How to Install Rugged Ridge Front Seat Covers Pair - Black Neoprene on your 1997-2006 Wrangler

Step (1) Set the cover sections out to identify driver from passenger (a). The upper sections can be identified by looking at the slit sewn in for the pull lever on the side of the seat (if applicable) for the upper portions. This slit should be facing towards the door on each side. The lower sections can be identified by looking for the slits sewn in for the seat belt receptacle and the seat back adjustment lever (b).

Step (2) The process will be easier if you install the lower portions first. Begin by opening the flaps on both sides (a).

Step (3) Slide the front of the cover on, while leaving the straps hanging out of the front. While pulling the cover to the back of the seat, make sure to pull the seat belt receptacle and seat back release lever through the sewn slits (a, b). To tighten the fit, the bottom of the neoprene can be tucked between the side support and the seat’s fabric cover (c). Pull the straps on the back of the bottom section through to the back of the seat (d). Reach under the seat and attach the buckles on the straps together. Use the excess strap to pull the seats tight. Be careful not to over tighten these straps. There should be an even surface where the straps lie under the cover.

Step (4) Slide seat forward and up (a). Pull back flap of lower portion between upper and lower portion of seat. Use the Velcro to attach this rear flap to the seat and then attach the Velcro on both side flaps to the rear flap’s Velcro on it’s outside surface (b).

Step (5) Slide top portion on seat onto seat. There is a sewn slit for seats with seat riser release levers (a). Pull the flap at the front of the upper cover between the upper and lower seat sections and through to the back of the seat. Use the Velcro on the inside of the backside of the cover to attach it to the front flap that you have pulled through (b).
