I'll take a bunch of pics; I can send them to you if you'd like a Moderator to add them to your post, and/or I can post 'em in the thread.
Great response....thanks for the help!

The article is worth reading but the installation parts are outdated if you use the DMCH covers. When you read the article and look at your new seat covers you'll see that you don't reuse any of the wires. Also, the lower seat does not use hog rings to pull the covers tight in the grooves. It will make more sense when you are looking at them.
I'm not sure if I'm seeing what jives with this or not.
Mine do not have ribs sewn in, they have sleeves that very much resemble the original configuration. I'm also not finding any plastic strips.

That does not look like the ones I purchased earlier this summer. Instead of sleeves, there is fabric sewed to plastic. You pull the plastic through the foam and lay it flat against the foam and that is what holds the seat bottoms in place. For yours, use the info in the writeup mentioned above.
Have fun ... and wear gloves when pulling the old hog rings!
I've got those exact same covers as the picture. It's the seat bottom cover right? The backrest covers did have the sewed plastic lines for the headrest and inserts.
Thanks Jim,
I found two circles on each side; one of the loops hangs out the end of the sleeve so no need to cut out for that one.
The confusion is due to his seatcovers being a different style than mine (his doesn't use the bolster wires, if I'm folllowing correctly.)
I'm almost done....this is no fun, but it's looking good!
Oh yea, I forgot one side stuck out the end. Nick's covers also confused me when he was telling me about them. Must have been a recent production change.
I'm late to this informative thread.... I think they were a production change. I am installing DMCH seat covers currently that I got a while ago. The date stamped on the underside was 11 07 14. Here are 2 pictures of the rigid plastic tabs.

I'll post my experience that adds to the information already posted.
