This installation guide is a recommended guideline only and it is designed as a guide for fitting Optimise Automotive products.
We do not have detailed fitting guides for seat covers I’m afraid - we have attempted to put guides together in the past but it is just not something that is possible to put down in writing. The best thing to say is that the covers fit just as the originals (unless otherwise stated below), so when you take off the original covers have a good look at how they are attached.
The covers fit just as the originals, so when you take off the original covers have a good look at how they are attached. The accessories and fixing that are included are used as follows:
The single clips are used for the back tap on the front seat cushion cover (the first layer you will attach on the rail).
The double clips are used all around the base of the front seat cushion (sides and front) and also for the first layer of the front seat squab tab (this piece is pulled through under the squab and attached to the rail that you attached the rear cushion tab to).
The C clips are used to fix the cushion covers border to the round legs at the back (the vertical legs).
The triple clips are used for the back squab tab (which is pulled down and attached to the same rail as the other pieces).

The hardboard rings go in the pockets at the base of the seat squab. Depending on the model of seat, the hole on the ring is either the hole for the reclining handle or the hole for the rivet.

The MDF panel is inserted into the head rest (this is an additional feature, that is not original), allowing you to staple the headrest cover to the new board (as the original piece of wood within the headrest frame is often damaged) and then also allows you to reintroduce the original plastic panel after you have installed the head rest cover, which finishes the retrim off nice and neatly.

Now that your items are fitted test to ensure that they are secure before you drive your vehicle.
