Default Cabella's TrailGear Seat Cover Instal - Disco I

I can't say enough good things about Cabela's TrailGear seatcovers - they look great - sturdy, ready for the trail as if they were made for a Land Rover. The installation is very simple and straightforward - hard to mess up - hard to over-think.

If you read no further - the number one tip for installing is to iron them before you install.

Even after hanging them up for several days, the wrinkles did not go away. So, applying a warm iron with steam made the difference between "good" and "great."

The only challenge had to do with fitting the strap that's supposed to go across the lower cushion. The Disco seat isn't built like the seat in the instructions...

So I ended up running the straps through the bottom cinches. It worked fine.

I ordered mine from Cabelas at Christmas and they were $19.99 each with free shipping.

The one piece back seat is back-ordered....

97's have the cushion style headrest, not the hoop, right? How does it fit around the headrest? I'm considering these for my 98.

I keep getting confused between my 96 disco and 97 explorer.

The seat covers fit real good on the rover, with the hoop style headrest. The sides are adjustable with the cord and elastic straps. Check out the pic above.

Ignore the pollen on the hood of the rover. That's normal for North Florida in January!

Yeah. Does anyone have these on a cushion headrest. Really I'd prefer that it just fit the bucket and not the headrest.

I guess since both are adjustable (right) you could then make them as large as possible to fill out the top of the cushion. Screw comfort...and I'm rarely using em anyway. I would think the cushion headrest would fit better as it seems to take up more space than the hoop.
