Default Seat Cover Install

Wasn't really sure if this topic fit here or not but then I figured that Seat covers do protect my Jeep when off road, sort of.....What I was wondering if anyone has install Coverking seat covers or any other one piece front seat covers and if so, is there a trick to getting them between the back of the seat and where you sit....My fingers won't fit to push it through and there seems to be a bar of some type there.....Does anyone have any tips or tricks they can pass on to me????

When I installed my Trek Armor's I found a post that suggested slipping a heavy plastic bag down between the seat sections first, that made getting the actual covers down there a great deal easier.

I haven't installed Coverking covers, so there might be something I'm missing. However, I did re-skin my seats with Katzkin leather. The trick with those is that you turn them inside out, start with the top of the cover and then roll them over the seat like a condom. My thought is this same technique should work for seat covers as well.
