Installation Instructions - Seat Covers, Front Kit
Remove the driver side seatback tilt lever by
using a finger to lift and pull the top spring
clip wire up, and push toward the front of the
seat to unlock the lever from the shaft.
Repeat this procedure on the passenger
seat. Note that the spring clip open end
faces the rear of the vehicle on both the
driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.
Step 1
Once the spring clip is in the unlocked position,
pull the lever straight off the shaft. After remov-
ing the lever from the shaft, push the spring clip
back into the locked position, and set the lever
aside for now.
Repeat this procedure on the passenger seat.
Note that the passenger seat in 2-door vehicles
has one 2-arm lever, which removes the same
way as the single-arm levers in 4-door vehicles.
WARNING to preserve airbag functionality,
you MUST remove the seatback tilt levers
before placing the seat covers over the seats.

Step 1
Let the fabric flap drop into place, stretching
the fabric to make sure the seatback tilt
lever shaft protrudes through the hole in the
flap.
Repeat this procedure for the passenger
seat.
Note: Passenger side lever is different on
2-door vehicles.
Push the fabric back to expose the groove on
the shaft if necessary, and with the retaining clip
in the locked position on the seatback tilt lever,
slide the lever onto the shaft on the seat until
the retaining clip snaps into place.
Give the lever a tug once the clip has snapped
into place to make sure that the lever is secure
on the shaft.

Step 1
Tilt the seatback forward and tuck the flap and
the straps at the bottom of the seat cover
between the seatback and the seat bottom, so
the straps are underneath the seat.
Bring the straps forward, and drape them over
the slide release bar at the front of the seat.
Repeat this procedure for the passenger seat.
Step 2
Before you tuck the flap at the bottom of the
cover between the seatback and bottom,
tuck the airbag flap into the airbag opening
with one hand, while at the same time
reaching up under the front of the seat cover
with the other hand to pull the airbag flap
tight and smooth inside the seat cover.
Repeat this procedure for the passenger
seat.
NOTE: the airbag flap
should lie flat and smooth
under the seat cover.

Installation Instructions - Seat Covers, Front Kit
Step 1
Attach the two ends of the elastic cords
to the closed end of the the s-hook. Attach the
s-hook to a cross-member or wire underneath the
seat, making sure to keep the cords away from
the seat adjustment tracks.
Attach the 4 nylon straps at the front of the
underside of the seat to the buckles.
Give the straps a gentle tug to snug the covers.
Verify the straps do not interfere with or unplug
any of the wiring found under the seat.
Make sure that the seat will tilt forward and back,
and slide from front to back without the seat rail
snagging the straps.
Step 2
Slip the seat bottom cover over the seat, working
the fabric toward the rear of the seat. Carefully fit
the hole in the fabric over and around the seat
height adjustment lever.
Tuck the nylon straps between the seatback and
the seat bottom, and bring them to the front of the
underside of the seat.
Tuck the flap between the seatback and seat
bottom, and attach the hook-&-loop fabric tab on
the inside of the seat cover flap to the carpeted
area underneath the rear of the seat bottom.
Note: Tilting the
seatback forward slightly
will allow easier access
to tuck the straps and
the flap between the
seatback and seat bottom.
