Seat Backrest Condom

JakesBackyard:
Slipping the new cover on a split back bench seat backrest can be a real pain.  The cover is tight because the padding is a little larger than the cover and is supposed to fill out the cover when complete.  Here's how I do it:

Start by standing the backrest in its upright position.  Many have an outer bracket that will hook under a table top as in the picture.  Then get the cheapest trash bag available (preferably new).  Cheap means thin...the thinner the better.  39 gallon size works best. Have the new cover ready.

JakesBackyard:
Slip a shop vacuum hose up inside the backrest through the bottom opening.  Slip the trash bag over the backrest and tuck and fold over itself on the bottom.  It's not a big deal if it's not perfectly tight around the vacuum hose....it soon will be on its own. Turn on the vacuum and watch the backrest shrink to an unbelievable small size.

JakesBackyard:
Now with ease slip the new cover down over the backrest and position to fit nicely.
Turn off the vacuum and trim and tear the excess trash bag away.  It's no big deal if some remains inside.  It won't hurt a thing and in most cases won't show when done.

JakesBackyard:
Finish by attaching the bottom of the new cover and there it is.
