Genuine Nissan Seat Covers

Genuine Nissan Seat Covers

One thing worth clearing up first, because it changes what you should order. The seat covers on this page are factory upholstery, the fabric and leather that came stretched over the seat frame from the plant. They are not slip-on protective covers. If a seat is torn, worn through at the bolster or stained past cleaning, this is the part that fixes it properly, by replacing the cover itself rather than hiding it.

Why the Match Is So Specific

Look at how a Nissan seat cover is cataloged and you can see why guessing does not work. Part 87370-9BL1C is a manual seat, with side air bag, king cab, standard cloth, in graphite. Part 88320-5EE3A is the split bench, seat cushion components, in charcoal. Every one of those words narrows the part: the seat adjustment type, whether there is a side airbag, the cab configuration, the material and the color. Two trucks from the same model year can take different covers.

The Side Airbag Detail

This is the one that matters for safety, not just fit. On seats with a side airbag, the cover has a tear seam engineered into the seat back so the bag deploys through the upholstery along a controlled line. A cover without that seam, or a generic cover pulled over the top, can interfere with deployment. If your seat has the airbag tag on the side, the replacement cover has to be the one built for it.

What Else Is Here

Beyond the covers themselves the catalog carries seat back cushion covers, recliner mechanism covers, seat track covers and hinge covers. These are the plastic pieces around the base of the seat that crack from feet, car seats and cargo. They are inexpensive and they are what make a reupholstered seat look finished instead of half done.

Before You Order

Get your trim code as well as your VIN. Color and material are part of the part number, so charcoal and graphite are different parts even on the same seat. Add your vehicle to filter the catalog, and confirm the airbag and adjustment type on the seat you are actually replacing rather than the one on the other side of the cab.

When to Replace Instead of Repair

A seam that has let go can sometimes be restitched. A cover worn through on the outer bolster, where you slide in and out, cannot: the fabric there has thinned across a wide area and a patch will pull loose within months. The same goes for foam showing through and for sun damage that has made the material brittle enough to tear when pulled. The upside of a factory cover is that the seat goes back to how it looked originally, which matters when the rest of the interior is intact. Budget the labor honestly too. Pulling a seat, releasing the hog rings and stretching a new cover over cold foam takes most of a morning per seat, and the cover goes on far easier in a warm shop than in a driveway in February. Plan the job for a day you are not also using the truck.
