How to Install the Seat Covers for Roewe i5?
3 Answers
Roewe i5 seat cushion installation method is as follows: 1. First, unzip the seat cover and slip it over the top of the car seat. 2. Connect the flower-shaped disc to the elastic rope of the car seat cushion, then tuck it into the gap between the backrest and the seat. 3. Then pull out the flower-shaped disc and secure it between the seat backrest and the seat, which serves as a fixing mechanism. 4. Place the rope cover over the seat platform and hook the front hooks onto the chassis, completing the installation of the entire seat cover. Precautions regarding car seat covers are as follows: 1. Be careful during installation and removal. Avoid pulling too hard on the Velcro, elastic bands, or ropes used for sewing and installation to prevent affecting their use. 2. When the seat gets dirty, gently wipe it with a damp towel (be careful not to use excessive force). 3. Parts of the car interior that are exposed to direct sunlight for long periods (such as the upper part of the backrest) may experience discoloration. 4. Not suitable for seats with built-in side airbags. 5. Generally, fabric car seat covers should be replaced every 2 years or so.
I've installed seat covers several times by myself, and for models like the Roewe i5, it's quite time-consuming but fun. First, park the car in a clean area. If the seat covers are custom-made, they usually come with hooks and elastic straps. You need to secure the backrest and bottom parts first. I start from the bottom, hooking the clips into the metal rings under the seat, then tightening the straps. The Roewe i5 has small holes under the seats, making it easy to clip in. Next, adjust the cushion part, smoothing out the cover bit by bit to avoid wrinkles. Don’t forget to check the side airbag positions—never cover them, as safety comes first. After installation, sit down to test the fit; if it’s loose, make minor adjustments. This DIY job saves money on professional installation and protects against stains. It’s recommended to check the straps weekly for any looseness.
Last time I bought seat covers for my Roewe i5 and installed them myself, which wasn't easy as a beginner. After preparing the covers, I first read the instructions - there were several straps that needed to be secured under the seat. Sitting in the car, I worked bit by bit, starting with hooking the rear seat covers to the small rings underneath and tightening them. The Roewe i5 is well designed, making it easier to snap the hooks in place. Then I had to take my time pulling the cushion part, being careful not to use too much force and tear them. I forgot to leave space for the side airbags midway and had to redo that section. I didn't stop until I tested sitting on them and found them comfortable. I realized this protects the seats from getting dirty, making it worthwhile in the long run. After a few more practices, it became much easier - saving money and giving me peace of mind.
