Items To Note

Digital Pictures

In order to help us provide you with the best customer service we can, please e-mail us a digital picture of any problems you are having. This has shown to be an easy and valuable trouble shooting system for our customer service team. Also note that any returns due to a fitting problem must be preceded by a digital photo of the problem area e-mailed to: info@nwseatcovers.com


If you do not have a digital camera, please take your vehicle (with the covers on) back to the original place of purchase so they can take a photo and/or possibly solve your fitting issue on the spot.


Headrest & Latch Holes

In many models, headrest holes, power holes and/or latch holes are not cut. This is due to past trouble with properly aligning the covers once the holes were cut. In these cases, it was deemed better to cut the holes once the cover is properly aligned and installed.

To make these holes, simply install the cover, then cut a small "X" cut over the area where the hole needs to be. Then, in the case of a latch hole, lift the cover up and slide the latch through the hole. This process ensures that the holes are placed in correct spot every time!


Front Seat Cover Installation

Cushion Installation

Step 1

PLACE THE CUSHION COVER OVER THE SEAT CUSHION.

Make sure you have the correct side!!! (look for latch or seatbelt cut-outs or general shape).

(SLIDE LATCHES ETC. ON THE CUSHION THROUGH ALLOTMENTS)


Step 2

STUFF THE REAR VELCRO TAB THROUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BACKREST & CUSHION.

(PUSH REAR TAB OF CUSHION BETWEEN BACKREST & CUSHION)


Step 3

ATTACH THE FRONT ELASTIC TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CUSHION.

Use an ā€œsā€ hook (usually there are metal bars etc to attach the hook to).

(ATTACH THE ELASTIC ON THE FRONT OF THE CUSHION COVER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT)


Step 4

LOCATE THE TWO LOOPED ENDS OF THE TENSION CHORD AND ATTACH THEM TOGETHER

  • THE TENSION CHORD ENDS ARE LOCATED AT EITHER SIDE OF THE OF THE CUSHION COVER SKIRT.
  • USUALLY, IT IS BEST TO PASS THE ENDS OF THE TENSION CHORD BETWEEN THE CUSHION AND BACKREST AND THEN PULL THE ENDS OUT TO THE SIDES OF THE CUSHION AND THEN DOWN UNDER THE BACK OF THE CUSHION.
  • DO NOT HESITATE TO USE YOUR INGENUITY HERE! IF IT LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS BEST TO PASS THE TENSION CHORD BETWEEN THE CUSHION AND THE SIDE PLASTIC PANEL OR SIMPLY AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE SEAT, FOR EXAMPLE, THEN DO SO.
  • ATTACH THE TWO ENDS TOGETHER WITH AN "S" HOOK (IF YOU NEED MORE TENSION - SEE THE NOTE BELOW).
Important Note

YOU MAY FIND THAT YOU HAVE TOO MUCH SLACK ON THE CHORDS, IN THIS CASE YOU SHOULD PULL THE CHORDS UNTIL YOU GET THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF TENSION AND THEN TIE OFF A NEW LOOP AT THE ENDS OF THE CHORDS & ATTACH THEM TOGETHER WITH AN "S" HOOK.

(ATTACH 2 ENDS OF THE TENSION CHORDS TOGETHER AT BACK OF CUSHION)

Step 5

ATTACH THE REAR TAB OF THE COVER TO THE REAR OF THE SEAT.

step-5
  • HERE YOU WILL HAVE EITHER A VELCRO STRIP THAT WILL ATTACH THE THE CARPETING ON THE BACK OF YOUR SEAT CUSHION OR YOU WILL HAVE ELASTICS TO ATTACH TO THE RODS UNDER YOUR SEAT IF YOU CUSHION DOES NOT HAVE CARPETING TO ATTACH THE VELCRO TO.
  • FROM THE BEHIND THE SEAT, PULL THE REAR TAB SO THAT THE CUSHION COVER IS TIGHT AND WRINKLE FREE AND THEN PULL THE TAB DOWN SO IT COVERS THE TENSION CHORDS YOU HAVE JUST ATTACHED TOGETHER.
  • FINALLY, ATTACH THE VELCRO TO THE CARPETING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT CUSHION OR, IF YOU HAVE ELASTICS, ATTACH THEM TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT WITH THE PROVIDED ā€œSā€ HOOKS.
  • IF YOUR BACKREST CONTINUES DOWN UNDER YOUR SEAT SO YOU CANNOT PULL THE TAB THROUGH - SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!

(ATTACH 2 ENDS OF THE TENSION CHORDS TOGETHER AT BACK OF CUSHION)

Important Note

IF THE BACK OF YOUR BACKREST WRAPS UNDER YOUR SEAT CUSHION (LIKE A "BIB") SO YOU CANNOT PUSH YOUR HAND THROUGH BETWEEN THE BACKREST & CUSHION FOLLOW THE NEXT STEPS:

  • FIRST, YOU MUST REMOVE THE CLIPS HOLDING THE "BIB" TO THE METAL RODS (LISTINGS) UNDER YOUR CUSHION. SIMPLY REACH UNDER YOUR SEAT AND FOLLOW THE ELASTICS WITH YOUR HAND. WHEN YOU REACH THE CLIP, PUSH IT FORWARDS AND IT WILL PUSH FREE OFF OF THE METAL ROD (LISTING). REPEAT THIS PROCESS WITH THE OTHER CLIP.
  • RARELY, THE CLIPS ARE PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO THE RODS UNDER THE SEAT. YOU MUST SNIP THESE ELASTICS TO RELEASE THEM & THEN TIE THE ENDS BACK TOGETHER (YOU CAN RE-ATTACH THEM USING THE "S" HOOKS PROVIDED). THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE PROCEDURE & IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR SEAT AND WILL NOT BE VISIBLE!
  • ONCE THE CLIPS ARE FREE, YOU CAN BEGIN TO ATTACH THE ELASTICS ON THE BACK TAB OF THE CUSHION COVERS.
  • PUSH THE TAB ON THE REAR OF YOUR CUSHION COVERS THROUGH BETWEEN THE CUSHION & BACKREST SO THE ELASTICS ARE ACCESSIBLE FROM BEHIND THE SEAT.
  • ATTACH AN S-HOOK TO EACH OF THE ELASTICS AND REACH UNDER THE SEAT & HOOK THEM ONTO ONE OF THE METAL RODS. REPEAT THIS PROCESS WITH THE OTHER ELASTIC.
  • ONCE THE CUSHION ELASTICS ARE ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT CUSHION, YOU CAN ATTACH THE ELASTICS ON THE BACKREST COVER (INSTRUCTIONS BELOW) AND FINISH BY RE-ATTACHING THE "BIB" ELASTICS.
