Map of Seat Cover Pieces
- Your custom seat covers are designed in several pieces to create the best fit.
- These drawings represent what kinds of pieces to expect, but will not match your vehicle precisely.
- Some pieces (mostly driver side) will be labeled with their location in the vehicle.
- Unlabeled pieces which look similar to labeled pieces can be assigned to the matching seat section on the opposite side of the vehicle.
Getting The Correct Side
Driver side and passenger side pieces can look very similar, but they are NOT the same. The airbag accommodations will only line up correctly if the piece has been installed on the correct seat.
Look for a label indicating the Driver side piece.
Pieces not specifically labeled as driver side are likely either for center sections or the passenger side.
Installation Instruction Videos
Ruff Tuff has created several videos to guide you through your installation. Even if your specific vehicle is not listed, watching a video may help you understand the process. You can find the full playlist here:
