Seat Cover Review

Well, I didn't have instructions, so I didn't remove them.  But it looks to me like the little cut out for the seat back latch is there where the velcro sticks to the carpet.

Yup! And the flap at the bottom just hangs down and covers the bolt (I guess). Yes, the instructions tell you the proper socket size (12mm) to remove the bolster, but then doesn't say a THING about how the cover goes on! No mention of the plastic tabs, or Velcro to the carpet (which can only be done with the bolster in place, of course). Here's one of those times where reading the instructions screwed me up!

On the other side, with the vent louvers, it might work better to remove it and install the cover.  On mine I have the seam across the top of it which looks unsightly.

OK. They're easy to remove, certainly! I finally got the driver's side done. I'll get the passenger side later.

I'm only doing the rear seats because we have a kid and a dog back there. I think I'll just leave the fronts as they are. Anybody need the front covers?

This is exactly what I was looking for. It does not mention whether they fit with the seat mounted air bags. Do you have these?

Yes, there's a cut-out.

I did some searching and found that the company is "The Seat Cover Factory East". Instead of $49/$59 eBay prices, their website sells the complete set for $79 which is still a great bargain, imo. I'm now wondering if the items they sell on eBay might be 2nds.

the wet okoles are pricey but water and bomb proof. Perfect for after surfing

I saw their website has 3 options for its fabric: Velour, Twill and Endura waterproof. Does anyone knows what are they and which one is better looking, thank you very much!!

I ordered the Endura, got velour.. When I called up, they said that was all it came in... (At least for what I ordered (gray/ no side air bags)

The quality was fine, especcially for the price, but customer service is where they save costs

wow...reminds me of a sofa I had in 1970..sharp!

Ok, I bought these in velour for my tan 04 about six months ago, and I really have to disagree. I only have the front bucket seat covers. The tops (seat backs) fit quite well, but the bottoms are a DISASTER. I don't think there is any way to latch the long velcro strips that are supposed to go horizontally under the seat. Both my passenger and driver bottoms constantly get pulled towards the front until I am sitting on the plastic latches. I cannot for the life of me get them to stay in their correct position.

The headrest covers are WAY too small to velcro at all around the bottom.

Incidentally, they collect cat hair like no one's buisiness, but that is probably mostly my fault.

I really didn't expect a whole lot better for $49 and its better than nothing, but I am really disappointed in the bottom of the bucket seats.
