Video tutorial

In this video, you can see the steps to follow to fit universal seat covers in your car. First, you should know that original seat covers are likely of better quality, but if you don't want to spend much, you can choose universal ones that are also good to use. When buying seat covers, first consider how your seats are made (presence of airbags, etc.), how many seats there are, and so on. This factor plays an important role in effectively covering your seats.

If there are airbags in the seats, do not cover them with any material.

Check if the seat cover has provisions for the seat belts to pass through, and if not, create them yourself. To fit the seat covers, start with the rear seats by first removing the headrests and sliding the seat covers on, starting from the headrests.

Slightly tilt the rear seats forward and slide the seat covers on as shown in the video. Slide the headrests into the seat and continue with the front seats.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
