Default leather side view mirror covers from afterthoughts

if you have these on your vehicle, could you tell me if you had/are having as much trouble with the passenger side cover as me? is there some trick to getting it to seat correctly? the driver's side went on fine, but the other side is a PITA!

Mine are direct from the manufacture cologan here is the passenger side

My passenger side went on pretty good, I left it sitting out in the hot sun for two hours so it would stretch when I put it on.



And both

Leather bra does more damage than good, if you want stone chip protection look into some of the 3M stuff

Never had a problem with the bra on any of my cars I still use a bra on my 96 DGGM Impala SS no scratches or paint issues, same with the bra from the Z never ad an issue during love bug season it's a life saver as well as long trips. The bra is off when it's not love bug season, or I am taking a long trip
