Rear covers are always fairly tight.
Fold the cover inside out, then lay it over the cushion. The "side" should be fairly close to the actual cushion sides.
The cover will stretch a bit.
Convertible back seats are like 4" narrower so it will be really obvious if they are for a convertible and not a HT.
Legendary writes the part number on a tag sewn to the bottom edge of their covers, so you can verify if its right or not.
As others have mentioned, put a thin plastic sheet between the cotton & cover to help it slide.
Start at the bottom corners/bottom edge for rear upper cushions.
F-Body rear bottom seats are a bit of a beyotch because of the listing tucks around the hump that have to get attached down through the padding.
If you are tempted to use foam instead of cotton like OE did- i wouldn't recommend it if its your first seat cover. I've done a bunch of them and they are a PAIN. Look great when they are done though.
below is a 68 firebird back seat I did a couple months ago.
