Two years living full time in our Ford Transit. Two years of driving, eating, working, chilling on the front seats (thanks to the swivels we installed). Needless to say, the front seats started to look like they’ve been through a lot… Surprisingly, a deep-clean restored them to what they used to look, neat! That being said, investing in OEM Ford Transit seat covers might be a good idea? Keep reading this review to find out!
Jumping to Conclusion
These Ford seat covers do what they’re suppose to: protecting the seats. They’re very easy to install / remove, so no excuses not to wash them frequently! However, we were a bit turned off by their look: they do look a bit loose & sloppy. So we won’t leave them permanently installed, but we are certainly going to use them during mountain biking mud seasons (Spring & Fall).
What We Like
- Easy install / removal in about 15 minutes for frequent wash.
- Protects the seat, head rest & arm rest.
- They’re more comfortable than they look (they stay in place when you move).
- Storage pocket in the back of the seat.
What We Don’t Like
- They look a bit loose & sloppy.
Where to Buy the Ford Transit Seat Covers

Installing the Ford Transit Seat Covers
Remove the headrest by pulling UP:
Place the seat cover on the seat:
Route these three straps through the space between the “buttrest” and backrest:
Secure the strap, but don’t tighten them too much at this point:
Fit the cover all around the buttrest. These puff thingy help the cover stay in place; it’s hard to get in but you’ll figure it out:
You can now tighten the three straps. It should look more or less like this:
Install the headrest cover:
Install the armrest cover:
Boom, DONE!
That’s it folks, hope that helps!

Any recommendations on Transit sidesteps? Love the site! Thanks!
We have the factory side steps, but if we were in the market for aftermarket, we’d most likely go with the FVC Side Steps. Only have good things to report about FVC (we have FVC Roof Rack, Rear Door Platform, and Nudge Bar)!
