Installation Tip

* Take your time during installation. Proper adjustment creates a factory-style appearance.

* Make sure straps are tightened evenly underneath the seat.

* Push excess fabric into the seat gaps instead of leaving loose areas.

* Always check that seat functions, airbags, and seat adjustments work normally after installation.

* If the cover feels tight during installation, adjust the position gradually instead of pulling too hard.
