Howto: Install seatcovers on LX/Super S folding seats.

Installing seat covers on folding seats

Ok, sure, you can slide a seat cover over the chair and away you go. But what about when you need to get into the back? Fumble around with the slider with the seat cover in the way? NO THANKS!

Heres a little obvious tip on installing seat covers.

Granted your cover isnt a family heirloom, youre going to have to give it a little cut. First, put the chair cover over the seat usual. Sit in it and leave it for about a day of normal driving, allowing the cover to settle and find its own place.

The next day, with a SHARP flat knife, (no steak knives) feel for the slot that the slider lives in and carefully cut down the slot. Lift up the slider and continue the cut down to the end of the slot. With this single straight cut the entire mechanism should fit through. Now ease the edges under the plastic slot so that its flush and looks nice.

Well! Thats it! Easy job with a stunning professional look.

Keep on Micra'ing! :D

A little offtopic but I find it disturbing that a male under the age of 50 has sheepskin seat covers on his car. :P

I used to have them on the SLX micra..but they were mums and I cbf taking them off....heh

They were only $30. And they are comfortable :D

Is there something about sheepskin that threatens a man's masculinity if he's under 50??? What is it with you guys?

I dunno but the only animal skin I want as my seat is some nice cow hide. :P

Ok, so its the whole fluffy thing lol

I have sheepskin covers on BOTH my Micras. Would not be without them.
Cool in summer and warm in winter.Bloody leather is so cold and man in the middle of summer talk about getting hot in those private places. Slide around all over the place also. Sheepskin keep you nice and snug.
Oh shite I must be over 50!!!
