    How to fit JK Seat Covers to your VW T5 or VW T6 Transporter

    How to fit JK Seat Covers to your VW T5 or VW T6 TransporterHere we show you how to fit our Just Kampers Seat Covers to your VW T5 or T6 Transporter. To find out more about our seat covers visit visit our seat covers page.How to fit seat covers to your VW Camper Here’s a quick guide on fitting a set of cab seat covers to your Volkswagen camper. Whether you just want your seats to look cooler, or you want to protect them from dirt, mud, and UV damage, a set of new seat covers are a great way to refresh the look of your van. In this handy guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of fitting seat covers to your van's driver and passenger seats, leaving you with a professional and snug fit. Step One: Preparing the seat covers Start by unpacking the seat covers and familiarizing yourself with the different parts. This will make your job easier later on, so you’re not trying to remember which cover goes on which part of which seat. The following steps are largely the same for either the drivers or passengers seats, and will apply whether your Transporter has a single or double passenger seat. Step Two: Removing the seat base Locate and remove the circular retaining clip that holds the hinge mechanism in place for the passenger seat base. Pull the seat base towards you to detach it easily. Step Three: Fitting the seat base covers Place the passenger seat cover over the passenger seat base, tucking the edges over as you work your way around. Use the metal hooks provided to attach the elasticated retaining straps underneath the seat base, and use pliers to close the hooks if necessary for a secure hold. Now we’re ready to fit the cover to the back of the passenger seat. If your van has a bulkhead you’ll need to undo the eight bolts holding the passenger seat down to tip it forward to get to the next part. Step Four: Fitting the seat back covers Remove the headrests and carefully place the cover over the rear seat section. Feed the central passenger seat belt buckle through the hole in the cover and zip up for a proper fit.Tilt the passenger seat forward as far as possible and pull the seat cover into place. Push the headrest post guides through the pre-punched holes and zip up the retaining zips on both sides of the seat back.Loosen or fully remove the protective trim on the front seat base for easier installation. Tuck the cover in place and use the provided straps and hooks to secure it. Ensure the front and rear of the headrest covers are correctly identified and fitted. Step Five: Fitting the armrest covers Slide the armrest covers into place for the finishing touch. Any wrinkles caused by packing will smooth out with use, leaving your seats looking luxurious and comfortable. Step Six: Final checks and replacement Replace all of your seat headrests and ensure all zips are securely fastened. Your ordinary seats have now been transformed into luxury seats, ready to elevate your van's interior! And that’s it, you’re all done! We hope you found this guide helpful, and we hope you really enjoy the new look and feel of your Transporter’s front seats.{{widget type="Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList" template="Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml" anchor_text="" id_path="" show_pager="0" products_count="10" condition_option="sku" condition_option_value="J42757, J42291, J42290, J42756, J42855, J45955" type_name="Catalog Products List" conditions_encoded="^[`1`:^[`aggregator`:`all`,`new_child`:``,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Combine`,`value`:`1`^],`1--1`:^[`operator`:`()`,`type`:`Magento||CatalogWidget||Model||Rule||Condition||Product`,`attribute`:`sku`,`value`:`J42757, J42291, J42290, J42756, J42855, J45955`^]^]" sort_order="price_high_to_low"}}Did you know that our colleagues at Just Kampers Insurance have been offering specialist vehicle insurance since 1998?You can get a great deal on insurance for a huge range of vehicles, from daily drivers to treasured campervans, and everything in between.
