2017 Ford Escape Custom Fit Vehicle Protection and Auto Accessories from California Car Cover

 

California Car Cover recently added a 2017 Ford Escape to its fleet, so of course we had to outfit it with some accessories to protect it while on the road. We don't know how to paint or customize cars, but we sure know how to protect vehicles and keep them looking new for long as possible.

The first step was to improve the interior protection of the Ford Escape. By upgrading the vehicle's floor mats, we were able to better protect the factory interior from dirty shoes and spills.

We selected a set of Lloyd Mat Ultimat custom fit carpet floor mats for the 2017 Ford Escape. These plush carpet floor mats are custom fit for the vehicle. The mats are designed to not only look great, but provide comfort and protection. 

The Lloyd Mat Ultimat floor mats are much larger and thicker than the Ford OE floor mats. The mats do utilize the factory mounting tabs to secure the floor mats in place. Lloyd Mat offers a variety of custom fit carpet and rubber floor mat options for the Ford Escape and 1,000s of other vehicles on the road.

To protect the rear floor carpet from messy kids (and employees), we selected a custom fit Weathertech Digital Fit floor liner. These molded liners have a raised edge to prevent dirt and grime from getting all over your vehicle. These liners will keep dirt and trampled snacks from transferring to the Ford Escape's interior.

A custom fit Weathertech cargo liner was also chosen to protect the trunk area of the Ford Escape. Need to protect your interior before a trip to the beach, baseball practice or home improvement store? Make sure you pick up one of these liners beforehand. 

Sunlight and harmful UV rays can damage your interior and increase heat inside the vehicle. We suggest a custom fit sun shade and dash cover to protect the interior of the Ford Escape.

The Ultimate Reflector Sun Shade is custom fit for the Ford Escape. This insulated sun shade has a reflective exterior layer to reduce heat to keep your interior, especially the steering wheel, much cooler. The folding sun shade installs in just seconds and is tailor made for your vehicle.

Protect your dashboard from fading and cracking with a custom fit Dash Designs dash cover. Dash Designs offers a variety of materials and color combinations for dash covers. We selected a Dashtex dash cover for the 2017 Ford Escape. The sporty style of the Dashtex material looks good inside the Ford Escape. 

Now that we have the floor surfaces protected the next step is to protect the seating surfaces in the Ford Escape. The rear bench seat needed some protection from kids and pets, so we opted for a CalTrend custom fit rear bench seat cover in their NeoSupreme material. The CalTrend seat cover is custom fit for the 2017 Ford Escape. This seat cover features covers for the separate headrests and armrests, plus allows for access to the center armrest and inside mount seat belt for the middle seat. Custom fit seat covers are the best way to get a great fitting seat cover that does not sacrifice comfort, convenience or safety. 

It took us about 30 minutes to install the CalTrend NeoSupreme rear bench seat cover in the Ford Escape. The seat cover provides a snug fit so it does not wrinkle or warp when used, but this means the covers do take a little time to install. The result though is a custom fitted seat cover that gives you an OE look and protection.

CalTrend offers a number of different seat cover materials and color combinations, so no matter what seat cover you are looking for, CalTrend likely has a cover for you.

To let some fresh air into the 2017 Ford Escape without too much wind or noise, we installed some Weathertech Side Window Deflectors. These deflectors install in just minutes and are a convenient way to reduce interior heat and improve air circulation. 

Our last step was to outfit the 2017 Ford Escape with a custom fit California Car Cover. We selected one of our Superweave car covers for the Escape because of its ease of use and overall weather protection. The lightweight material is easy to handle and folds down small for taking to trade shows or on road trips. It provides excellent water resistance and UV protection.

How to Install Custom Seat Covers

The crew from Cal Trend came by our studio to show us how easy it is to install some of their velour seat covers. Cal Trend manufacturers custom seat covers for a lot of vehicles in a lot of different materials. You can check out the options on our website.
We ordered from velour seat covers for my 2010 Ford Flex for use in catalog photos. The first step is to remove the headrests so the top piece can be slipped over the seats.
Once the cover is pulled all the way down, make sure any openings for armrests or side airbags are properly lined up.
Next, the crew lined up the bottom seat cover. Simply slide the plastic tabs through the bottom of the seat back. Once the seat cover is tightly in place you can properly fit it to the seat.
Notice the side? The seat cover material is custom fit for the seat, so the fabric is designed to be tucked inside the plastic frame of the seat. The nylon straps shown are attached to the front edge of the seat cover base. Those straps are run underneath the seat. They will be secured to the plastic loops from the top side. Please be careful on this step: Make sure that any wiring for the seat controls is not caught in the straps.
Once the straps are passed under the seat, loop them through the plastic buckles to tighten.
After the top and bottom are secure, slip the custom cover over the headrest. The installers recommend doing this before putting the headrest back on the seat. It is much easier to slip the headrest cover on if you rest it on your leg.
The seat covers do come with detailed instructions on how to install bucket or bench seat covers.
Here is how the front and back row seat covers look on the Flex. The installation takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Thank you to the guys from Cal Trend for stopping by our studio to help us out.

2010 Ford Flex Project

2010 Ford Flex
I recently picked up a 2010 Ford Flex Limited. I am going to cover the customization and detailing of the Flex on our blog page. I have not decided what I am going to do to it just yet, so this post involves the care and maintenance.
Because I am always in and out of our photo studio with props and products, I had my friends at Cal Trend make up a set of custom velour seat covers. They make custom covers for every row in the Flex and only take about 30 min to install. Seat Covers on our website.
The custom sun shade is a must for the summer. It's well over 100 degrees all July and August in Southern California, so the rolling sun shade has been great at keeping my dash cool.

I also had to get a custom cover when the Flex is not in the garage. I picked up a Superweave because it is lightweight and easy to care for. The normal Flex pattern does not have an antenna pocket, so I had my sewing dept add that on.
