Tools & Materials Needed

Before beginning the installation, gather the following:

  • Marker or tape (optional for alignment)
  • Flat workspace inside or outside your van

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Seat for Installation

  • Move the seat forward and tilt the seatback to the furthest forward position.
  • Remove the headrest by pressing the release tabs and pulling it out.
  • Ensure the seat is free of debris for a smooth fit.

2. Install the Seat Back Cover

  • Turn the seat cover inside out about three-quarters of the way for an easier application.
  • Align the airbag tag on the cover with the airbag side of the seat.
  • Slip the cover over the seatback, making sure the lumbar support knob is exposed.
  • Push the rear fabric flap through the gap between the seatback and bottom.
  • Pull the fabric tight and attach the Velcro straps at the back.

3. Install the Seat Bottom Cover

  • Identify the front of the seat bottom cover.
  • Slip the cover over the seat cushion, ensuring the edges fit around the seat contours.
  • Tuck the cover between the seat trim and cushion for a seamless fit.
  • Guide the string straps through to the back of the seat.
  • Reach behind the seat, grab the string straps, and feed them into the string lock.
  • Pull the strings tight to secure the cover, ensuring a smooth, wrinkle-free finish.

4. Secure and Adjust the Covers

  • Once the seat bottom cover is in place, tuck the excess string under the cover for a cleaner look.
  • Reinstall the headrest, aligning it with the cover openings.
  • Slip the headrest cover over the headrest and secure the Velcro at the bottom.

5. Install the Armrest Cover

  • Wrap the armrest cover around the armrest.
  • Secure it tightly using the Velcro strap on the underside.
  • Ensure the cover doesn’t interfere with armrest movement.
