Yes, Todd, they should slip right on, The only hang-up is if he has armrests on his doors such as n Westies. Since the seats have armrests already, the ones on the door have to come off. The other issue is the seat bottom thickness. Westy seats are thinner so they can accommodate the seat swivels. Ultimately, they all share the same track and are essentially interchangeable.
