2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Honda Genuine Rear Seat Cover:
- Prepare the Seats: Ensure the rear seats of your 2018 Honda Ridgeline are clean and free of debris before installation.
- Unfold the Cover: Carefully unfold the seat cover and identify the top and bottom sections, as well as the left and right sides.
- Position the Backrest Cover: Drape the backrest portion of the cover over the rear seat backrests. Align the cover with the contours of the seats and headrests. Ensure the "RIDGELINE" emblem is correctly oriented.
- Secure the Backrest: Fasten any straps or elastic loops provided with the cover around the back of the seat or under the seat to hold the backrest portion securely in place. Ensure seatbelt access points are clear.
- Position the Seat Base Cover: Place the seat base portion of the cover over the rear seat cushions. Smooth out any wrinkles.
- Secure the Seat Base: Attach any hooks, elastic bands, or buckles under the seat to secure the base cover. Ensure a snug, custom fit.
- Integrate Armrest/Cupholder: If your vehicle has a fold-down armrest with cupholders, ensure the seat cover allows for its proper function. The cover is designed to accommodate this feature, as shown in the image below.
- Final Adjustments: Adjust the cover to ensure all edges are tucked in and the fit is smooth and tight. Verify that all seatbelt buckles and child seat anchors are accessible and functional.
