Unpack the pieces (0:03)

Today, we’re going to show you how to install your front seat covers on your truck. Step one, open up the packaging. Next, pull out all the pieces for the front seats. You’ll have a front seat top like this and a front seat bottom like this. Do the same for the other side. You should also have two headrest covers for the front two seats. Go ahead and take them out of the plastic.

Remove the lumbar support and headrest (0:40)

If you don’t want the extra lumbar support, you can remove it. There’s a zipper inside right here. Unzip it and take the lumbar support out.

Next, pop the headrest off. Pull straight up on the headrest, then release it.

Install the front seat top (1:00)

Grab your front tops. One is labeled passenger side and one is labeled driver side. We’re starting with the driver side today. The label is based on the zipper facing the door. The goal is to have the zipper facing the door because it makes installation easier, but you can put it on the other way if you need to. Make sure the zipper is unzipped before you install it.

On Rams, or any bigger truck, the covers will be a bit tighter to get on. Slip the cover over the side with the zipper open, then really shimmy it down. These have never been on a seat before, so it’s a tight fit and you might have to work with it at the start. It takes a little oomph. You can realign it so it sits nice and straight. Lean in at the front and really pull down.

Buttons, headrest holes and zipper (1:55)

Next, do up these buttons. You’ll notice they don’t line up with the headrest holes just yet. Button them anyway, then readjust the seat cover so it’s a lot closer. Tuck this plastic underneath the headrest holes so it looks like this. Once that’s done, you can realign the cover a bit more. It can take a few weeks of sitting in the seat for the cover to break in, and you can readjust it as needed.

When it’s all in place, zip it up. If the two sides don’t quite meet, hold them together with one hand and zip with the other, or have someone hold the zipper closed while you zip. If you have a little excess fabric here, tuck it back into the plastic.

Push the wheels through the crease (2:49)

Grab these two wheels and push them through the crease. Stick each one through, then turn it sideways like this so it holds in the crease. It should look something like this when you’re done.

Install the front seat bottom (3:10)

Now grab the front seat bottom. Unbuckle both sides so it looks like this, and push the buckles back through the elastic straps. Make sure you can still get to your straps right here. Push the straps through the crease, and make sure the cover is pushed far back and wrapped around the side of the seat.

Before coming around to the back, move your seat all the way forward to give yourself the most room underneath. You can also raise the seat by lifting it up.

Release the felt backing (3:44)

Depending on your vehicle, you might have a felt backing here that hides the crease. Reach underneath. It should be held on with straps, or possibly a zipper depending on the vehicle. The elastic straps look like this. Unhook them and fold the felt up. Now you can see the crease of the seat.

Readjust the wheels so they lie flat and can’t slip back through the crease. Then pull the rest of the straps through, on this side too.

Side straps (4:20)

Go back around to the front. You might need to move your seat back, and you can keep it raised for the most room. These side straps get pushed through the crease. This step is optional, depending on whether your seat tucks in naturally at the side. That depends on the width and height of your side bolster.

We’ll push them between the plastic trim and the seat itself. A tip: bring the strap up to the front and slide it through, just like that. Do the front one as well. Then take the buckle strap and push it through the first loop, then through the second loop to hold it in place. This is what holds the side down. Tuck that in, and we’ll deal with the rest from the back. Do the same on the inside of the seat.

Tuck into the plastic trim (5:15)

The last step for the bottom section is to tuck it into the plastic trim. Use your fingers or a small tool like a butter knife to make sure it really gets in there. Once that’s done, it should look like this.

Buckle the straps underneath (5:38)

Back behind the seat, reach underneath and grab the two straps you pushed through. Depending on how cramped it is under your seat, you may need another person to feed them through. One side should look like this. Take the other half of the buckle, buckle them together and pull the strap tight. Do the same on the other side. When you’re done, reattach the felt.

Headrest cover and finishing (6:15)

The last step for the front seat is to put the headrest back in, then put on the front headrest cover. Slide it over the top like this and adjust it so it sits straight. Push any wrinkles down toward the bottom, and pull the cover down a little more so it wraps around the headrest better. Then push the headrest all the way down.

That’s one front seat done. Repeat the same process on the other side. If the cover has small creases like these, rub them out with a hot rag or a steamer.

Wrap-up (7:10)

When both front seats are installed, they’ll look like this. If you have any questions at all, call us at 763-334-3581 or email us at info@seatcoversolutions.com. Scroll down to the next video to see the back seat install.

Introduction and preparation (0:00)

Today we’re going to show you how to install your back seat covers on your truck. First, open up the packaging and separate the pieces. You have two top pieces here. The one with the curve goes on the outside, so this one is the driver’s side.

You’ll also see a big package like this. That’s your middle section, and we’ll get to it a little later. You’ll find two or three headrest covers depending on your vehicle, and your two bottom pieces.

Install the bottom covers (0:22)

The two bottom pieces are the first thing we install. The side with the curve goes on the bottom outer edge of the seat. Make sure the Velcro is on the inside, facing the center armrest. So this one is the passenger side.

Unclip the buckles. Slide the cover on just like this, making sure you can reach the two straps at the back and the Velcro faces the center of the seat. We’re starting on the bigger 60 side today. Make sure it’s pushed nice and tight into the crease, then send the two buckles through.

If your seat folds up (most trucks do, but not all), lift the seat like this and you’ll find the straps hanging underneath. Buckle these side straps in an X formation, just like so. You want them snug, but not too tight. It should be buckled in an X like this. Then fold the seat back down. It should look like this when you’re done.

Complete the other bottom side (1:58)

On the other side, unbuckle the buckles and do the same thing, again making sure the Velcro faces the middle section. This side is a bit easier because it’s the smaller 40 section. Push the straps through the crease, and make sure the cover goes as far back into the crease as possible so the whole seat is covered.

Find the straps hanging underneath and buckle them in an X formation, same as the other side. Once it’s down, you can readjust and push it further into the crease if you need to. It should look like this.

Middle seat bottom cover (2:46)

Open the packaging for the middle section. It should look something like this. There are two pieces inside. The one with two Velcro strips and a small wheel here is for later, so set it aside.

The other piece has two straps. Unbuckle them and fit the piece on the seat like we did with the outside sections, centered on the middle of the seat. Make sure all the buckles are visible. Because it attaches with Velcro, you might need to adjust it a little. I find it works best to push it all the way back, then put the straps through. I also check that it’s even all the way down the back. Then push the straps through the crease.

When that’s done, flip both seat sections up at the same time and hold them up like this if you need to. Find the straps. For this section we don’t use an X formation. Just buckle the straps and pull them tight. It should look like this. Fold the seat back down and the bottom is complete.

Tip: folding the 60/40 seat (4:14)

Before we start on the tops, here’s a tip for folding up either your 60 or 40 section. Because the covers are attached with Velcro, just put your hand in like this and push this part over. I recommend folding it back a little while you do it, like so. Then you can fold up the 40 section. You can do the same with the 60 section. In fact, the 60 section is a little easier: just undo this and fold it up. There you go, you’re all set to fold your 60 and 40 sections.

Install the top backrest covers (4:56)

Now we’ll start with the 40 section of the back seat top. It’s a piece like this. First, push the wheels through the crease. Make sure they come through like this, then turn them sideways like this. Then fold the cover up like this.

Your vehicle might let you fold the headrest down like that, which makes it a little easier. You don’t need to do this unless your seat has it. Loosen the straps, buckle them at the back and cinch them tight. When you’re done, tuck it further into the crease if needed. It should look like this.

Do the same on the next section. Push the wheels through the crease and make sure they’re turned sideways. Once they’re through, fold the headrest forward if your seat allows it. Otherwise, work around the headrest as it is. At the back, attach the straps around the headrest and cinch them tight. It should look like this when you’re done. You might need to tuck it into the crease slightly, and then you’re all set.

Middle top seat cover (6:14)

Now take the other middle piece. You’ll notice it has a wheel here. Start by tucking that through the crease just like this. Then fold the piece up like this and really tuck it in. Make sure your seat belt is hooked through like this, and the same on this section here. Tuck this section over the Velcro. It should look like this when you’re done.

Whenever you want to use your fold-down cup holder, undo the Velcro on both sides and fold that section down. It should look like this, and then you can reach your cup holder.

Headrest covers and finish (7:08)

Take the headrest covers out of the packaging. You’ll see two big ones like this and a smaller one like this. Take one of the bigger ones and slip it over the headrest. It should look just like this. Adjust it however you like so you don’t see any wrinkles. You might have to pull it to the side here. Because of the elastic straps, it can wrinkle at the side until you push it out like this. Do the same on the other side, adjusting until it fits how you want and smoothing out any wrinkles or creases.

On this Ram the middle headrest is fixed, so just slip this one over and tuck it underneath. It should look like this when complete.

When your back seat is finished, it’ll look like this. If you have any questions at all, call us at 763-334-3581. You can also email us at info@seatcoversolutions.com. Thanks.

Front Seat Installation Sedan

Watch this video to learn how to install your luxury front seat covers in your sedan.

Transcript

Unpack and prepare (0:05)

Today we’re going to show you how to install your front seat covers on your sedan. First, unzip your package and separate the pieces. Inside the top portion, you’ll find the bottom section for the front seats.

If you don’t want the extra lumbar support, you can remove it from inside this zipper right here. Unzip the zipper and take the lumbar support out. Remove any tags attached to the covers.

Remove the headrest (0:48)

Now go to your vehicle. In a smaller car like this one, tilt the seat back so you can take the headrest out. Then remove the headrest.

Install the front seat top (1:01)

Before installing the top section, unzip the zipper. One cover is labeled driver side and the other is labeled passenger side. The key is that the zipper faces the door. If you happen to get two driver sides, they’re interchangeable. Having the zipper face the door just makes installation easier.

Shimmy the cover down the seat just like this. Make sure it’s all the way down, so it won’t go any further.

Buttons, headrest holes and zipper (1:37)

Next, do up the buttons at the top. Your headrest holes might not line up perfectly, and that’s okay. Tuck these under the plastic just like this. It should look like this when you’re done.

Next, zip the barn door. If you have a little excess here, tuck it back into the plastic.

Push the wheels through the crease (2:06)

Take these two wheels and put them through the crease. The idea is that they sit on the other side of the crease like this, so they won’t get pushed back through. Stick them through like this, then turn them sideways like this. It should look like this when you’re done.

If the cover has small creases like these, rub them out with a hot rag or a steamer.

Install the front seat bottom (2:34)

Raise your seat to give yourself the most room for the bottom section. Unclip your clips just like this, and undo the elastic straps as well. These side straps go through the plastic trim at the side, and we’ll get to that a little later.

Take your bottom piece and make sure the straps are laid out like this. Push them through the crease just like so. Once they’re through, push the cover back and make sure the bottom piece goes all the way back into the seat.

Release the felt backing (3:20)

Now come around to the back. Some vehicles have a felt lining blocking this area, which you can detach from the bottom if needed. Reach underneath. It should be held on with straps, or possibly a zipper depending on your vehicle. The elastic straps look like this. Unhook them, then fold the felt up. Now you can see the crease of the seat.

Side straps (3:49)

Next, take these zip ties. Leave them attached and push them through the plastic trim at the side. It helps to come around the front first with the elastic, then hook them through this strap. Once it’s through the crease, push them through like this. This keeps the side attached, so it won’t come off when you rub against the side of the seat.

Take these, bring them way up here and put them through the side just like this. See how it comes through nice and easy? Same with this one. Then take the strap and push it through the elastic straps just like this. It should look like this.

Another tip (which I need to fix on this side): route the strap above everything that’s under your seat. When it’s done, it should look like this. It holds that side in, and we’ll buckle it later. Do the inside of the seat as well.

Buckle and tighten (5:00)

Once the seat cover is pushed all the way back and your straps are started, push your seat all the way forward. Reach under and grab the straps from the front, then buckle them. On a smaller sedan, you might need someone to feed them underneath to you.

Once they’re clipped, tighten the straps just like this. Take the other one, clip it as well, and tighten it the same way. Another tip for keeping the bottom section perfectly in line: tighten the straps by pulling toward the front. That naturally pulls the section toward the back.

Tuck into the plastic trim (5:47)

The last step for the bottom section is to tuck it into the plastic trim. Use your fingers or a small tool like a butter knife to make sure it really gets in there. It’ll look like this. You can also fold the front side like this and tuck it into the plastic so it looks like this. Your vehicle might look a little different, but this is how it works on this sedan. Once that’s done, it should look like this.

Headrest cover and wrap-up (6:20)

Next, find your first headrest cover. All the front headrest covers are labeled L for large. It might help to put the cover on while the headrest is in the vehicle. Put the headrest in, then put the cover on. Push the cover toward the back to get rid of creases here. Make sure it’s even, then push the headrest down.

Your front seat should look like this. Do the same on the other side. If you have any questions at all, call us at 763-334-3581 or email us at info@seatcoversolutions.com.

Unbox and sort the pieces (0:04)

Today we’re going to show you how to install the back seat covers on your sedan. First, open up your package and separate all the pieces. Here’s the driver-side bottom. It should look like this, with two straps on it. Here’s the passenger side, which is the same piece for the bottom. Here are the two top pieces. The side with the curved edge goes on the outside, so this one is the passenger side and this one is the driver’s side. And here’s the middle piece.

Remove the bottom seat (0:43)

Before starting on the back seat, move your front seats all the way forward to give yourself the most room. On most sedans you pull the seat straight up and it pops out. You’ll have to pull pretty hard. Feel along the crease, because some seats have a little tab you need to pull. I’ll pull it to the side here, and then the seat comes up easily. You can see the tab right here. Do the same on the other side. Once both tabs are out, the seat comes out nice and easy, and you can pull it straight up. These are the tabs I was talking about. Some seats don’t have them and just pop in and out freely.

If your back seat is bolted down, use a 14 mm wrench to unscrew it. I’ve already done that here. Then just lift up your back seat and you can install the cover freely.

Install the bottom side pieces (1:52)

On sedans you have two options: install the bottom section outside the vehicle, or do it with the seat still in. First, unclip these buckles. Then put the cover on. The side panel goes on the outside, with two straps going into the crease here and two going off to the side and front. Another way to check you have the right side: this Velcro should face the middle of the seat. It’s the only Velcro strip, right here.

Once it’s on like this, flip the seat on its side. You can also do this from underneath, but flipping it is easier. With the seat flipped, buckle the straps in an X formation: take the far-right strap and the far bottom-left strap, put them together and pull them tight. You want them snug, but not too tight. Do the same with the other two so they make an X pattern like this. You can readjust as needed before putting the seat back. Now let’s grab the other side.

Repeat on the other side (3:09)

Repeat the same process on the other side. Unclip the buckles. Put the edge on the side, with two buckles facing the crease and two going in the front, and make sure the Velcro faces the center. Again, flip the seat on its side so the buckles are easier to reach, and buckle them in an X formation. You don’t have to flip it, but it does make a sedan install easier.

It should look like this once both sides are done. Tighten the straps to get your ideal fit. Too tight and the cover will wrinkle; too loose and it will move around. We’ll need to tighten these up a little.

Bottom middle piece (4:03)

Next, grab the middle pieces. One has a strap and one doesn’t. The one without a strap has a wheel and Velcro, and it’s for the top section. The one with the strap is for the bottom. First, unbuckle the buckle. Before doing the middle section, double-check that your sides are as tight as you want them.

Take the middle section. It has Velcro, so you need to position it just right, which can be a little tricky. It should look just like this. Pull it in if needed so the Velcro doesn’t show. It might take a few tries to get it exactly how you want, and you can readjust the bottoms a little to get the fit you’re looking for. Then flip the seat, grab this strap and this strap, buckle them together and cinch them tight. The bottom of the back seat is now done.

Put the bottom seat back (5:25)

Now put the seat back in place. Feed your seat belts through the correct holes. You might need to readjust the bottom once it’s back in. Push it back onto the peg and you’re all set.

Backrest side pieces (5:46)

Next, grab the backrest pieces. Make sure the big side faces the door. This one is the passenger side, because the curved edge is toward the door. If your seats fold down, the install is a bit easier. Lift your headrest up a little, unclip the straps, wrap them around the headrest and cinch them as tight as they’ll go so the cover holds firmly. Then push your seat back. Take the buckles and push them through the crease. If the cover is too tight, loosen it until it fits well.

Your back seat might have three headrests. Depending on your vehicle, you’ll have two medium-size covers (small in this case) plus an extra-small one, which looks like this.

For the other side, repeat the process. Unclip the buckles, go around the headrest and cinch them tight. Then push the wheels through the crease and adjust the length and fit as needed.

Backrest middle piece, seat belts and cup holder (7:13)

Now take the middle piece, the one with Velcro on the outer edges and the wheel here. Start by pushing the wheel through the crease, then fold the piece under the outside sections. Make sure no Velcro shows. Do the same on the other side.

For the inside seat belt, loop it out like this so you can still reach it. It should look something like this. Whenever you want to use your fold-down cup holder, undo the Velcro on both sides and fold the section down. It should look like this, and then you can reach your cup holder. For the outside seat belts, do the same: loop them in like this on both sides.

Headrests (8:05)

For the back seat headrests, take the larger covers. If you have different sizes, the middle one should be labeled small. Shimmy them on like this. If you have an oddly shaped headrest, like these elongated ones, the cover might look a little different. Play around with it until you get the fit you want. The elastic middle section lets you adjust how it looks and feels. Push the headrest down once you’re happy with the fit. It should look like this. Do the same on all three headrests. This one is smaller, so we’ll use the extra-small size. Then repeat on the other side.

Finish (8:53)

When your back seat is done, it should look like this. If the cover has small creases like these, rub them out with a hot rag or a steamer. If you have any questions at all, call us at 763-334-3581 or email us at info@seatcoversolutions.com.

Intro and unboxing (0:05)

Today we’re going to show you how to install your front seat covers on your SUV. First, open the package and take out your front seat covers. They may come in plastic wrap. You’ll have a front top and a front bottom. We’ll start with the front top.

Front top / backrest (0:31)

If you don’t want the extra lumbar support, unzip the zipper right here and take it out. Next, pop the headrest off. The front seat covers are labeled front driver and front passenger. You want the zipper on the outside of the seat. Unzip it and slide the cover down the seat. Depending on your SUV, it may be a bit tight. You can move the seat forward to get more room behind it, and leaning the seat back a little also helps.

Next, push these two wheels through the crease, then turn them sideways so they don’t come back out. You can adjust them from the back later. Around the back, fasten all three buttons. They may not line up perfectly, so adjust the cover as you go. A good tip is to tuck the fabric under the plastic around the headrest holes. These covers have never been on a vehicle, so it takes some wiggling, and some use, before they sit the way you want. Then zip the barn door. If there’s extra fabric, tuck it back into the plastic.

Front bottom / seat cushion (2:18)

Take the bottom piece. It has side straps and buckles. Undo the buckles and move your seat back to give yourself room. Slide the bottom section on, keeping the buckles and straps in place. Push the front and back straps through the crease. Make sure the cover is pushed all the way back. You can adjust it later with the side and front straps.

Move the seat all the way forward and go around to the back. Most vehicles have a felt lining here that’s hooked or zipped on at the bottom. Check which kind you have, then reach under and unhook it. Make sure the wheels are sideways so they don’t slip back through.

Side straps (3:29)

Your vehicle might let you tuck the sides in without the side straps. That’s fine, but the straps add security. Push the strap between the plastic trim and the seat, either with the zip tie poking through and all the way under the seat, or by pulling it up to the front. Then run the straps through the elastic side straps to hold that side in. Do the same on the inside. Tip: route the straps above everything that’s under the seat.

Buckle and cinch (4:43)

Push the seat forward for room at the back. Reach under and grab the straps. Buckle the left side and cinch it tight, then do the same on the right. Hook the felt back on underneath. If the side of the cover is long enough for your vehicle, tuck it into the plastic so it looks nice and fitted.

Headrest (5:31)

Put the headrest back on the seat first, then pull the cover over it. Even it out. To work out wrinkles, pull the cover to the side and push it down.

Finish (5:59)

You’ve finished the front seat. Repeat the same steps on the other side. For small creases, rub them out with a hot rag or a steamer. If you have questions about installation or anything else, call us at 763-334-3581 or email info@seatcoversolutions.com.

Unpack and remove the bottom seat (0:04)

Today we’re going to show you how to install your back seat covers on your SUV. First, open the package and pull out the individual pieces. You should have a side piece here, and we’ll start with that.

At the back seat, the first thing to do is pop the bottom seat up. On most SUVs you pop it straight up by pulling like this, and it should come out. You might have to pull pretty hard. Depending on your vehicle, there might be a little tab you have to push to the side. Feel along the crease here. Some seats have a little tab you have to pull. I’ll pull it to the side here, and then the seat comes up easily. See this tab right here? Do the same on the other side, like this. These are the tabs I was talking about. Some seats don’t have them and just pop in and out freely.

If your back seat is bolted down, use a 14 mm wrench and unscrew it like this. I’ve already done that here. Then just lift up your back seat like this and you’ll be able to install the cover freely.

Release the seat cushion (1:11)

Pop both sides up like this. You’ll see it’s held in by these two tabs. Depending on your vehicle, you might have to push back and then up to release it, just like this one. Then it should come out like this. You can install the cover outside the vehicle if you want. For this video, we’re going to do it inside the vehicle.

Also make sure your front seats are pushed all the way forward to give you the most room in the back.

Bottom side pieces (1:44)

Grab the bottom side piece. You can tell which side it goes on from the Velcro. The edge with the curve is the front edge, and the Velcro faces the middle. With the straps unbuckled, slide it on like this. It should look like this. You want it pushed back into the crease as far as possible. You can pull the cushion up and out so you have more room to work.

Lay the straps out like this. Then flip the seat on its side so you can reach them, and buckle them in an X formation. You want them snug, but not tight: too loose and it won’t hold, too tight and it will wrinkle. It should look something like this when you’re done.

Now grab the other side and do the same thing. Get it nicely in place and fitted all the way in, then buckle the straps in an X formation. It should look something like this. Then you can pull it all the way over so it fits nicely.

Bottom middle piece (3:05)

Now grab the middle piece. It comes in a little package like this. Open it up and you’ll find two middle pieces, a top and a bottom. We’re using the bottom one, which has the strap and buckle like this. Make sure it’s unclipped, then meet me at the back.

We do exactly what we did with the sides. I like to start like this, lining the front edge up with the side pieces so they match. Then come around the back like this. This side is a little loose, so I’ll tighten it down. It should look something like this when you’re done.

Put the bottom seat back (4:05)

Flip the cushion back and push it into place. Make sure all your straps are underneath and not blocking the pegs. This one’s a little crooked, so I’ll undo the Velcro and move it around until it’s straight. You should hear it click in like that. Then adjust around your seat belts by tucking the seat cover around them. It should look something like this when you’re done.

Backrest side pieces (4:37)

Next, grab the backrest side pieces. They look like this. Notice that one edge is curved and the other is straight. The curved edge faces the outside, so this one is the driver-side back seat.

Unclip the buckle at the top. Raise the headrest, go around it and clip the strap like that. Tighten it, then push the headrest down. For the lower part, push these wheels through the crease. It should look like this. Then put your seat belt over the side if needed.

Repeat on the other side: lift the headrest, buckle the strap behind it, cinch it tight, then push the wheels through the crease.

Backrest middle piece and cup holder (5:40)

Now grab the middle piece. It should be the last piece left apart from the headrest covers. It has a little wheel and Velcro on both sides. Push the wheel through the crease, just like the other wheels, and fold the piece up. Attach it underneath the side pieces and flatten it out so it looks like this.

Whenever you want to use the fold-down cup holder, just fold this section down, and you can reach your cup holder.

One thing to note with this section: pull your seat belt out before you attach it, like so. Then attach the middle section with the Velcro. You can adjust the height by pulling it up so it looks nice and smooth. You might have to straighten out the side pieces a little so everything fits how you want.

Headrests and finish (6:49)

The last thing to do is the headrests. You’ll have three headrest covers: two bigger ones and a smaller one. It depends on your SUV, and you might have three of the same size. The elastic makes them very easy to install. Lift your headrest up, push the cover over it and line it up how you want. Push the headrest down. You can work out any creases or wrinkles by pushing them under. It should look like this. Do the same with the outside headrests.

When your back seat is done, it should look something like this. If you have any questions at all, call us at 763-334-3581 or email us at info@seatcoversolutions.com.

Today I’m going to show you how to install the top section of your front seat, with some tips for getting it down when it’s a tighter fit. That’s mainly on vehicles like Rams, or even some F-150s, which have slightly bigger seats.

The first big tip is to make sure the zipper is unzipped. Then put the cover on a little way. The big tip is that you really have to work it down. As you can see with this one, it takes some effort to get it down there.

Then come around the back. Once it’s shimmied down pretty well, go up to the buttons. You’ll notice they don’t fully line up with the headrest pegs. That means the cover isn’t centered, so adjust it and push these underneath like this. Do the same on this side. It takes a little wiggling. The goal is to tuck it under the plastic there, so it looks something like this. Then go around the front and readjust. Once it’s tucked under the plastic, it’s easier to adjust and get it further down the seat.

Next, push the two wheels through the crease. That helps get the cover down further and holds it in the crease.

Tucking and zipping (2:00)

Another thing that helps get the cover down is tucking it into the hard plastic trim on the sides. It looks better and lets you get the cover down further if needed. These are semi-universal seat covers, so they won’t fit 100% perfectly, but with a little extra tucking you can make them look almost like reupholstery. Once that side is tucked in, do the same on the inside, then come around the back to zip the zipper.

With it tucked into the plastic, the last step is to zip the barn door. On really big seats, like a TRX, you might have to pull the two sides together before you can zip it. After using the covers for a week or two, you’ll be able to readjust them. You can pull on these corners to work the cover down as far as possible. Over time, it will fit your seat better.

Remove wrinkles (3:08)

If the cover has small creases like these, rub them out with a hot rag or a steamer.

Side straps (3:15)

Your vehicle might let you tuck the sides in without using the side straps. If so, that’s fine, but you can still use the straps for extra security. For the side straps, push the strap between the plastic trim and the seat. You can either push it through with the zip tie like this and run it all the way under the seat, or, another tip, pull it up to the front like this. Then run your straps through the side straps like this. That holds the side in. Do the same on the inside.

Undoing the felt lining (3:57)

Depending on your vehicle, you might have a felt backing here that hides the crease. Reach underneath. It should be held on with straps, or possibly a zipper depending on the vehicle. The elastic straps look like this. Unhook them and fold the felt up. Now you can see the crease of the seat. Readjust your wheels so they lie flat and can’t slip back through the crease.

Accessing the back cup holder (4:26)

Whenever you want to use your fold-down cup holder, undo the Velcro on both sides and fold that section down. It should look like this, and then you can reach your cup holder.

Popping out the rear seats (4:42)

On most SUVs, you pop the seat straight up by pulling like this, and it should come out. You might have to pull pretty hard. Depending on your vehicle, there might be a little tab you have to push to the side.

Most sedans also let you pull straight up and the seat pops out naturally. You’ll have to pull pretty hard. Feel along the crease here, because some have a little tab you need to pull. I’ll pull it to the side here, and then it comes up easily. See this tab right here?

If your back seat is bolted down, use a 14 mm wrench and unscrew it like this. I’ve already done that here. Then just lift up the back seat like this, and you’ll be able to install the cover freely.

Folding the 60/40 split (5:33)

Before we start here, here’s a tip for folding up either the 60 or 40 section of your back seat. Because the covers attach with Velcro, just put your hand in and go like this. You’ll have to push this part over, so I recommend folding it back a little while you do it, like so. Then you can fold up the 40 section. You can do the same with the 60 section. In fact, the 60 section is a little easier, because you can just undo this and fold it up. There you go.

Introduction (0:05)

Now I’m going to show you how to put headrest covers on the back seat of your sedan if your headrests are removable, like they are here. The finished product will look something like this.

Removable outer headrest (0:15)

We’ll start with the left side. You could take the headrest off, but it really isn’t necessary. I’m just going to slip the cover over, just like this. Then tuck this piece underneath and through, just like this, so it tucks through here. Then strap it underneath to whatever tightness you want, like that. You can push the headrest down or leave it up, whichever you prefer.

Middle headrest (0:50)

This middle headrest is a little thicker and a little different. It doesn’t look like the cover will fit, but it will. I’ll show you. You can use the push method or the knee technique, whatever works for you. Slide it on like that, twist it like this to get it in, then work it like this to get it to fit. It will look pretty good there. Then slide it down, just like that. You can adjust it to get whatever look you want, but that’s pretty much the finished product.

Attached (fixed) headrest (1:27)

Now I’ll show you how to put a headrest cover on an attached headrest in the back seat. Slip the cover over it. Instead of tucking it under like we normally would, push it through the little crease at the back, just like this. Shove it down so it stays in place. Then come around to the front and tuck it to whatever length you want so it fits well.
