Seat Covers for cracked or ripped Honda Element seats
Elements are amazing vehicles and owners can easily get 500k miles out of the Honda K24 engine.
The seats however are not going to last that long…let’s fix this
Option 1: take your Honda Element to an upholstery shop, these shops can often replace just a small section that has worn or redo them completely with customizable options. Finding a reputable shop near you may be a challenge, but you will be supporting a local business and jobs in your community.
Option 2: Seat covers are one of the best/easiest ways to add new life and color to your Element. There are more than just two companies that make seat covers, but these two companies I have seen in many different Elements and are a perfect fit. Just a heads up here, a perfect fit is going to be difficult to install. Give yourself a few hours to install them properly or better yet remove the seat to install, the limited access to the underside of the E seats makes install a real pain. Don’t let this scare you off because once on you will love them.
Please note that 2003-2006 Element front seats are different than 2007-2011 models.
The 07-11 have the seat belt incorporated into the seat vs on the rear door of 03-06 models.
2003-2006 Honda Element Seat Covers
The early model Element seats all seem to tear & crack. These OEM seat covers (linked below) are a quick & easy fix. Aftermarket versions are also available.
A few suggestions on the install of the OEM model...
Repair the torn/cracked fabric with Tenacious Tape (linked below) to prevent any further damage to the seat.
When installing the seat cover, start with the part that passes through the upper & lower sections. Push it through & connect it to the bar underneath.
Then pull & stretch the rest over the lower & upper sections.

2007-2011 Honda Element Seat Covers
07-11 Elements have improved seats that do not seem to tear/crack. Honda does not make OEM covers for these model years. However if you're looking for a set we suggest COVERKING or WET OKOLE, they both make excellent custom sets with endless options.
