Good for universal covers, April 23, 2011
This set was the closest I could come to custom seats without paying the custom price. As anyone with an SUV knows the hard part is not the front seats...it's the back bench. With so many different split seat variations (30/70, 40/60, 40/20/40, etc) it can be hard to find a non-custom cover that not only covers the seat but also allows you to raise and lower it in sections.
This set does the job, but only partially. I was pleased with the look of the front covers. They don't look half bad. The back seat was only partially successful. The zippered panels are a great idea because when I put the seat part of it on it covered the belt buckle connectors. By unzipping two of the panels just a little I was able to expose the connectors and have the cover still look good.Unfortunately the seat back covers didn't fit well at all and looked sloppy. I tried several combinations, like covering the whole seat (which would mean unzipping the cover every time I wanted to put the middle console down), covering only the seats and leaving the middle console uncovered (which is more functional but looks funny), and finally not covering the seat backs at all.
In the end, I decided on the no cover on the seat back option. It looks better, the seat is fully functional, and the seat portion is still protected from spills and wear.
So while I'm please with the look and material of the covers, I was only able to use part of the set. That's no fault of the manufacturer: After all, they made a set that works in most vehicles, which is a tall order. In fact, I like the look so much I'm going to order another set to use in my wife's car.
One piece of advice for installation: be very careful with the elastic pulls. When I was putting on the first cover I grabbed one of the pulls and tried to pull a portion of the cover between the seat back and bottom, and the pull came off immediately. They are NOT strong.

So Far So Good, June 26, 2011
I purchased these covers in March 2011 and wanted to get a few months use before putting in a review. I have to say I am impressed with how well these have held up so far. I have 2 dogs and originally purchased these seat covers to keep my back seat clean. Pet hair and mud is so much easier to get rid of now. Seats fit extremely well for not being customer set. I have them installed on 2007 Suzuki XL7. It does take about 2-3 hours to properly install the covers but it is worth it to take the extra time to make sure they fit good. I would definately buy again in the future.

Great covers, May 10, 2011
These covers are great for the car. Really protects the seats. I did not have any problems putting them on. But it does take some time. Well worth it to keep them clean . Dogs can be dogs and bringing fur, dirt,and junk when you least expect it!
