FRONT SEAT COVER 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 VELCRO SLIT IN
THE TOP OF THE BACKREST COVERS.
STEP 2. NEXT, 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.
-
TURN THE SEAT COVER INSIDE OUT & ALIGN THE
HEADREST SIDE OR HOLES
-
SHIMMY THE COVER DOWN, GRADUALLY TURNING IT
RIGHT SIDE OUT
-
FOR
SEAT INTEGRATED RESTRAINTS, SIMPLY UNZIP THE COVER, WRAP IT AROUND THE BACKREST BEHIND
THE SEAT BELT & ZIP IT BACK UP.
(SLIDE
BACKREST COVER OVER BACKREST - DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE MAY
DIFFER!!!)
STEP 3. ALIGN HEAD REST HOLES.
STEP 4. ATTACH FRONT VELCRO TO THE REAR
VELCRO TAB ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BACKREST.
 
-
NOTE:
IF YOU HAVE A REAR "BIB" PANEL ON THE BACK OF YOUR BACKREST
WHICH PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCESSING THE FRONT PANEL FROM THE REAR OF
THE SEAT - YOUR COVER WILL
HAVE 2 ELASTICS ON THE FRONT PANEL WHICH MUST BE PULLED OUT FROM THE
SIDES OF THE BACK PANEL AND ATTACHED UNDER THE REAR OF THE CUSHION.
-
YOU CAN ALSO DETACH THE CLIPS
HOLDING THE BIB FROM UNDER THE SEAT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE FRONT
ELASTICS
STEP 5. NEXT,
PLACE THE CUSHION
COVER OVER THE SEAT CUSHION.
STEP 6. STUFF THE REAR VELCRO TAB THROUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BACKREST &
CUSHION.
(PUSH REAR TAB OF CUSHION
BETWEEN BACKREST & CUSHION)
STEP 7. 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).
-
AGAIN, YOU CAN ALSO DETACH THE CLIPS
HOLDING THE BIB FROM UNDER THE SEAT IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE FRONT
ELASTICS
(ATTACH THE ELASTIC ON THE FRONT OF THE
CUSHION COVER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT)
STEP 8. LOCATE THE TWO LOOPED ENDS OF THE
PERIMETER TENSION CHORD
-
CHORD IS LOCATED AT THE REAR
SIDES OF THE CUSHION COVER.
-
USUALLY, IT IS BEST TO PASS THE
ENDS OF THE TENSION
CHORD BETWEEN THE CUSHION AND BACKREST.
-
THEN PULL THE ENDS
OUT TO THE SIDES OF THE CUSHION (MAKE SURE YOU PULL
THE 2 ENDS TIGHT!), AND THEN DOWN UNDER
THE BACK OF THE CUSHION.
-
YOU MAY FIND THAT YOU HAVE TOO MUCH
SLACK ON THE CHORDS, IN THIS CASE YOU SHOULD TIE A NEW LOOP IN
THE CHORDS SO THAT THEY WILL KEEP THE CHORD TIGHT.
-
ATTACH THE TWO ENDS TOGETHER WITH AN
"S" HOOK.
-
IMPORTANT: THE BUNJI CHORDS
MUST BE PULLED TO THE SIDES OF THE CUSHION AND THEN
ATTACHED TOGETHER UNDER THE BACK OF THE CUSHION!!!
(ATTACH 2 ENDS OF THE TENSION CHORDS
TOGETHER AT BACK OF CUSHION)
STEP 9. PULL THE VELCRO TAB AT THE REAR OF THE CUSHION
AND ATTACH THE VELCRO TO THE
CARPETING AT THE REAR OF THE SEAT.
STEP 10. PLACE THE HEADREST COVER OVER THE
HEADRESTS.
-
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!
STEP
11.
ATTACH THE CONSOLE.
-
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 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 COVER.
-
ATTACH THE VELCRO AT THE REAR
OF THE LID COVER TO THE VELCRO AT THE BACK END 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 BUNJI 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.
