    Most any Upholstery shop could do it for you or a mechanically inclined friend it is not that hard to install. Your dealer just lost 1hr of labor.

    Shame on the dealer. What a wuss!

    You don't mention what model/year Spyder you have.

    Prior to 2014 RTS install was a little more difficult in that a hole had to be cut in the seat.

    If you are talking 2014 RTS--the seat plug makes installation so easy that a non mechanic can do it.

    A little more information if possible.

    The driver back rest takes about1/2 hour to install, most instructions are good.

    If you were near me I would do it for free. I put mine on in about 30 minutes. It's super easy. Only scary part is cutting into the seat!
    Once your past that, it is very easy.
