I got a set of seat covers to reupholster the bench seat. I installed one (wrong) and took it off at which point i realized the other half was different. Just hoping the more intelligent people in this forum than I am can assist.

One side has flaps that are consistent all the way around the cover. The other has the stitching which ends at a flat cut with some foam exposed.

My initial thought was the 360 flaps went on the bench, and the other cover was for the backrest. Welcome advice.
(No, instructions didn't come with the kit)

My guess would be the section with the pleats all the way to the end would be the bench part and the pleats would go to front toward seat riser. That way the pleats are visible on front of bench. John

That was my best guess too. Thanks John

I agree with Johnny N. At least that is the way my seat is.
