I was thinking of ordering that same sub. Sounds like you’re not particularly pleased with it though. I still have it in my Amazon cart.. lol

It’s ok, pretty good for an under seat sub. PM replied!
Edit: sub sold to Sam!

If there's no wear or other damage, I'd just power wash it, and let it dry.
It’s worn out in an area by the driver seat, and there’s some paint on it in the rear. Might not show in the pics. The new “ultra plush” with mass backing will be here Monday. Along with the new matching mats with maroon bow ties embroidered in. Too bad it’s supposed to be snowing by then.

I removed the covers from the drivers side front seat. I didn’t take many pictures, if you’re really curious you can head over to www.theseatshop.com and watch their corny install videos. One thing to note is the fact GM has gone to a different method of attaching them in the creases. Instead of hog rings or Velcro, there’s a few clip type things that snap around the round channels that are sewn into the covers. Just push on one side to open them up. Everything else just wraps around the foam and clips over the edges of the metal. The bottom foam comes off with the cover while on the back the foam stays on the frame. I follow TSS’s video advise on these. Can’t find anything on the rear bench seats but I don’t see a way to leave the foam on the frames since the cover slips over like a big tight sack instead of the way the fronts do. I had to buy a wide crown stapler from HF to attach the covers to the back pieces. The videos state to use 5/32” staples, and their ad stated the stapler shoots them. In store and in the manual it says 1/4” minimum, and they don’t sell the 5/32. I ordered some because the 1/4” ones protrude if I run them all the way in. We will see.

I HATE HATE HATE FedEX. Did I mention I HATE FedEx? That company is infuriating. Never on time. Never upfront. Their people do NOT have a clue what the fu*k is going on. No wonder Amazon dropped them. I hope they go under. First off, the seat cover dude sent the shit with a sig required, so I had to redirect it to a hold location, my local Kroger because it was supposed to come Friday. Then they made up a story about a weather delay between Cali and here when there were no storms. So it was scheduled for today. All day it’s been saying today delivery. I even called this morning to be sure, and the idiots reassured me it would be delivered today. Then an hour ago I noticed it said it was loaded on the truck for delivery the “next business day” ? So I called again and they tried to tell me that since I redirected it this morning ( I did that 4 days ago) it wasn’t coming today. And now the tracking says it’s been rescheduled for next fuc**ng Tuesday. Man I hate that company. FedEx suck my d*ck. Did I mention I HATE FedEx?

Weak. With the competition these days, they need to step the **** up!! I’ve been pretty disappointed with UPS as well lately. (Not just the Christmas season, but in general)

Oh and to top it off the sub was scheduled for delivery tomorrow (Sunday) and I KNEW FedEx doesn’t deliver on Sunday. So in my 2 calls to them I questioned them several times, and they swore to me they do, and in fact that would most definitely be delivered tomorrow. I asked them 3 times, are you absolutely SURE that will be delivered to my home on Sunday, and they said yes. Guess what? It’s just been rescheduled to next Tuesday too according to tracking.
