Citroen Berlingo 2018 Onwards Van Racking

Our Citroen Berlingo 2018 Onwards van seat covers are an essential accessory for anyone who owns a van, whether it’s for personal use, business, or a camper van. They serve multiple purposes, from protecting the seats to enhancing the comfort and aesthetic of the interior. Here’s a breakdown of what van seat covers are, why they’re important, and the different types available:

What Are Van Seat Covers?

Van seat covers are tailored fit and manufactured using a quality 600 denier polyester with a PU backing so our covers are comfortable and 100% waterproof. They are tailored to provide full protection and cover the seat upholstery from dirt, stains, wear, and tear. These covers can also help preserve the value of your van by keeping the interior in top condition.

Why Are Van Seat Covers Important?

1. Protection: Van seat covers protect your seats from a variety of common issues like spills, dirt, pet hair, food crumbs, and UV damage from the sun. This is especially helpful for todays tradesperson.
2. Are the seat covers breathable: No, our waterproof covers are not made from a breathable cloth. This is because breathable coatings are hydrophilic, they are designed to attract moisture, and this can make the coating more susceptible to wear and deterioration when used for seat covers.  However, the cloth we use has been chosen for its textured surface which diminishes moisture build-up in warm weather.  In practice you will find the covers comfortable even on long journeys with the assurance that liquid spills or wet clothing will not penetrate the cloth or stain your seats.
3. Style and Aesthetics: A well-chosen seat cover can enhance the look of your van’s interior, our seat covers are designed for the tradeperson.
4. Preserving Seat Condition: Our seat covers are a great way to prevent wear and maintain the seats’ condition for resale value.
5. Ease of Cleaning: Rather than cleaning your seats regularly, you can just remove the covers and throw them in the washing machine, this saves time and keeps the interior looking fresh. We advise that they are washed on a 30 degree wash, with a non-bio laundry detergent, and using no fabric softener, these covers are not suitable for the tumble dryer and they will need to be air dried.

Types of Van Seat Covers

1. Custom Fit Seat Covers: These are tailored specifically for your van’s make and model, ensuring a perfect fit. They offer the best protection and look as though they were made by the vehicle manufacturer.
2. Universal Fit Seat Covers: Simple answer, not in today’s world, van seats are no longer one size fits all, tailored seat covers are really the only viable option.
3. Seat Covers for Specific Uses: Depending on how you use your van, there are specific types of seat covers:
   • Heavy-Duty Seat Covers: Ideal for work vans or for transporting heavy loads, tools, or equipment.
   • Waterproof Seat Covers: Perfect for vans that are frequently exposed to wet conditions or for those who travel with pets or kids.
   • Can the seat covers be used on heated seats: Yes! Our seat covers are compatible with heated seats.
   • Why do we offer options for your vehicle: In many cases there can be multiple variation of seats in one vehicle. If you need any help to choose which seat covers you need, please get in touch so we can help.
   • Is fitting a seat cover difficult: Fitment is different for all of our seat covers but here are some handy hints.
   • Lay out and identify the pieces before you try to fit them to ensure you’ve got everything and you know where it’s going.
   • For models with side airbag slots these will always be fitted on the outside of the seat, not the inside. Our airbag slots are a line down the side of the cover held together by two weak stitches.
   • When fitting headrests the seams should be fitted to the front.
   • When fitting seat parts that are only part elasticated, always fit the bound side first and then the elastic. Sometimes this will be tight when fitting so it fits snug once it’s in the right place!
   • Our straps are sewn in the direction they are meant to be pulled; i.e. front to back, side to side, etc.
   • Most of the time headrests will need to be removed in order to fit the covers.
   • Zips will always be on the front of the cover, not the rear, these are usually used for access to work trays, or so a central seat belt can still be used.
   • Our seat cover: Designed for the trade, they are robust and look after the seats.
