DESCRIPTION

These seat covers are very well made, even a dealership employee said so. The material feels strong and durable, the stitching also appears durable.

The middle colored sections are two layers of fabric with varying sized-stitching, designed to allow the seats to "breath" and also whisk away moisture from the people sitting on them.

They're "not too slick" but not too difficult to scoot across either.

The front covers are designed to work on newer vehicles with airbags that deploy from inside the seat, a lightly stitched opening designed to break apart when those airbags deploy.

The rear seat cover has 3 zippers in the middle area, all 3 can be completely separated on both the back and seat sections of the cover. One is right down the middle, the other 2 are equal distances from the center, and pretty dang close to where our Corolla's 60/40 split is.

These will only work with car seats that have removable head rests for both the front and back seats (5 headrest covers included). I was able to install mine to look decent by messing with each one for a little while, my covers were installed in a 2010 Toyota Corolla SE.

For seat cover installations, you will have to remove the headrests FIRST, and you will likely have to make 4 or 6 cuts through the rear seat covers to allow the headrest posts to poke through. Rear seat belt buckles may require a cut to fit correctly as well. Just try to make these cuts no bigger than needed to push the posts and/or buckles through.

In the '10 Corolla, with 8 snips (6 headrest posts, 2 belt buckles), it fits nicely, though the darker gray isn't the best match for the light-gray interior. Our rear window seat headrests don't line up with the colored part of the covers, but take the time to get it centered and getting creative with securing the rear upper seat cover, it still looks great when it's done.

So I'm really satisfied with my purchase, these covers exceeded my expectations!

INSTALLATION TIPS:

* When installing the front seat covers, make sure the tags and modifications for the seat air bags are installed on the side of the seat your manufacturer says that airbag would deploy on your vehicle.

* Front seat covers may need a little "tucking" under plastic parts at the seats base to fit and look the best. Also, for the top of the front seat covers, there's a velcro opening that can be adjusted around the headrest posts.

* Back seat is 2 pieces, the upper only has the mesh fabric on the sides, make sure goes down. The lower part has the mesh fabric on 3 sides, the side without the mesh get's tucked into the corner with the bottom of the upper seat cover.

* On the '10 Corolla, I found that the middle of the bottom of the headrests weren't exactly sewn shut, appears intentional, and is the perfect location to tuck the excess fabric of the headrest cover up into, further improving it's fit.

* There are a bunch of hooks in a baggie inside the packaging to use with the elastic loops on the seat covers, I can't really help here, and prepare yourself for some twisting and turning throughout installation for best fit, and again, it's still worth it.

CONS

* My main complaint is having to cut into the fabric, I hesitated before making the first cut. Take your time, get the alignment *perfect* before making that first cut. The fabric doesn't seem to unravel too much, and the headrests themselves hide the new slits, so I feel confident that there won't be tearing over time because of it.

* Other than that, the only other negative is how much time it takes to get these seat covers installed perfectly, and I strongly recommend you taking your time. Make sure the seats are clean like you're removing crime scene evidence clean prior to installing the seat covers to make sure your seats won't get damaged because of trapped dirt and debris, and get the longest life out of the covers.

CONCLUSION

If you're looking for a high quality, full-set seat covers set that doesn't cost 3 digits like the custom-fit covers do, this set might just be for you. I am highly satisfied and will definitely consider this item/brand in the future. Hope you're reading this during a sale. :)

Gave the seat covers a try,figured for the price they would last until we could purchase better.We can`t believe how good they fit,how they look, perfect match in the color and most important,they don`t look cheap,people comment that they look like they were made for our car.The only down fall is that they are very hard to install my wife and I had to walk away from it and each other a few times before they were installed. Great product!

This seat cover is very versatile. I had a hard time finding a complete set that had the front covers airbag ready, without spending a fortune. It fit my 2010 Chevy Silverado Crew very well, I was a little unsure at first. It even comes with zipper pieces to split the rear seat so you can still flip up one side or the other. For what you get, and the ease of installation, its a steal!! I used zip ties to secure the bottom rear seat cover elastic straps to each other. Without removing the top back rear seat, I couldn't secure the top rear seat cover. I just tucked it around, works fine. The only problem I had was my front seat headrests can't be removed. So I had to cut/tear a little material to get the front seat covers over both. Not a real big issue. Not very noticeable. Sure beats paying $250 for the front, and another $250 for the rear... So the're not waterproof, better than nothing.

When I ordered these seat covers I guess they sold out and they tried to offer me different gray and black seat covers, but I decided to wait for these ones instead even though it ended up taking way longer to receive them than I anticipated. Anyways, the gray part is a lot lighter than I expected because they look way darker in the picture so they don't match the gray interior in my Ford Focus like I thought they would, but I guess it's hard to match up the same exact gray color. I was also unaware that the gray part has a fishnet layer on the top because you can't tell that in the picture either. I also wish they were thicker than they are and I wish that they had more hooks in the package to keep them in place. I would also prefer that there wasn't a zipper on the rear seat cover in the middle of the seat. Another thing is the headrest covers are a little big, but I guess that's better than being too small! Overall I like the seat covers and they do have a universal fit, but not a custom fit for your vehicle, but that's okay if you have a standard size car like mine.

Even though these seat covers weren't what I expected, I still like them a lot. The head rests fit a little funky though. They have straps at the bottom you can tie to make them fit better, but eh, it doesn't really do much. I just put them on yesterday, so hopefully the little indentions made from being packaged will go away soon enough. These seat covers are really slick looking though. The directions given aren't very clear at all, but seat covers aren't too hard to figure out. I wish they would have givent clearer directions on which straps to connect on the bottom, but they look good the way I did it. I would recommend these to anybody =)

I received my seat covers today via UPS 03/24/10, I ordered them on 03/18/10. I DO NOT understand why an item that weights about 3 lbs if that, would cost $12.03 in shipping. I have a Nissan Sentra 2010. The quality is not all that great but I guess it is ok for the price.
Cons...Attaching the hooks was not easy, I gave up due to frustration; will try again tomorrow o r Saturday.
There should be more directions as a step by step diagram.
The top and bottom should be marked with a sticker B and T, that would have been helpful.
My head-rest covers are very loose and do not fit at all.
Pros....I did not need to cut a slit for the seat belts due to my seat belts lay on the side and down the middle of the back seat.
The seat covers fit pretty well for the front and the back seats. Overall I am satisfied with my product and would recommend it.

I bought these seat covers to keep the seats of my newly purchased 2011 Honda Fit good for as long as possible. Seats usually fade, easily stained and holes pop up in them all the time. The seat covers provide a layer of protection. They seemed to fit well enough once I had all the straps secured in place. There were several straps and it took about a good half-hour to get them fitting well on the seats.

Honestly, I dont think they look as good as bare seats. However, I am not a real estate agent where I need my seats to look good. I bought these for protection purposes only. They look decent in my opinion. The fit isnt perfect, but its good enough for me.

The backseat cover has a zippered panel. When leaving one side unzipped, you can easily fold the seats up or down as designed. I uploaded some pictures with how it looks in my car.

I ordered these with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I have just installed them - it took me a little over an hour and a lot of patience, but it was not too difficult. I was really pleased with the quality of the seats. I thought the color was true to the picture. I expected a lot of bagginess, but the fit is surprisingly good for a universal seat cover. I appreciate the comments and tips from the reviewers before me. They were helpful in choosing this product and in installing it. I can't tell yet how the covers will hold up with use. I slid in and out of the seats a few times and the covers stayed in place and had a good feel to them. I will update this review in a month or so once my daughter and I have given the seats a beating. I would have given the covers 5 stars, but I want to see how they hold up first. Overall, much higher quality than I expected for 39.99. Shipping was quick, installation was reasonable, and the look is great.

Update after three weeks of use: Still looking brand new. They are comfortable to sit on and I'm amazed at how well they have stayed in place. I see no signs of wear and tear on them at all. I'm still very pleased!

I drive an 09 Ford Edge SEL. I love how the covers fit the front seats. The back seat was a real hassel to put on, but looks fine. I just won't be able to use the middle consol/cup holder that folds down, nor will I be able to fold down the seats individually. The head rests fit super baggy and looked awful, so I left them off.
Considering the price and that they look fantastic, I'm a happy camper!

Purchased this set of covers for our Prius, which has a cloth interior. Main reason for purchasing is to help prevent stains from spilling or food and help protect against normal wear and tear. Front seats were very easy to cover, just had to slip the covers on and adjust a little bit. Back seats took a little more effort, but we are pleased with the results. Wish that they came in grey, like the interior of our car, but we're satisfied with black.
