The cover’s construction works with the standard height adjustment mechanism, without the need for seat modifications or additional adapters.

The vehicle placement specified as right / left side allows for selecting the correct configuration relative to the driver’s or passenger’s side, depending on the body version and target market. Proper selection of the mounting side is crucial for maintaining full adjustment functionality and correct alignment with other upholstery elements.
