You put the trash bag over the foam to help the covers slide over the foam. Acts like a lubricant for the covers to slide on. When you get the covers all the way on, you pull the trash bags out from under the covers. The bags may have to be pulled out in pieces, but thats ok.

I used a hairdryer to warm up and help stretch seat covers to make them pliable when needed on certain areas...and a helper for a few minutes here and there.
I tried the cloths dryer at first but by the time I got to areas that needed stretched they had cooled back down. For me a cloths dryer just did not work well.
Trust me a hairdryer is the ticket when needed!
