I'm not sure how similar you car's seats are to the ones in my 87 560SL but I replaced mine last fall it was a JOB! I had the same problem as mentioned - the covers were very tight (I actually tore one of them in the process). A hint from a heighbor helped a great deal; cover the seats in plastic bags (the ones from the dry cleners worked best) and use a little talcom powder to help the covers slide on. After that pull and push the covers into position very gently and slowly. It took two of us a full afternoon to do one seat. Good luck.
