Installation of Steel/Rubber Pedal Covers

Model: Seat Leon 1M - Years 1999-2005
Part: Accessory kit

In the automotive aftermarket, there is an overwhelming number of accessories, including covers for the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals. These are steel and rubber plates that replace the original rubber ones: this solution allows your foot to grip the pedal while enabling quicker movement between pedals, as well as providing a sportier appearance. To install, remove the original rubber covers and apply the new ones, ensuring the edges adhere perfectly to the respective supports. A practical solution is to soften the rubber in hot water.
