others are having the same challenge. Thank you and they look great otherwise.

Just send Ed an email or PM and he'll forward you a set of instructions. That's what I did before I bought mine.

Haha I didn’t want to call anyone out but some of these installs look *rough*. Take your time and pull everything TIGHT.

For stitching that falls to the outside of the seat go under the seat cushion and position the Velcro further inboard. And pull all that stuff down TIGHT. Let me inspire you:

I have a brand new set of these for sale with platinum grey stitching, if interested. Unfortunately I won't be using them. Ed did an amazing job, as everyone has said:

+1 for Ed - great guy, great product. These 991/981 buckets are so nice and so expensive to replace, these bolster protectors are great in keeping the vulnerable seat leather looking like new as the cars are in use.

Nice looking but I have a few questions. Some of the installs look pretty good but some show creasing, so is the installation a bit challenging? Some people are having problems reinserting the seat switch, is that a fairly common issue?

I think if you go back a few pages, you will see that putting on these covers is really not a big challenge On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 5
I am not sure what you mean by creasing ? ...
If a number of those who posted issues with installing had read the email I sent ( With the instructions ) I think it would have been a breeze to install these
Maybe some who posted earlier can chime in .... But if you go thorough this thread, I think you we have the answers to your questions?
If you have any other questions please feel free to email me
ed@pencom.com
Best regards
Ed
