Proper installation ensures your new seat covers fit perfectly and last longer. Follow these detailed steps:

Pre-Installation Preparation

  1. Clean the entire seat area thoroughly to remove debris.
  2. Study the cover’s labeling (e.g., headrest, backrest, cushion) to identify correct placement.

Rear Seat Installation

  • Split-Type Rear Seats:
  1. Cushion: Align the cover, pass included straps/clips through seat gaps, and secure underneath.
  2. Backrest: Slip the cover over the backrest from top to bottom, using hooks/clips to fasten to the frame.
  3. Additional Securing: Reinforce connections between backrest and cushion for a seamless fit.

Front Seat Installation

  1. Headrest Removal: Detach headrests and insert them into the cover’s pre-cut openings.
  2. Backrest Cover: Slide the cover onto the backrest, aligning seatbelt slots and other openings.
  3. Cushion Cover: Position carefully around adjustment buttons to avoid functional interference.
  4. Final Adjustment: Reattach headrests and smooth out any wrinkles for a polished look.

Important Tips

  • Avoid over-stretching covers to prevent damage.
  • Test all seat functions (adjustments, reclining) after installation.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a professional-grade installation that enhances both aesthetics and functionality!
