Detailed Installation Instructions

ITEMS TO NOTE:

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 “S” 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. 

• 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 “S” HOOKS.

• IF YOUR BACKREST CONTINUES DOWN UNDER YOUR SEAT SO YOU CANNOT PULL THE TAB THROUGH - SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!

(ATTACH ELASTICS OR VELCRO STRIP ON THE TAIL OF CUSHION COVER TO THE 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.

BACKREST INSTALLATION:

STEP 1.  

BEGIN BY REMOVING THE HEADRESTS IF POSSIBLE. 

• MANY HEADREST HAVE A SMALL HOLE ON THE INSIDE BOTTOM BRACKET THAT MUST BE PUSHED IN WITH A PIN TO REMOVE THE HEADRESTS. 

• IF HEADRESTS ARE NOT REMOVABLE, THERE SHOULD BE A WIDE OPENING IN THE TOP OF THE BACKREST COVERS TO ALLOW THE HEADREST TO PASS THROUGH.

STEP 2.  

SLIDE BACKREST COVER OVER THE SEAT BACKREST

• MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT SIDE!!!

• LOOK FOR ARMREST HOLES AND SHAPE OF SEAT ETC. TO DETERMINE SIDE. 

• IMPORTANT: SIDE AIRBAG TAGS MUST ALWAYS BE ON THE FRONT OUTBOARD SEAM (CLOSEST TO THE DOOR)! 

• IMPORTANT: IF YOUR SEAT BACKREST HAS A TAG OR ANY INDICATION THAT YOU HAVE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS, AND YOUR SEAT COVERS DO NOT HAVE AN AIRBAG TAG, DO NOT INSTALL THE SEAT COVER!  CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY!

• TURN THE SEAT COVER INSIDE OUT & ALIGN THE HEADREST HOLES.

• SHIMMY THE COVER DOWN, GRADUALLY TURNING IT RIGHT SIDE OUT.

• FOR SEAT INTEGRATED RESTRAINTS, SIMPLY UNZIP THE COVER, WRAP IT AROUND THE BACKREST (GOING IN BEHIND THE SEAT BELT) & ZIP IT BACK UP.

(SLIDE BACKREST COVER OVER BACKREST - DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE MAY DIFFER!!!)

(IF YOUR COVER HAS AIRBAG ACCOMMODATIONS, MAKE SURE THE AIRBAG TAG IS ON THE OUTSIDE!)

STEP 3. 

ALIGN HEAD REST HOLES.

• WHEN THE BACKREST IF FULLY CENTERED AND FITTED,  PUSH THE HEADREST BRACKETS THROUGH THE HOLES PREVIOUSLY PUNCHED OR, IF THE HEADREST HOLES HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED, MAKE AN "X" CUT OVER THE HEADREST BRACKETS AND PUSH THE BRACKETS THROUGH.  THIS IS A VERY EASY PROCESS AND ENSURES THE HEADREST HOLES ARE IN THE CORRECT PLACE! 

STEP 4. 

ATTACH FRONT VELCRO TO THE REAR VELCRO ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BACKREST.

• NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ELASTICS ON THE BOTTOM TABS OF YOUR BACKREST, THEN YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A "BIB" ON THE BACK OF YOUR BACKREST WHICH PREVENTS YOU FROM PUSHING THE FRONT TAB TROUGH TO ATTACH TO THE REAR TAB OF YOUR BACKRESTS.  PLEASE USE THE INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW.

*** 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 THE SEAT AND FOLLOWING 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.

• ONCE THE CLIPS ARE FREE, YOU CAN BEGIN TO ATTACH THE ELASTICS ON BOTTOMS OF THE BACKREST COVERS AND CUSHION COVERS (SEE CUSHION INSTALLATION).

• PUSH THE FRONT TAB OF THE BACKREST 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.

• NEXT, RE-ATTACH THE "BIB" CLIPS ONTO THE METAL LISTINGS UNDER YOUR CUSHION.

• ONCE YOU HAVE THE "BIB" RE-ATTACHED YOU CAN ATTACH THE ELASTICS FROM THE BACK OF THE BACKREST TO THE METAL LISTINGS UNDER THE CUSHION (OR, IF THERE IS VELCRO INSTEAD OF ELASTICS,  ATTACH THE VELCRO THE "BIB").

HEADREST INSTALLATION:

• MAKE SURE THE FRONT IS FACING FORWARD (LOOK AT SHAPE BEFORE INSTALLING).

• THE HEADREST COVERS TEND TO BE A TIGHT FIT.  THIS IS NECESSARY FOR THEM TO LOOK SMOOTH AND WELL FITTING. 

• YOU MAY HAVE TO SCRUNCH THE FOAM OF THE HEADREST DOWN UNTIL THE HEADREST COVER FITS OVER. 

• DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE FORCEFUL- THE SEAT COVERS WILL NOT RIP!

CONSOLE INSTALLATION:

• THE CONSOLE COMES IN TWO PARTS:  THE LID COVER AND THE BOTTOM COVER. 

• SLIDE THE BOTTOM COVER, FROM FRONT TO REAR, OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE CONSOLE.

• STUFF THE REAR PIECE OF VELCRO THROUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN THE CONSOLE AND THE SEAT CUSHION.

• ATTACH THE TWO TOP PIECES OF THE BOTTOM COVER TO THE REAR VELCRO.  THIS ENABLES THE BOTTOM COVER TO GO UNDER AND OVER THE HINGE ON WHICH THE CONSOLE

(SLIDE ON THE COVER FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE CONSOLE)

• SLIDE THE LID COVER, STARTING FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR, OVER THE LID PORTION OF THE CONSOLE. 

• THE LID SHOULD SLIDE BETWEEN THE WIDE ELASTICS AND THE LID COVER. 

• ATTACH THE VELCRO AT THE REAR OF THE LID COVER TO THE VELCRO AT THE REAR OF THE BOTTOM COVER. 

• MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS LINED UP (EG: CUP HOLDERS, CHANGE HOLDERS, LATCH OPENINGS ETC.).

(SLIDE ON TOP LID COVER)
-

(ATTACH VELCRO ON TAIL OF BOTTOM COVER TO TAIL OF TOP LID COVER)

REAR SEAT COVER INSTALLATION:

REAR SEAT COVER INSTALLATION IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS FRONT SEAT COVER INSTALLATION. 

• THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE ACCESSIBILITY, OR LACK THERE OF, TO AREAS BEHIND THE BACKREST OR CUSHION.

• THE REAR SEAT CUSHION (IN MOST CASES) CAN BE FOLDED OUT, OR REMOVED ALL TOGETHER FOR EASIER SEAT COVER INSTALLATION. 

• IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW TO REMOVE YOUR CUSHION, PLEASE CONTACT THE DEALER YOU PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM.

• IF YOUR BACKREST DOES NOT SLIDE FORWARD, THE COVER SHOULD HAVE A PERIMETER TENSION CHORD THAT CAN BE PULLED TIGHT ONCE COVER IS ALIGNED PROPERLY.

• OFTEN IT IS NECESSARY TO WORK THE TOP EDGE OF THE COVER BEHIND THE SEAT A LITTLE AT A TIME, UNTIL YOU HAVE ABOUT 2" OF OVERLAP AND THE HEADREST HOLES LINE UP.

  *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***

  ON SOME MODELS, HEADREST HOLES ARE NOT CUT!! 

THIS IS DONE IF IT IS DEEMED BETTER TO CUT THEM ONCE THE COVER IS INSTALLED.  OUR FABRICS DO NOT FRAY, SO IT IF SAFE & EASY TO CUT THE HOLES YOURSELF AND WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A BETTER FITTING COVER.  IF YOU DO SOMEHOW DAMAGE YOUR COVER CUTTING THE HOLES YOURSELF, WE WILL SEND YOU A NEW BACKREST AT NO CHARGE.
