Push the armrest in at the swivel point (push in hard) while rotating up and toward the rear of the seat (180 deg from the normal down position).

We took our seats out (4 bolts each) and worked in our heated garage. For our replacements we needed access to the underside to place the hog-rings.

We didn't use any spray adhesive and ours are holding up just fine. 6 months and one trip (Florida, I-10 across the southern states, Carlsbad, Grand Canyon, Colorado, Wisconsin, then back to Florida)

Where to get seat covers?

Our Georgetowne with only 9000 miles already needs seat covers. Where did you get them from?

I replace mine a couple of days ago,they look nice.On one set of covers half of the clips was missing.took them off the old and sew on to the new.I sew the bottom on,did not have the tool to put the staples on.Use some heavy fishing line.

Also I had to take the foam form the top of the old and put in the new.Cut a slit in the new to put the foam in.

Just curious, is the quality of the oem seat cover so bad? We are considering purchasing a Georgetown and this would make me re- think that purchase.
