How to choose and install seat covers for Lada Vesta?

Most drivers are accustomed to treating their car with care, not only its chassis and body, but also its interior. Having bought a new car, many people immediately think about buying seat covers.

Lada Vesta is a car that has appeared on the market recently, but has already managed to attract the attention of many owners of domestic and imported cars. The seats of this model are covered with either regular fabric or a combined material with artificial leather and plastic inserts - it all depends on the configuration. Not all Vesta owners are satisfied with the standard seat upholstery, so they have to look for alternatives in the form of covers of different types and quality.

Advantages of using covers:

• increasing the service life of the car interior;
• practicality;
• giving the interior a more sporty and/or luxurious look.

So, you have already decided to use covers in your Lada Vesta. All that remains is to decide on their type and the material used.

Main types of cases:

• universal (suitable for several models at once, sold in regular car dealerships);
• model (sewn to order, which increases the cost of the kit).

Life hack: seat covers for Lada Vesta, installation, manufacturers

Car seat covers are a useful, practical, beautiful addition to the interior. You can buy universal covers for Lada Vesta. The choice allows the eye to roam! You can search for them, buy specially made ones for Lada Vesta seats, or have them sewn to order. The material and design can also be anything - all in order to add a “zest” to the car. Common materials for Lada Vesta car covers: eco-leather, jacquard, fabric. A good option is orthopedic covers. When placed on the seats, they create additional support for the back. Vesta looks good in them, and her back doesn’t get sore. Modern berend eco-leather covers - for example, the product: senator atlant lada vesta 15 sd - will roll up very beautifully and neatly! There are two types of tailoring: continuous and separate! The Lada Vesta does not have a leather interior. Perhaps this is the reason why you find out what types of cases there are, select the material, and research a topic for yourself. Even leatherette becomes pleasant and practical, judging by the reviews. The covers are easy to remove, wash, and then replace with others that more suit your style.

However, a set for all seats is not always purchased - some people consider it necessary to “cover” only the front seats of the Lada vesta, because they are used more often. It's true that factory upholstery covers are covered as a matter of practicality, to maintain their appearance - we don't approve of this and believe that covers are needed on all seats.

Installing seat covers on Vesta is simply a complicated matter

We put covers on the Lada Vesta: we have to take everything off. This does not apply to all options: if you buy a car seat cover, it will be enough to secure it behind the back with a tie. But if you bought a set of car seat covers for your Vesta, or ordered them from a studio, you will have to “sweat” or give this work to specialists - for 2-3 thousand rubles. If you decide to service your car yourself, start from the front seat - this way you will quickly understand the principle of operation.

When you are going to put on the front covers, remove the seats by taking them out of the car. To do this, grab the lever under the seat and push it all the way back. You will see two bolts on the slide - you need to unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver. The seats are ready to move. Just remember to apply lubricant to the slides before installation (about 10 g each).

If you are ready to put on the back covers, be prepared to have to remove the sofa. Pry the sofa cushion and lift it up. You will hear the clips coming out of the slots. Push the seat a little towards the trunk, then lift it up a little until it clicks - this is the loop coming out of engagement. Pull the sofa towards you. Unscrew all the backrest mounting bolts and remove the backrest from the interior.

All that remains is to work with all the elements, namely, by putting them in covers. If you bought a kit, then the process itself will be relatively simple - pull them onto the chairs, secure with Velcro/fasteners/ropes - depending on what the manufacturer has provided. Put the seats back in place and evaluate the results.

Installation

Many large companies that sell car covers offer installation services. You will be offered to put on the seats of your Vesta either in the car workshop itself or in any place convenient for you. Such a service usually costs 2-3 thousand rubles.

If you don’t want to pay for it and want to do everything yourself, then here are detailed instructions for installing covers :

• Before starting installation, it is advisable to remove the seats from your Lada (this also applies to the rear sofa). To remove them, unscrew the fastening nuts. In any case, installing covers on removed seats ensures a tighter fit and no slipping.
• Determine the type of fastening: cords, elastic bands, Velcro or hooks + loops. Place products on seats carefully, do not use sharp objects. It is better to wear special clothing to avoid damaging the covers.
• While dressing, do not forget to tighten the side support rollers. Make sure that no bubbles form on the seats.

Ready! Enjoy a new level of practicality and comfort in your Lada Vesta.

What are covers made of and what material is better - leather, velor or jacquard

Lada Vesta is equipped with seats covered with a combined material. And new car covers are a choice based on your preferences. You can choose something from fabric:

Velor (wear-resistant, easy to decorate, traces of spilled liquid remain); Jacquard (increased wear resistance, presence of small holes for ventilation); Fur car covers (soft, can add luxury to the interior, but collect dust, crumbs, dirt); Plush/faux fur (soft at first, but becomes tough over time and collects debris even more easily); Synthetic polyester (washable, dries quickly, pleasant to the touch, practically does not lose its shape, is poorly ventilated). In addition to fabric upholstery, eco-leather and natural leather can be placed in a separate row. Sets are made from genuine leather only to order. The leather interior is overly loved by everyone, but its undeniable disadvantage is overheating in hot summer weather. Faux leather is a fabric base with additives.

Removing seats

After removing the battery, they begin to remove all the seats and the back of the rear sofa (it is recommended to vacuum them first) - stretching and securing new covers on the removed seats will be of better quality.

Dismantling begins from the rear seat - it is more convenient to remove the front seat from the passenger compartment through the rear doorway. The sofa in the front part is attached to the floor with two latches located closer to the doors, therefore, having felt them with your fingers, the lower frame of the seat is pulled up until the latches come out of their sockets. Then the seat is lifted, first pushed towards the trunk, and then pulled forward and pulled out of the cabin.

After dismantling the sofa, remove the backs of the rear seat - each of them is attached at the bottom to the floor under the carpet with four “13” bolts (2 on each side), which, in order to avoid tearing off the edges, are best unscrewed with a socket wrench. Then use a 14mm socket wrench to remove the rear seat belt brackets.

Having freed the interior from the rear row, they begin to dismantle the front seats, each of which is attached to the floor with its own slide. The head restraints are pulled out from the backs of the seats, and then the bolts securing the slides are loosened using a TORX 40 angle wrench. Under the seats of the chairs, the electrical connectors for heating them are disconnected, and the chairs are taken out of the cabin through the rear doorways.

What exactly are covers made of eco-leather material?

Eco-leather covers for Lada Vesta can be of any color, pattern, material itself, and it will look beautiful. It costs significantly less than its natural counterpart. Today, artificial leather has practically gotten rid of its disadvantage - the unpleasant odor. Nowadays, cellulose and synthetic polymers act as additives to the fabric base.

Eco-leather covers for Lada can be found in any spare parts store - you just have to run around to find the right pattern and color. The best option is to do it in a modern way, take a closer look at the models on the Internet in advance, “touch” it, and only then buy it. Modern material has its advantages:

1. High level of wear resistance;
2. Easy to clean from dust, dirt, stains;
3. Beautiful view;
4. Pleasant to the touch;
5. Porous surface for ventilation, maintaining moisture balance;
6. Natural components in the basis of the structure;
7. Resistant to temperature changes.

Top list of manufacturers of cases for Vesta and their price

We will highlight three categories of car covers: economy, eco-leather and comfort level. The average price will be indicated per set.

In the “economy” category, pay attention to AirlineWhisper ASC-KV-06 (1,800 rubles) and Hadar Rosen Corsar (1,900 rubles). Both options are universal. The first option is softer due to foam rubber inserts; it is easy to put on and secures on the back sofa with six zippers. They are stretched with elastic bands, and the front car covers consist of two parts to give them shape. There are many colors, but there is one drawback - there are no pockets in the backs of the chairs.

The second option is made of jacquard. You can't go wrong with flowers, but they are even easier to put on - they are attached to hooks. There are pockets in the backs, and the back pads can be given the correct shape using three zippers.

Faux leather covers are also divided into three levels depending on the thickness of the coating: economy (1 mm), standard (2 mm), comfort (5 mm). To begin with, it is worth mentioning the orthopedic products Autopro Multi Comfort. Be careful, they are universal. A large number of fasteners helps to adjust all the elements to size. Price – about 4,000 rubles.

If you want non-universal eco-leather covers, pay attention to the Senator Atlant Lada Vesta SD. They cost just over 6,000 rubles and cover the costs while maintaining all the functionality of the seats - they can be folded, a child seat can be installed, and nothing will change in the quality of the tension of the material. Suitable for everyday use.

Case functionality

Car covers, in addition to their practicality and beauty, can provide benefits for comfort and health. Orthopedic ones are good for your health - they will keep your back healthy. But for comfort, heated seats are suitable - this is a heating element that is connected either to the cigarette lighter or connected directly to the wiring, and the heating control is displayed on separate buttons instead of plugs.

The heating element is a thin flexible plate that is sewn between the layers of the cover. The heating element itself can be sewn into the seat upholstery, but the seat itself will take longer to heat up through the car cover. You can connect the wiring to the car's general network yourself - and to do this, insulate the wires with a plastic corrugated tube. Heated seats are a very useful option that is appreciated in winter.

We have compiled car seat covers with high comfort into a list:

• Autoprofi Urban - not very colorful soft car covers made of Alcantara are wear-resistant and versatile, with lateral support. 2,900 rubles.
• Senator Jacquard is another model from the company mentioned above, which is also universal. Made of jacquard with polyester, suitable for everyday use, resistant to wear. 3,500 rubles.
• Persona Full - this set is comfortable and made of eco-leather. They are soft and fastened with elastic bands. There are many colors in the model range, and each model has side support. 4,300 rubles.

Orthopedic covers – a solution for health

A driver who sits behind the wheel for a long time begins to feel numb throughout his body and his lower back “aches.” Before choosing and purchasing an orthopedic car cover or cape, consult a doctor so that he can determine which models you should consider based on the nature of the discomfort in your back.

The design of orthopedic capes is usually supplemented with lumbar or lateral support. They are usually made from velor or jacquard; materials can be combined. A set of orthopedic covers for Lada Vesta made of velor costs 3,000 rubles, and made of jacquard – 4,000 rubles.

Main types of seat covers

These interior design elements can be grouped according to many characteristics - material of manufacture, design architecture, installation method, etc. Let us consider only the classification that has practical application - by design and material of manufacture.

Classification by execution

All types of car seat covers are divided into the following subtypes:

• universal – suitable for installation on several models, sold in car dealerships;
• model - tailoring is carried out according to an individual sketch, cutting and from materials chosen by the customer.

The cost of model covers, especially those sewn according to a customer’s sketch, is naturally higher than the price of universal ones. However, it does not follow from this that a set of ready-made products from a store is necessarily worse than those made to order - a lot depends on the manufacturer, the quality of the material and the skill of the tailor.

Classification by material of manufacture

The variety of finishing fabrics also led to a wide range of materials used for sewing covers:

• Genuine leather is an expensive, beautiful, durable material, but it requires daily care, otherwise it will lose its aesthetics.
• Artificial leather:

More widely than the production of covers from the listed materials in their pure form, combined tailoring is used, taking into account the individual characteristics of the fabrics and the nuances of the operation of individual seat elements.

If the covers were made to order, then the service, as a rule, also includes their installation, so that flaws in cutting and sewing are identified before the customer finally pays for the work.

Let's consider installing ready-made covers for Lada Vesta, which were purchased in the store.

Luggage compartment

What seats are suitable for the Niva?
how to choose front and rear seats for a Niva The Lada Vesta’s storage compartment is more than fine - its volume is 480 liters. For comparison, Kia has a similar parameter, only 390 hp.

The domestic car also boasts better functionality - in the trunk there is a special organizer for small items and three more nets. All this allows you to securely secure and sort things.

LADA Vesta SW Cross build quality of the Russian station wagon

Moreover:

• the floor panel is easily removable, and underneath there is another additional compartment with a capacity of 95 liters;
• the rear sofa folds down and there is space for very large items (free space increases to 825 l);
• The Lada has wide handrails on the tailgate, which is convenient, while the Kia has only one stubby handle.

Features of operation

Installation of covers is a service that many companies provide. But this procedure requires certain investments.

Vehicle owners try to install car covers themselves. In order to install them on a sedan, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic recommendations:

• Removing seats. Before carrying out work, the seats are carefully removed from the vehicle. To do this, remove the nuts and other fasteners. In this case, it is easier to install and secure the covers and ensure a tight fit.
• Mounting features. Loops, elastic bands, and cords are used to secure products. To ensure that the products are properly dressed, you should not use sharp tools. After all, they provoke a violation of the integrity of the fastening.
• Reinstallation of seats. This process is performed in a certain order. The front seats are installed first, then the rear ones. During the process, the condition of electrical wiring and devices located under the seats is checked.

If necessary, the craftsmen will set up chairs and put on capes faster.

Standard front seats and rear sofa - article number and price

If for any reason you decide to replace the seats, get ready to look for them by catalog numbers:

For your own convenience, you can replace the standard set with an anatomical one if you spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Orthopedic chairs are a rather individual issue, because if you lack the back support that is in the factory version, you will most likely rush to buy the first orthopedic chair you find.

Be patient and take your time: consult a doctor, describe the nature of the problem that worries you, and ask what it should be. Today the market is full of various offers where you can find “your” option.

Rear seat disassembly step by step

To carry out repair work or installation without negative consequences, you must follow all stages of disassembling the rear seats. First you need to remove the rear seats of the Lada Vesta. You need to feel the special latches with your fingers and pull them gently up. Once the latches pop out, the chair will rise up. However, you should not raise it too high. It is not necessary.

Next, you need to move the seats a little towards the trunk so that you can lift the edge, which is located near the trunk itself. It must be lifted until the staples come out of the brackets. Only after these manipulations can you remove the rear seat in the car and remove it from the cabin.

It is worth remembering that when installing the lower seats from fasteners, you need to be very careful so as not to break them. Latches can also fail when installing seats on the Lada Vesta. These latches are fragile because they are made of hard materials.

When disconnecting the middle seat belt fastenings, you must use a socket wrench with a 14-mm head. First, unscrew the screw and then remove

Such work must be carried out with extreme caution, because when assembling a car, the manufacturer lubricates all bolted joints with a special lubricant

After this, you need to unscrew the screw of the bracket, which is located on the side. There are two of them - one screw for each chair. In this case, you will need a head of 13. After these steps, the seat cushions must be released by removing them from the latches and tilting them forward. Having unscrewed all the bolts at the back by 13, you can dismantle the seat on the car.
