Car seat covers are exposed to wear and stains, and may need replacing at some point during your vehicle's life. Bancarel, the car seat cover specialist since 1973, offers advice here on how to change your car seat covers.

Why change your seat covers ?

Changing your seat covers can become necessary after several years, whether to give your vehicle a fresh new look, to replace damaged interior seat covers that were protecting your seats, or to prepare your vehicle for resale and boost its value.

How do you change your car seat covers?

To change your seat covers, you first need to buy the right model for your vehicle. To do this, specialist websites like Bancarel offer standard or custom-made car seat covers. 

Order the right car seat cover for your vehicle 

Standard or premium seat covers are made for the most common models on the market and are primarily designed to protect the seats rather than to dress them up.

Custom-made covers, on the other hand, are available for owners who want to personalize their vehicle's interior for a fully bespoke result. That's why Bancarel offers seat covers for more than 40 major car brands and their associated models, by year.

Thanks to our online configurator, you can select the right interior car seat cover by specifying the number of armrests, airbags, storage pockets, desired finish, and more.

How do you fit seat covers? 

Once you've received your covers, it's time for fitting. For this, you'll need a flat-head screwdriver, the hooks provided, the fitting instructions, and the covers themselves.

Our video explains in detail how to fit your new covers: 

Step 1 : Start with the front seats, driver or passenger side. Position the front of the seat cushion following the seam. Pull the cover taut and secure it with the hooks and elastic, using the screwdriver to help. Then fit the cover over the top of the seat back, hooking the elastics underneath the seat. Finally, fit the headrest cover by sliding it on. Repeat for the other seat. 

Step 2 : Fit the covers onto the rear seats by folding the seats forward (after first removing the headrests). Pull the cover taut and secure it with the hooks or velcro, depending on the model. Tuck the excess fabric behind the backrest so it comes out at the back. Hook it underneath using the velcro or the cover's elastics. Tuck the cover under the headrest covers using the screwdriver for a perfect finish, then add the headrest covers. For the seat cushion, fit and secure the rear covers the same way as for the front seats. 

And there you have it — your seat covers are fitted and your vehicle is personalized!
