  • Tear-Resistant Fabric: Withstands tool drops and rough gear.
  • Fold-Flat Compatibility: Works with the passenger-seat lever.
  • Easy Cleaning: Wipe down or hose off any mess.

Consequently, your van stays sharp, professional, and ready for work.

  • Trim removal tools for plastic clips

  3. Remove Headrests: Push tab and lever to free posts.
