Lavida front seat cushion installation method for seat covers is as follows: 1. Headrest installation: Directly slip over the seat headrest and adjust; 2. Backrest installation: Directly slip over the backrest, tighten the bottom elastic band, and fasten the buckle; 3. Seat cushion installation: After covering, tighten the inner bottom elastic band, and fasten the buckle or tie. Taking the Lavida 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Lavida 2021 model is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When installing seat covers for the front seats of the Lavida, it generally involves several steps. First, park the vehicle securely, turn off the engine, and adjust the seat forward to create enough space near the headrest for easier operation. Next, take out the seat cover, align it properly, and start by slipping it over the headrest. Gently pull it down to smoothly cover the backrest section. Securing the straps is crucial—ensure all elastic bands or hooks are firmly attached to the metal frame beneath the seat to prevent sliding while driving. Then, check that the front and sides are free of wrinkles to avoid discomfort while sitting. Materials like linen are easier to install, but thicker options might require more effort. Throughout the process, be careful not to obstruct the airbag labels on the sides of the seat, as this could affect airbag deployment in an emergency. After installing it a few times yourself, you’ll be able to do it quickly, and the only tool needed is a seat hook.
Last time I spent less than ten minutes installing front seat covers for my Lavida. First, I slid the seat all the way forward to create more space for easier access. After unpacking the seat covers, I simply draped them over the backrest and secured the headrest portion. The key is to tighten the side straps and hook them into the seat gaps to avoid looseness. I found plastic hooks quite useful as they don't damage the seats. Choosing semi-wrapped seat covers makes installation easier - genuine leather ones might require more effort to align the edges. Regular inspection for aging or broken straps is essential. After installation, I tested the fit by sitting a few times to ensure proper alignment without affecting the original seat heating function. It's a simple DIY job that saves money and gives peace of mind.
