Front covers just delivered, still waiting on the backs to arrive. It was getting dark when I started the install but had to stop because I couldn't get the velcro flaps from the front-top and front-bottom to push through the split in the seat cushions. Admittedly, I have hulk hands but DAMN that is a tight squeeze. I couldn't push them through so I looped rope through those little tabs to attempt to pull from behind towards the back. I was pulling so hard I felt like it would tear if I pulled any harder. The tabs make it through but there is still quite a bit of slack in the front seat, definitely not slipping through as it looks like it has for everyone else. Any idea what I could be doing wrong or how to install that step any better? Thanks guys.
PS: Other than frustration to install, the quality and look is amazing!

I used a really large, really dull flathead screwdriver to push mine through from the front.the Velcro is so heavy duty that it gets caught up on the seat and won't slide through. I'd probably use packing tape before I'd use duct tape, since it has less glue and would therefore be less likely to leave residue on your covers.
