FITTING BACK OF SEATS

  1. Remove the headrest if needed and place the headrest cover over it.
  2. Slide the seat cover over the top of the seatback and pull it downwards.
  3. Replace the headrest before fully sliding the cover into place (the cover should fit snugly).

Make sure the seams of the cover are lined up with the seams of the seat
  4. Push the front bottom flap through the gap between the seat back and base to the rear.
  5. Pull the flap tight and secure it to the Velcro inside the rear of the cover.

FITTING BASE OF SEATS

  1. Carefully slide the seat base cover onto the seat, ensuring it does not interfere with any levers or buttons.
  2. Push the rear flap through the gap between the seat base and backrest to the rear of the seat.
  3. Wrap both side flaps tightly around the seat base, making sure they remain clear of any levers or buttons.

  4. Secure the side flaps to the centre flap using the attached Velcro.

    Some of our designs may not have side flaps and instead use a “tuck in” side border. This is to be tucked in behind the side plastic trim of the seat. Any side to side straps are to also tuck behind the plastic and fasten securely under the seat.
  5. If straps are included, thread them under the seat, avoiding all tracks and fittings. Pull the straps tight and secure them to the opposite side. Test the seat's movement to ensure nothing is obstructed.
  6. For covers with joined cushions and backrests, slide the straps through the seam and fasten them underneath the seat.
    TIP: When tightening the front to back straps, recline the seat forward and make sure the seam where the back and base are joined is pushed all the way back into the seat. This will give the best fit and make sure no area of the cushion is exposed

  7. Over time, the seat covers will mould into the shape of your seats for a better fit. Occasionally check and re-tension the Velcro fasteners if needed.
TIP: Repeat this process for the driver and passenger seats before the rear seating.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR SEATS WITH AIRBAGS

  1. If the seat is equipped with airbags, ensure the seat cover's opening and “Airbag Certified” tag is positioned on the door side of the seat.
  2. Some newer vehicles are equipped with a dual driver airbag / centre airbag. The driver seat cover has openings on both sides of the cover, as well as two “Airbag Certified” tags.

FAQs

Before installing your seat covers, clean your seats and vacuum them to remove any dust, dirt, or debris. Ensure all items are removed from seat pockets. Adjust the seats to a comfortable working position and remove headrests if required. This ensures a smooth installation and a secure fit.

If your seat covers feel loose, check all straps and Velcro fastenings to ensure they are properly secured. Make sure the cover's seams are lined up with the seams of your seat. Over time, the covers will mould to your seats for a better fit, but you may need to occasionally re-tension the fasteners for optimal snugness.

No tools are needed for installation. Our seat covers are designed to fit as straightforward as possible with simple hand adjustments and secure velcro fastenings.

No, our seat covers are designed to ensure they do not obstruct levers, buttons, or seat airbags. They allow access to armrest provisions and ISO fix anchor points.
