I finally swapped out the cheap OEM seat cover for a custom Jet Trim. No more sliding off! Jet Trim jettrim.com/ Stapler www.amazon.com... Staples www.amazon.com...
I just put the JetTrim on my 2018 FX SVHO Cruiser. Was surprised at how easy it was. Took about 3 weeks to get the seat covers in which was super fast. It took about 30 min per seat and that was taking the staples out. I bought a staple remover that it’s like the back of a claw hammer but on a screw driver. So I can pry and it will pull the staples without having to use anything else. According to their instructions, If your original seats didn’t have the hold down tab straps, like yours since it doesn’t have raised areas, you keep the original cover on to waterproof the foam. If it has the straps, like mine since it is raised in areas, you have to use a bag to cover the foam. I ended up getting a roll of the slick film they used originally and put it over my seat. Stapling everything back on only took about 5 minutes. And I got the same stapler as you. Worked awesome. I got the marine staples, but they wouldn’t sit flush and just ended up using the stainless ones. I can’t wait to get mine out on the water. Due to your grip video, I order the grips and the extender from Worx and they should be here today. ODI is close to me, about 20 minutes away. But when I went to get the grip extender, it also had the grips on their site too. I also ordered their trim extender for my ski.
I bought the knee pads from my local dealer but used Babbitt's online parts list for a 21 base EX to get them in black. www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/a/yam/5f90538e87a86609e496c857/engine-hatch-1

Nice. Glad everything worked out. How did the grips work out?
Good video, do you have a link for the knee pads?
