How to Remove the Seat Covers of the Ford Escort?
2 Answers
The method for removing the seat covers of the Ford Escort is as follows: 1. For the seat cushion removal, reach under the seat to locate the buckles on both the left and right sides; 2. Simultaneously pull the handles of the buckles on both sides and lift upwards; 3. Pull backward to remove the rear seat cushion; 4. Fold down the rear seats (i.e., recline the rear backrest cushion). At the two shoulder positions on the backrest, which are behind the left and right seat belts, this area is not stitched. Tear open the thin internal sponge (it must be torn open as the switch is hidden inside the sponge); 5. Pull the switch (tearing it open does not affect the appearance. Just find the wide wiring inside both ends and pull simultaneously to recline), then you can recline the rear seat backrest 4/6, allowing for removal.
When I first tried to remove the Escort seat covers, I felt a bit at a loss, but I gradually figured out a method. First, adjust the seat position to create more legroom, making the operation easier. The headrest can usually be easily removed—just pull it upward with force, and that's the first step in removing the seat covers. The seat covers themselves are secured to the back and bottom of the seat with Velcro and small hooks. Gently pull apart the Velcro by hand, then carefully unhook the fasteners without using excessive force to avoid tearing the fabric. Patience is key throughout the process. After removal, check the seat covers for stains or wear—giving them a clean can extend their lifespan. If you feel stuck, try adjusting the angle and gently pushing or pulling to avoid damaging the seat structure.
