What Are Exact Fit Seat Covers?

Exact-fit seat covers are custom-designed covers tailored to the precise measurements of a vehicle's seats.

Here are some tips to help you install a seat bottom cover effectively:

Review The Instructions Carefully

Before you begin, thoroughly refer to the instructions that come with your exact-fit seat covers. Every manufacturer may have slightly different installation processes, so understanding the steps specific to your cover will help you avoid mistakes.

Take “Before” Photos

Photograph the seat from various angles to capture its original setup. This will help as a reference during reinstallation.

Prepare Your Seats

Make sure your seats are clean and free from debris. Vacuum the seats and wipe them down to remove dust, dirt, and crumbs.

Remove Any Obstacles

If your vehicle has removable headrests or armrests, take them off before installation. This allows you to fit the seat covers over the seats without obstruction and ensures a smooth fit.

Remove The Seat

Loosen the bolts holding the seat and carefully disconnect any electrical wires attached underneath.

Remove Seat Controls

Carefully detach control panels or knobs connected to the seat, noting their positions for reinstallation.

Detach Seat Cover

Unclip and slide off the old cover from the seat cushion, checking for any hidden attachments.

Install New Cover

Attach the new seat cover securely, ensuring it aligns well with the cushion and fits smoothly.

Reattach Controls And Seat

Reconnect wires and secure the seat back with bolts, ensuring it’s stable and aligned.

Smooth Wrinkles

Use a steamer to gently remove any wrinkles on the new cover for a clean, finished look.

Final Adjustments

After everything is installed, sit in the seats and check for adjustments. Make sure the covers are smooth, secure, and comfortable.
