I've installed them a few times.

Depending on which seats you have, there will or will not be a wire system present that you simplly attach too.

You can just cut off the old ones, and it'll give you a good idea of how they install.

There is a metal frame inside the foam that you can use the supplied metal tie downs, which I did the first time, and highly recommend using zip ties. Much easier, quicker install. Less chance of ripping the new covers as well being you won't be stuffing some sort of crimp tool down there to get it tight.

Either or, just replace that wire system into the new covers. If it lacks the wire system, pick up some flexible steel line and you'll have to create one. Pretty easy. The bottom portion of the seat will require 2 small holes cut in the cover once you have it fully tied down. This is to reinstall the bottom portion to the frame base. You do not need to completly disassemble the seat, just the front 2 bolts on the bottom, and then take the top portion off if you so desire.

The top portion of the cover may or may not be larger then the seats you have, being these were fitted for the ST-205. If you have a USDM version you may need to stuff the top portions a little with cottom or foam to fill it out. The bottom fits perfect.
