They give you a plastic bag to put over them which helps it slide (I learned this after I struggled for a whole LOL).
You can't remove the old leather because they injected the armrest with foam and it would all come apart so you slide the new ones over the old and it is a really tight fit. After an hour or so of struggling my hands were tired and I'm too old for this stuff.
The seats were not a big deal, I have to do the Denali next and will do headrest covers as well, gonna take headrest and armrests to the upholstery shop.
I'm learning to pick my battles.

The plastic bag is what you use to hook the vacuum to and suck the air out of the foam which makes them waaaay smaller so the cover slips on easy, just like the headrests. Just bag them, and use the end of the bag to get the vacuum to get a decent seal, and turn it on. I did a full Katzkin interior in my Silverado and without a vacuum and plastic bags I wouldn’t have been able to do headrests without that trick. You would be amazed how much smaller they are after you suck the air out of them. You can actually move the cover around and position it easy. Also essential for me was a steamer with a small diameter hose attached to it so I could get steam into the corners and seam areas after installing the saet covers. It makes the foam expand and tightens up the covers so there’s no wrinkles. These are the same tricks upholstery shops use. A helper with the vacuum would be good but I managed by myself pretty easy.

maybe not since this winter, the stuff blowing out is the oil in the Freon, if you look close you can see the cracks.

Installed this the other day I've had sitting in a file cabinet for a couple of years now.
