Seat Cover Installation

  • Start with all seat covers inside out
  • Pull the cover over the top 1/3 of the seat and then pull seat belts through the opening.
  • Spray glue on the seat cover now (see next slide). Wait for glue to become tacky (approx. 5 minutes)
  • Roll cover down. Do not press it in place until it is properly aligned at the bottom (see picture on slide 7).
  • Once aligned, press down, working from top to bottom.
  • Spray glue directly on the foam in the areas shown. Do not get glue on the bolsters
  • Spray glue on the seat cover ONLY on the sewing line pleats/seams and not in between
  • Roll down the cover over the foam and align the cover seam to the edge of the pink foam
  • After aligning and confirming it is straight, start pressing the glue surfaces together.
  • Press on each pleat
  • Zip cover & tuck in the zipper
  • Repeat process on all seats
