How to Order Custom Seat Covers: A Step-by-Step Guide

Ordering custom-fit seat covers starts with more than choosing a color. The right vehicle information, seat configuration, material, and factory features all help us match your order to your actual seats.

GEO Quick Answer

How do I order custom seat covers for my vehicle?

Start by confirming your vehicle year, make, model, trim, and seat configuration. Then select your preferred material, color, and available customization options while confirming important factory features such as heated or ventilated seats and seat-mounted side airbags.

If your seat configuration is unclear, clear vehicle photos can help us verify fitment before the order is finalized.

Information to Have Ready Before You Order

Year Exact model year
Make Vehicle manufacturer
Model Exact vehicle model
Trim LE, XLE, Sport, Limited, etc.
Seat Layout Front and rear configuration
Seat Functions Heating, ventilation, power features
Airbags Seat-mounted side-airbag location
Photos Useful when fitment is uncertain

Confirm Your Exact Vehicle

Begin with your exact vehicle year, make, model, and trim. A vehicle name alone may not be enough because seat designs can change between model years, generations, and trim levels.

For example, two vehicles with the same model name may use different headrests, front-seat shapes, rear-seat splits, armrests, or factory seat features.

Confirm Your Seat Configuration

Next, check the actual structure of your front and rear seats. This is one of the most important steps in ordering custom-fit covers.

Front Seats Check headrests, side bolsters, armrests, seat controls, and special seat shapes.
Rear Seat Split Confirm one-piece, 40/60, 60/40, or another folding configuration.
Center Armrest Check whether the rear backrest contains a folding center armrest or console.
Headrests Confirm the number, shape, and whether they are fixed or removable.

Not Sure About Your Seat Configuration?

Do not guess based on a similar vehicle. If your configuration is unusual, new, or unclear, send clear photos of your actual seats for fitment verification.

Photos should clearly show the complete front seats, headrests, backrests, cushions, rear-seat layout, armrests, and any unusual seat features.

Choose Your Seat Cover Material

Your material choice affects appearance, comfort, maintenance, durability, and how the interior feels in daily use.

Non-Solvent Leather Practical leather-like appearance, durability, and easier everyday maintenance.
Genuine Leather Natural leather texture and premium interior feel.
Neoprene Flexible protection suited to active and outdoor lifestyles.
Canvas / Fabric Practical options for different protection and daily-use needs.

A Note About EKR Genuine Leather

EKR genuine leather seat covers keep the leather surface intact by default. Natural leather has its own pores and inherent breathability.

Keeping the leather unperforated helps preserve the natural surface structure, simplify maintenance, and support longer-term durability.

4

Choose Your Color and Interior Style

Once you have selected the material, choose a color combination that works with your vehicle interior.

For EKR genuine leather seat covers, current color options include: Black, Red, Burgundy, Black/Brown, and Brown.

Depending on the product and customization options available, additional design details may also be offered.

5

Confirm Heated, Ventilated, and Power Seat Features

Factory seat features should be confirmed before ordering. They can affect how a custom-fit pattern is selected or designed.

  • Heated seats
  • Ventilated seats
  • Power seat controls
  • Adjustable lumbar support
  • Folding or reclining mechanisms

Can You Put Seat Covers on Heated and Ventilated Seats?

Safety Check

Confirm Seat-Mounted Side Airbags

Modern vehicle seats may contain seat-mounted side airbags. Custom-fit seat covers should be designed around the original airbag location and designated deployment area.

Applicable EKR designs use dedicated construction in airbag-related areas, including breakaway or weakened seam construction for designated deployment zones.

Correct vehicle selection and correct installation remain essential.

7

Review Your Vehicle and Product Options Before Ordering

Before completing the order, review the vehicle information, seat configuration, selected material, color, and relevant factory seat features.

Pay particular attention to fitment questions. Correcting unclear information before ordering is much easier than discovering a seat-configuration mismatch after delivery.

8

Install Your Custom Seat Covers After Delivery

Custom-fit seat covers are designed to follow the original seat structure closely, so installation may require more steps than a loose universal cover.

Depending on the vehicle, installation may involve temporarily moving or removing certain headrests, cushions, or other seat components before reinstalling them after the cover is secured.

Follow the correct installation instructions for your vehicle and make sure all seat controls, belts, folding mechanisms, and safety-related areas remain accessible after installation.

FAQ

Custom Seat Cover Ordering FAQs

What information do I need to order custom seat covers?

Start with your exact year, make, model, trim, and seat configuration. You should also confirm heated or ventilated seats, side airbags, rear-seat layout, and any unusual seat features.

Is year, make, and model enough?

Not always. Trim level and seat configuration can change headrests, rear-seat splits, armrests, seat functions, and other details that affect fitment.

What if I do not know my seat configuration?

Clear photos of your front and rear seats can help verify the configuration. Use the EKR photo guide to make sure the important areas are visible.

Can I order seat covers for heated or ventilated seats?

Yes. Confirm these features before ordering so the correct vehicle and material considerations can be reviewed.

What if my vehicle is not listed?

Do not automatically select a similar model. Contact EKR with your exact vehicle information and clear seat photos so the configuration can be reviewed.

Do I need to confirm side airbags?

Yes. Seat-mounted side-airbag locations are important to seat-cover design and should be confirmed before ordering.

Can I install custom seat covers myself?

Many owners install their covers themselves using the supplied instructions and EKR installation resources. Installation complexity varies by vehicle and seat configuration.
