How to choose and fit rear seat covers

Rear seat covers for your car can help to protect the original rear seats and their covers from damage and wear. This is great because it means that when you come to sell your vehicle, it will be in the best condition possible. There are many reasons for wanting to buy car seat protections and this article looks at how to choose which ones are necessary and how to fit them.

How to choose

Choosing seat covers which match your requirements can be a difficult process if you consider how many uses car seat covers have. Consider some of the points below before you spend money on what can potentially be very expensive car accessories. Animals Many people buy car seat covers to protect their back seats from animal claws or from excessive animal fur and hair that is difficult to remove. If you have an animal like a dog which regularly sits in the back of your car, then you need to consider that they will slip on car seat covers that are shiny-surfaced or made of plastic, so get some that are made out of machine washable material to aid the cleaning process. Dirty work If you do work which is particularly messy or brings with it a lot of dust and particles, then you need to be getting hard wearing and long lasting seat covers that will be easy to clean regularly. Look for shiny-surfaced plastic covers which are waterproof and are difficult to rip and tear. Modifications Car modifications extend to seat covers too and you can find a range of sports seat covers or personalised / custom car seat covers to go with various different cars. Some match the car make and model and some just have general themes like sports. Matching headrest covers come with many of these kits, so you may be able to get some more modifications done in the same kit.

How to fit them

Most car seat covers are very easy to fit. Usually, you will be presented with the folded cover and you should unfold it inside the car to ensure that you do not rip it on the way into the car. Then you should lay it over the seats where the seams join up. Most seat covers will have elasticated seams and rims that 'snap on' to the seats and some need tying up behind the seats which you can either do by pulling the seats down in the car or by tying them behind the seats in the boot.
