Can I install the custom seat covers myself?

Yes. Installation instructions are sent with each seat cover. You can also refer to the how-to videos on our website. If you get stuck, feel free to call or email.
I’m having a problem with installing my seat covers. How do I get help?

We have a page dedicated to resources for installation here.

You can also call or email us with questions.
If I cannot determine what seat style I have, or they are not the original seats, what should I do?

Please email customerservice@rufftuff.com, or call 1-800-453-8830 (US only) or 801-972-5845.
Will the custom seat cover that I order replace my existing seat fabric?

Ruff Tuff seat covers are designed to go over the existing fabric on your seats. Our covers are not upholstery, and you should not take off the existing fabric.
I have pockets on the back of my front seats. Will I have access to them?

No. We offer pockets as an option that can be added to the back your seat covers. We also offer pockets on the front bottoms for your convenience.

Some vehicles have a large, hard, plastic panel on the backs of the front seats, which may include a pocket. This type of pocket will remain accessible.
Will my heated / cooled seats still work?

Ruff Tuff seat covers affect the performance of heated and cooled seats. In heated seats the impact is minimal. In cooled (air-conditioned) seats, airflow is restricted, but some of the cooling effect is preserved.
If I order a 40/20/40, what will I receive?

If the top of your 20 Section opens, you will receive seven pieces (not including headrest covers): two bottom and two backrest pieces for the bucket seats on each side; the center section bottom; the backrest piece of the fold-down top; and the lid cover for the fold-down. If your center section does not open, you will receive the same as above, without the lid cover.
The owner’s manual for my vehicle says not to install seat covers because I have seat-mounted airbags. Does this mean that I cannot get custom seat covers?

No. That warning is written in the manual solely to protect the manufacturer. Ruff Tuff modifies the seat covers for all seats with seat-mounted airbags. Either a cutout is placed in the side of the seat cover where the airbag would deploy, or a modified side panel is cut. It is extremely important that we know you have seat-mounted airbags so that proper modifications can be made.
Can I have my seat covers made to go over the adjustable headrests, so that the backrest is all one piece?

No. The adjustable headrests are designed to move up and down so that they adjust to the position of your head and neck. If they were covered over, they would not be able to be adjusted. Your safety, as well as your comfort, would be jeopardized.
