Northwest Seat Covers - Seat Style Guide

Leonardo DiVinci may have produced a hand drawing of his idea for a self-propelled vehicle in 1495 and Karl Benz may have first introduced the idea of a motorized “Tricycle” with a single bucket seat in 1886 but, it was Ransom Eli Olds who introduced the “Oldsmobile Curved Dash” in 1901 with its bench seat that got everything rolling.

All modern-day automotive seating can trace its origins back to the classic bucket style seat from Daimler -Benz and bench seat from that Oldsmobile in 1901.

HEADREST AND LATCH HOLES

In many models, headrest holes, power holes and/or latch holes are not cut. This is due to past trouble with properly aligning the covers once the holes were cut. In these cases, it was deemed better to cut the holes once the cover is properly aligned and installed.

To make these holes, simply install the cover, then cut a small "X" cut over the area where the hole needs to be. Then, in the case of a latch hole, lift the cover up and slide the latch through the hole.

This process ensures that the holes are placed in correct spot every time!
