Default Bucket seat piping

Any one try the A 132YK molded set from ames..............i got mine the other day, looks like the top parts will fit halfway decent.................for the bottom of the seat, they look quite a bit off..............instructions say to use a hair dryer to help mold it........seems like some serious bending is needed here, i dont know.

Any tips on getting these on without wrecking them.

I purchased and installed the 132YK set from Ames last summer and didn't have any problems. I just assessed where the bends were made, mocked things up loosely to see where I needed to cut to length, then trimmed as needed and installed. I didn't need to apply any heat, but I could see that being helpful.
