I'm sure this has been covered a million times before but what the heck, might as well add one more.
This is for the long bench seats on a '72, with the beveled side to clear the front seats (not sure if all long benches are like this?).
Overall the quality seems good, both foam and covers although admittedly, I'm no expert in this area.
I tried a few different methods but for me, they went on easiest by placing the foam in the cover, letting it sit in the sun for a while until it got good and warm/ pliable and then fitting it in the seat

I watched a bunch of videos and write ups on how to do it but the one thing that was never really clear for me was how to run the wire. The kit came with high tension wire to support the flap. Cut to length and slide it in and pull to tension. Hole punch to open the material and then place the screw. I started in the middle and then did the outside edge so that I could keep the material straight for the entire run

This was my one grip about this 'kit' especially for what they cost: I specifically ordered the set for my model year etc but the bottom cushion and cover are not really cut correctly for these benches. As I said before, this have an angle on the bottom bench to clear the seats however, the foam and cover are made with square ends. Given my past experiences with SOR customer service I kinda figured it would be a loosing battle to bring it up. I would be told that either I made the mistake or 'that's the way they are'.
I was able to fudge them enough to where, in my opinion, they were good enough and probably would pass most inspections.
